Chlorophyll a fluorescence measured in vivo is frequently used to study the role of different processes influencing the distribution of excitation energy in PSII complexes. Such studies are important for understanding the regulation of photosynthetic electron transport. However, at the present time, there is no unified methodology to analyse the energy partitioning in PSII. In this article, we critically assess several approaches recently developed in this area of research and propose new simple equations, which can be used for de-convolution of non-photochemical energy quenching in PSII complexes.

Comparative Computational Study of Frequency Shifts and Infrared Intensity Changes in Model Binary Complexes with Red- and Blue-Shifting Hydrogen Bonds.
Molecules

Department of Biological and Chemical Sciences, The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Wanstead P.O. Box 64, Barbados.
A computational study of X-H···Y binary hydrogen-bonded complexes was undertaken to examine the red- and blue-shifting behavior of three model X-H proton donors interacting with a series of Lewis bases: Y = NH, NCLi, NCH, NCF, CH, BF, CO, N and Ne. Two of these proton donors, FArH and FCH, have blue-shifting tendencies, while the third, FH, has red-shifting tendencies. A perturbation theory model for frequency shifts that was derived many years ago was employed to partition the predicted frequency shift into the sum of two components, one dependent on the second derivative of the interaction energy with respect to X-H displacement and the other dependent on the X-H bond length change in the binary complex.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the pyrolysis behaviors of rice husk (RH) and rice straw (RS) using various scientific techniques, revealing distinct stages of pyrolysis for each organic material.
- The activation energies for the different components (pseudo-hemicellulose, pseudo-cellulose, and pseudo-lignin) were calculated, showing varying levels of energy requirement between RH and RS.
- RS demonstrated better pyrolysis performance and produced a greater variety of valuable by-products compared to RH, indicating potential for utilization in agriculture, bioenergy, and chemical sectors.
Unsupervised clustering of intraventricular hemodynamic forces for the phenotyping of left-ventricular function in non-ischemic left ventricular cardiomyopathy.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is essential for diagnosing cardiomyopathy, serving as the gold standard for assessing heart chamber volumes and tissue characterization. Hemodynamic forces (HDF) analysis, a novel approach using standard cine CMR images, estimates energy exchange between the left ventricular (LV) wall and blood. While prior research has focused on peak or mean longitudinal HDF values, this study aims to investigate whether unsupervised clustering of HDF curves can identify clinically significant patterns and stratify cardiovascular risk in non-ischemic LV cardiomyopathy (NILVC).

This study aims to elucidate the potential genetic commonalities between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and rheumatic diseases through a disease interactome network, according to publicly available large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The analysis included linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis, cross trait meta-analysis and colocalisation analysis to identify common genetic overlap. Using modular partitioning, the network-based association between the two disease proteins in the protein-protein interaction set was divided and quantified.

The aim of our study was to assess the effects of low or high-starch diets with or without palmitic acid (C16:0) supplementation on the yield of milk, milk components, and energy partitioning of primiparous and multiparous dairy cows between mid and late-lactation. Thirty-two Holstein cows, 12 primiparous ([mean ± SD] 163 ± 33 d in milk) and 20 multiparous ([mean ± SD] 179 ± 37 d in milk), were used in a split-plot Latin square design. Parity was considered the main plot, and within each plot, treatments were then randomly assigned in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square with 21 d periods and balanced for carryover effects.
