Secondary Decomposers Meet Their Predators : Decomposition Stage and Substrate Quality Jointly Structure Microbial Brown Food Webs During Fungal Necromass Decay

Mycelial residues, also known as fungal necromass, represent a substantial fraction of soil organic matter (SOM) pools in terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Although microbial decomposers are increasingly recognised as key drivers of fungal necromass carbon stock formation, the diversity and composition of their microbial predators—and the roles these predators play in mediating fungal necromass de

Involvement of Escherichia coli unconventional G protein, YchF, in cell growth at the stationary phase

YchF is a universally conserved unconventional G protein. It is known to be involved in the translation of leaderless mRNA. However, leaderless mRNA is rare in Escherichia coli under normal culture conditions, so we analyzed E. coli YchF to clarify its function in vivo. First, bioinformatics analysis was performed, and then the growth and survival of ychF mutants were investigated. The results sug

Real-world Cost per Responder Among Different Classes of Biologics for the Treatment of Psoriasis

Although biologics have revolutionized psoriasis treatment, they pose a significant burden on the healthcare budget. With the wide range of biologics available and the increasing number of biosimilars, insights into the real-world cost per responder (CPR) are required. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the real-world CPR of adalimumab, ustekinumab, IL17-and IL23-inhibitors, incorporating both

Estimating Instrument Spectral Response Functions Using Sparse Representations and Quadratic Envelopes

The estimation of high resolution spectrometer Instrument Spectral Response Functions (ISRFs) is crucial because an imperfect knowledge of these functions can induce errors in the measurements. The state-of-the-art for this problem currently relies on the use of parametric models, which frequently lack flexibility to accurately model real-world ISRFs. To address this limitation, this paper propose

Hur värderas avbrott i fjärrvärmeleveranser? – En analys av metod och kundperspektiv

Fjärrvärme är en central del av det svenska energisystemet och spelar en oumbärlig roll i samhället. Om ett avbrott skulle ske så leder det så småningom till sänkta temperaturer, och sänkta temperaturer kan medföra fara för hälsa, skador på system, och andra konsekvenser som exempelvis svårigheter att upprätthålla vårdverksamheter eller att upprätthålla det svenska försvaret. Det är alltså viktigtDistrict heating is a central part of the Swedish energy system and plays an indispensable role in society. If an interruption were to occur, it would eventually lead to lower temperatures, and lower temperatures could pose a health risk, damage to systems, and other consequences such as difficulties in maintaining healthcare operations or maintaining the Swedish defense. It is therefore important

Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur faktorerna ledarskap och gruppsammanhållning är relaterade till och samverkade i relation till den individuellt upplevda prestationen, samt om det finns något skillnad i dessa samband melIn a society where performance demands are rapidly increasing, the need for greater knowledge of the factors that contribute to individuals perceived performance has become increasingly important. The aim of the present study was to examine whether the factors of leadership and group cohesion influenced and interacted in relation to individual perceived performance, whether these relationships dif

Effect of Pramipexole on Nucleus Accumbens Resting State Functional Connectivity in Anhedonia – an fMRI Study

Anhedoni, minskad motivation att uppleva lust, är associerad med förändringar i belöningssystemet. Belägen i ventrala striatum utgör den bilaterala nucleus accumbens (NAcc) den centrala noden i detta nätverk, där dopamin agerar som huvudsaklig excitatorisk neurotransmitter. Studier med funktionell magnetresonanstomografi (fMRI) har visat att aktiviteten i ventrala striatum minskar under belöningsbAnhedonia, reduced motivation to experience pleasure, is associated with alterations in the circuitry of the reward system. Located in the ventral striatum, the bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAcc) is the central hub of this network where dopamine acts as the main excitatory neurotransmitter. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) found that activity in the ventral striatum is de

Cubosomes are self-assembled lipid nanoparticles with a unique structure that hold significant promise for drug delivery. Cubosomes can encapsulate and transport a wide range of pharmaceuticals and imaging agents, potentially enhancing targeted therapies and medical imaging applications. Although there is growing interest in using cubosomes as drug delivery vehicles, their interactions with biolog

Band termination at very high spin in Yb158

The unusual yrast spectrum of Yb158 at very high spins is interpreted in terms of a band termination at Iπ=36+. A similar spectrum with band terminations is obtained in microscopic cranking calculations for this nucleus. A basic element of the theory is that the finiteness of rotational bands is connected with a gradual shape change until the rotation takes place around a symmetry axis.
