Cold-Active Lipase from the Ice Cave SC65A.3 Strain, a Promising Biocatalyst for Silybin Acylation.

Cold-active lipase from the psychrophilic bacterial strain SC65A.3 isolated from Scarisoara Ice Cave (Romania) was cloned and characterized as an extremophilic biocatalyst for silybin acylation. Structural analyses highlighted conserved motifs confirming a functional lipase and the presence of primary structure elements for catalysis at low temperatures.

Acoustic Fractional Propagation in Terms of Porous Xerogel and Fractal Parameters.

This article portrays solid xerogel-type materials, based on chitosan, TEGylated phenothiazine, and TEG (tri-ethylene glycol), dotted with a large number of pores, that are effectively represented in their constitutive structure. They were assumed to be fractal geometrical entities and adjudged as such. The acoustic fractional propagation equation in a fractal porous media was successfully applied and solved with the help of Bessel functions.

AI Evaluation of Imaging Factors in the Evolution of Stage-Treated Metastases Using Gamma Knife.

Background: The study investigated whether three deep-learning models, namely, the CNN_model (trained from scratch), the TL_model (transfer learning), and the FT_model (fine-tuning), could predict the early response of brain metastases (BM) to radiosurgery using a minimal pre-processing of the MRI images. The dataset consisted of 19 BM patients who underwent stereotactic-radiosurgery (SRS) within 3 months. The images used included axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences and high-resolution contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CE T1w) sequences from the tumor center.

Mercury Bonding to Xerogel: The Interface Fractal Dynamics of the Interaction between Two Complex Systems.

This study describes novel solid substances founded on chitosan and TEGylated phenothiazine that have a high ability for hydrargyrum recovery from watery liquid solutions. These compounds were taken into account, consisting of two distinct entity interactions inside of the classic fractal dynamics conjecture of an "interface". They were assimilated through fractal-type mathematical objects and judged as such.

Fractal Analysis of Four Xerogels Based on TEGylated Phenothiazine and Chitosan.

The present article describes novel massive materials (in the solid phase) based on TEGylated phenothiazine and chitosan that possess great capability to recover mercury ions from constituent aqueous solutions. These were produced by chitosan hydrogelation accompanied by formyl subsidiary item of TEGylated phenothiazine, attended by lyophilization. The delineation and structure description of the obtained material or supramolecular assembly were realized by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and POM (Polarized Light Optical Microscopy).
