Flux variability analysis enables comprehensive exploration of alternate optimal routes in a metabolic network. This method is especially useful with models such as bna572 for the developing oilseed rape embryo which is highly compartmentalized. Here, we describe a protocol for carrying out flux variability analysis on reactions and network projections of bna572 using well-established software (CellNetAnalyzer and COBRA) for constraint-based analysis of stoichiometric network reconstructions.

The tropical Pacific is the largest oceanic source of carbon dioxide (CO) emissions, where persistent marine heatwaves (MHWs) frequently occur. During persistent MHW events which are associated with strong El Niño events, CO outgassing is notably reduced, however, its detailed spatiotemporal response to MHWs has not been fully characterized. In this study, we showed a high degree of consistency between CO source regions in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and the occurrence regions with average annual MHW days exceeding 45 days (co-occurring area covers 80% of the area where MHWs occur).

Objective: The safety of highway tunnels hinges heavily on proper lighting infrastructure, yet luminaire failures pose an ongoing challenge. The study aims at assessing the impact of the locations of luminaire failures on highway tunnels safety.
Methods: The research involved conducting 300 on-site scenarios with 29 participants, with simulated drives in visual recognition experiments.

Background: Dialysis recovery time (DRT) refers to the period during which fatigue and weakness subside following hemodialysis treatment, allowing patients to resume their daily routines. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing DRT in hemodialysis patients in Turkey and Portugal, where the prevalence of chronic kidney disease is notably high.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a private dialysis center in Turkey and three dialysis centers in Portugal.

Specific yield (S) is an essential hydrogeological parameter in groundwater-related modeling and estimation. In this study, we proposed several new analytical expressions of S to characterize the nonlinear variations of S under shallow groundwater environments, encompassing S for three-layered soil, transition zone S, and flux-dependent S (in Boussinesq-type equation). The proposed S expression for three-layered soils expanded the applicability of previous expressions for homogeneous soil.

In flow-through reactors, the photodegradation rate can be improved by enhancing contact and increasing the photocatalyst loading. Both can be attained with a higher surface-to-volume ratio. While previous studies focused on thin membranes (30 - 130 µm) with small pore sizes of 20 - 650 nm, this work employed poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) supports, of which pore sizes are in the order of 10 µm, while the porosities and thicknesses are variable (22.
