Functional Relationships Reveal Large Differences in Streamflow Response to eCO2‐Vegetation in Global Water Models by Haoshan Wei, Yongqiang Zhang, Qi Huang, Changming Liu, Thorsten Wagener

“…To study these differences, we compared model outputs against observations from 1,116 small, unimpacted catchments. Functional relationships between climate variables, such as precipitation (P), aridity, and temperature (T), and eCO2‐vegetation‐driven streamflow (QCO2) changes show large deviations between models and observations, especially in response to changing leaf area index (LAI). …”

Conformational and Stability Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Variants by Molecular Simulation by Gustavo E. Olivos-Ramirez, Luis F. Cofas-Vargas, Tobias Madl, Adolfo B. Poma

“…Specifically, we examined four well-known variants (Delta, BA.1, XBB.1.5, and JN.1) alongside the wild-type (WT) form of SARS-CoV-2. The conformational states of each variant were characterized by analyzing their distributions within a selected space of collective variables (CVs), such as inter-domain distances between the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and the N-terminal domain (NTD). …”
