Genome-wide exploration: Evolution, structural characterization, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and expression analysis of sugar transporter (ST) gene family in potato (Solanum tuberosum).

Sugars are the basic structural components of carbohydrates. Sugar transport is crucial for plants to ensure their optimal growth and development. Long-distance sugar transport occurs through either diffusion-based passive or active transport mediated by transporter proteins.

Gamified mHealth System for Evaluating Upper Limb Motor Performance in Children: Cross-Sectional Feasibility Study.

Background: Approximately 17% of children in the United States have been diagnosed with a developmental or neurological disorder that affects upper limb (UL) movements needed for completing activities of daily living. Gold-standard laboratory assessments of the UL are objective and precise but may not be portable, while clinical assessments can be time-intensive. We developed MoEvGame, a mobile health (mHealth) gamification software system for the iPad, as a potential advanced technology to assess UL motor functions.

Dynamic tuning of optoelectronic and mechanical properties in TlMCl (M = Ge, Sn) under pressure-induced phase transition.

Recent advances in lead-free halide perovskites have expanded their potential use in solar panels and optoelectronic applications. Motivated by their excellent properties, we investigate the physical characteristics of two lead-free halide perovskites, TlMCl (M = Ge, Sn), under hydrostatic pressure. This paper explores the pressure-induced semiconductor-to-metal phase transition in halide perovskites TlMCl (M = Ge, Sn), focusing on their optoelectronic and mechanical properties.

Crystal stability and the origin of transport properties of new MAX phases YAN (A = , ): A theoretical background for experimental study.

Crystal structure prediction has garnered considerable attention in recent years, and this study presents the density functional theory (DFT)-based first-principles prediction of the crystal stability and transport properties of YAN (A = , ) MAX phase compounds for the first time. The calculated structural properties are consistent with other yttrium-containing MAX phases. Most importantly, the formation enthalpy, cohesive energy, and predicted melting temperatures, combined with the total density of states (TDOS) analysis, indicate that YAN (A = , ) phases are thermodynamically stable and exhibit good structural stability.
