Long-range correlations have been evidenced in a number of experiments, generally using overlearned and overpracticed tasks. The authors hypothesized that long-range correlation could represent the byproduct of learning. They analyzed the series of periods produced by a group of expert and a group of novices during prolonged trials on a ski simulator. Results showed a very low variability in expert's series, as compared to novices. Fractal analyses showed that fluctuations were significantly more structured and correlated in experts. These results suggest that learning could be conceived as the progressive installation of complexity in the system.

Motivation: The increasing accessibility of large-scale protein sequences through advanced sequencing technologies has necessitated the development of efficient and accurate methods for predicting protein function. Computational prediction models have emerged as a promising solution to expedite the annotation process. However, despite making significant progress in protein research, graph neural networks face challenges in capturing long-range structural correlations and identifying critical residues in protein graphs.

Increased Rate of Unique Mitochondrial DNA Deletion Breakpoints in Young Adults With Early-Life Stress.

Biol Psychiatry Glob Open Sci

March 2025

Initiative on Stress, Trauma, and Resilience, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that mitochondria respond to psychosocial stress. Recent studies suggest mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions may be increased in some psychiatric disorders, but no studies have examined early-life stress (ELS) and mtDNA deletions. In this study, we assessed mtDNA deletions in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of medically healthy young adults with and without ELS.

Spin Chains with Highly Quantum Character through Strong Covalency in CaCrN.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Materials Department, University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California 93106, United States.

The insulating transition metal nitride CaCrN consists of sheets of triangular [CrN] units with symmetry that are connected via quasi-1D zigzag chains. Due to strong covalency between Cr and N, Cr ions are unusually low-spin, and = 1/2. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal dominant quasi-1D spin correlations with very large nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange = 340 K and yet no sign of magnetic order down to = 0.

Heat-stable single-helical structures formed during the extrusion process play a key role in the cooking and texture qualities of rice noodles.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Nanchang University, No. 235 Nanjing East Road, Nanchang 330047, China; International Institute of Food Innovation Co, Ltd, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330200, China. Electronic address:

Extrusion is a critical process in rice noodle production. However, the underlying mechanism by which it influences noodle quality remains inadequately understood. In this study, rice noodles were processed at extrusion temperatures ranging from 100 °C to 140 °C and characterized in terms of molecular structure, short- and long-range order, microstructure, cooking loss, and texture properties.

In response to distinct cellular stresses, the p53 exhibits distinct dynamics. These p53 dynamics subsequently control cell fate. However, different stresses can generate the same p53 dynamics with different cell fate outcomes, suggesting that the integration of dynamic information from other pathways is important for cell fate regulation.
