Pedersen, Anup Shrestha, Jonathan R. Brewer, Pascal H. G. Duijf, Odd L. Gammelgaard, Henrik J. Ditzel, Alexei F. Kirkin, Per Guldberg, Morten F. Gjerstorff

“…Results We show that breast cancer tumors and cell cultures exhibit a highly heterogenous response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, persisting even under high drug concentrations and efficient DNA methyltransferase depletion. The observed variability in response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors was independent of cancer-associated aberrations and clonal genetic diversity. …”

Genetically Engineered Bacterial Ghosts as Vaccine Candidates Against <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Infection by Svetlana V. Dentovskaya, Anastasia S. Vagaiskaya, Alexandra S. Trunyakova, Alena S. Kartseva, Tatiana A. Ivashchenko, Vladimir N. Gerasimov, Mikhail E. Platonov, Victoria V. Firstova, Andrey P. Anisimov

“…Previously, this kit made it possible to generate bacterial cells of <i>Yersinia pestis</i> with varying degrees of hydrolysis and variable protective activity. <b>Results:</b> In the current study, we showed that co-expression of the holin and endolysin genes from the L-413C phage elicited more rapid and efficient <i>K. pneumoniae</i> lysis than lysis mediated by only single gene <i>E</i> or the low functioning holin–endolysin system of λ phage. …”

Grid-connected PV inverter system control optimization using Grey Wolf optimized PID controller by Monika Gupta, P. M. Tiwari, R. K. Viral, Ashish Shrivastava, Basem Abu Zneid, Iryna Hunko

“…Conventional controllers such as P and PI are widely used in PV applications due to their simplicity, but they exhibit notable limitations in dynamic environments, including increased Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), slower transient response, and poor voltage regulation—particularly under variable irradiance conditions. The proposed GWO-PID method overcomes these limitations by leveraging the GWO algorithm’s global search capability to dynamically optimize the PID gains (Kp, Ki, Kd) based on a composite fitness function that minimizes Mean Squared Error (MSE) and THD. …”

Sensitivity Analysis of Soil Hydraulic Parameters for Improved Flow Predictions in an Atlantic Forest Watershed Using the MOHID-Land Platform by Dhiego da Silva Sales, Jader Lugon Junior, David de Andrade Costa, Renata Silva Barreto Sales, Ramiro Joaquim Neves, Antonio José da Silva Neto

“…The hydraulic soil parameters of VGM are dependent on soil type and are typically estimated from experimental data; however, they are often obtained using pedotransfer functions, which carry significant uncertainty. As a result, calibration is frequently required to account for both the natural spatial variability of soil and uncertainties estimation. …”
