A BASIC computer program for the calculation of urinary supersaturation with respect to the common kidney stone components is described. In vitro and in vivo tests show that the program described accurately calculates supersaturation. The application of this computer program to urolithiasis research is discussed.

Background: Millions worldwide are exposed to elevated levels of arsenic that significantly increase their risk of developing atherosclerosis, a pathology primarily driven by immune cells. While the impact of arsenic on immune cell populations in atherosclerotic plaques has been broadly characterized, cellular heterogeneity is a substantial barrier to in-depth examinations of the cellular dynamics for varying immune cell populations.

Objectives: This study aimed to conduct single-cell multi-omics profiling of atherosclerotic plaques in apolipoprotein E knockout () mice to elucidate transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in immune cells induced by arsenic exposure.

Meteoritic impacts on planetary surfaces deliver a significant amount of energy that can produce prebiotic organic compounds such as cyanides, which may be a key step to the formation of biomolecules. To study the chemical processes of impact-induced organic synthesis, we simulated the physicochemical processes of hypervelocity impacts (HVI) in experiments with both high-speed C projectiles and laser ablation. In the first approach, a C beam was accelerated to collide with ammonium nitrate (NHNO) to reproduce the shock process and plume generation of meteoritic impacts on nitrogen-rich planetary surfaces.

SARAh - web representational analysis.

Acta Crystallogr B Struct Sci Cryst Eng Mater

February 2025

Department of Chemistry, University College London (UCL), 20 Gordon Street, London, WC1H 0AJ, England.

The online software server SARAh-webRepresentational Analysis is introduced. It replaces the previous Windows-versions of SARAh-Representational analysis and SARAh-Refine, and related theory. The new suite of web apps carries out a range representational analysis calculations, including those based on the works of Kovalev, Bertaut, Izyumov, Bradley, Cracknell, Birman and Landau, for magnetic structures and electronic properties within frameworks based on the crystallographic space groups and point groups.

Antarctic krill vertical migrations modulate seasonal carbon export.

Science

January 2025

Australian Antarctic Program Partnership, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, nipaluna/Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

Vertical migrations by marine organisms contribute to carbon export by consumption of surface phytoplankton followed by defecation in the deep ocean. However, biogeochemical models lack observational data, leading to oversimplified representation of carbon cycling by migrating organisms, such as Antarctic krill (). Using a numerical model informed by 1 year of acoustic observations in the East Antarctic, we estimated the total particulate organic carbon (POC) flux from krill fecal pellets to be 9.
