Virtual Cities: From Digital Twins to Autonomous AI Societies by Andrey Nechesov, Ivan Dorokhov, Janne Ruponen

“…This paper proposes an integrated simulation framework that combines physical, structural, behavioral, cognitive, and data fidelity layers, allowing multi-scale simulation from microscopic interactions to macro-urban dynamics. A composite fidelity metric (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$F_{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) provides systematic approach to evaluate accuracy variations across applications in VCs. …”

Microbial Basis for Suppression of Soil-Borne Disease in Crop Rotation by Boxi Wang, Shuichi Sugiyama

“…Twenty preceding crops from different plant families showed significant differences in the disease damage, pathogen density, and bacterial community composition of the host plant. Structural equation modelling revealed that the relative abundance of four key bacterial orders in Chinese cabbage roots can explain 85% and 70% of the total variation in pathogen density and disease damage, respectively. …”

Differential lipid dependence of the function of bacterial sodium channels. by Nazzareno D'Avanzo, Emily C McCusker, Andrew M Powl, Andrew J Miles, Colin G Nichols, B A Wallace

“…NavMs and NavSp showed strong preference for different negatively-charged lipids (phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol, respectively), whilst NaChBac exhibited a more modest variation with lipid type. To investigate the molecular bases of these differences we used synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy to compare structures in liposomes of different composition, and molecular modeling and electrostatics calculations to rationalize the functional differences seen. …”
