We present a generalization of Bregman divergences in finite-dimensional symplectic vector spaces that we term symplectic Bregman divergences. Symplectic Bregman divergences are derived from a symplectic generalization of the Fenchel-Young inequality which relies on the notion of symplectic subdifferentials. The symplectic Fenchel-Young inequality is obtained using the symplectic Fenchel transform which is defined with respect to the symplectic form.

S-nitrosylation (SNO) modification, a nitric oxide (NO)-mediated post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, plays an important role in protein microstructure, degradation, activity, and stability. Due to the presence of reducing agents, the SNO modification process mediated by NO derivatives is often reversible and unstable. This reversible transformation between SNO modification and denitrification often influences the structure, activity, and function of proteins.

Due to the rising number of long-term mental health conditions, there has been a shift in therapeutic focus from curing these conditions, to living a meaningful life with them. Self-management is described as the ability to live with the emotional, life role and medical consequences of long-term conditions such as schizophrenia. However, the perspective of people with schizophrenia on self-management in current literature is missing.

The existence of stress singularities and reliance on linear approximations pose significant challenges in comprehending the stress field generation mechanism around dislocations. This study employs differential geometry and calculus of variations to mathematically model and numerically analyse screw dislocations. The kinematics of the dislocation are expressed by the diffeomorphism of the Riemann-Cartan manifold, which includes both the Riemannian metric and affine connection.

The stimulus-response curve is usually modeled by the Hill function due to its simplicity and clear molecular mechanisms (Michaelis-Menten type of kinetics). Unfortunately, the mechanisms do not explain why the stimulus is ubiquitously measured by logarithmic dose rather than the dose itself and why the log(dose)-response curve possesses such fine properties as symmetry and wide adjustability. Here, the dose-response is considered from a holistic perspective spanning multiple biological levels from molecules to the whole organism, which reveals that an appropriate model for log(dose) response is the cumulative normal distribution (CND) function, which had only statistical implication previously but now possess mechanistic-statistical duality.
