Acute Osmotic and pH Shock to Bioluminescent Bacteria Is Reversible in Terms of Luminescence Response.

Bioluminescence inhibition (BLI) measurements in bioluminescent bacteria (BB) is perceived as a potential qualitative and quantitative indicator of hazardous materials. Acute but minor fluctuations in osmolarity and pH do not affect the living systems significantly. However, significant BLI is observed from marine BB due to acute osmolarity or pH changes that may affect the bioassay sensitivity.

Nanoring interactions with bio-relevant molecule: A quantum chemical approach to C and BN systems.

This study investigates the interaction of a synthetic bio-relevant molecule with C and BN nanorings, exploring their potential applications in sensing and drug delivery. Employing Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the ωB97XD level with the 6-31G(d,p) basis set, we computed the adsorption and electronic properties of the resulting nanocomplexes. A total of ten distinct configurations were identified for the interactions, with adsorption energies ranging from -6.

Synergistic learning with multi-task DeepONet for efficient PDE problem solving.

Multi-task learning (MTL) is an inductive transfer mechanism designed to leverage useful information from multiple tasks to improve generalization performance compared to single-task learning. It has been extensively explored in traditional machine learning to address issues such as data sparsity and overfitting in neural networks. In this work, we apply MTL to problems in science and engineering governed by partial differential equations (PDEs).

Effect of telemedicine support for intraoperative anaesthesia care on postoperative outcomes: the TECTONICS randomised clinical trial.

Background: Telemedicine may help improve care quality and patient outcomes. Telemedicine for intraoperative decision support has not been rigorously studied.

Methods: This was a single-centre randomised clinical trial of unselected adult surgical patients.

Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.
