Background: the KCNJ16 gene has been associated with a novel kidney tubulopathy phenotype, viz. disturbed acid-base homeostasis, hypokalemia and altered renal salt transport. KCNJ16 encodes for Kir5.1, which together with ...

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial infection of the female reproductive tract (FRT). BV is characterized by replacement of health-associated Lactobacillus species by diverse anaerobic bacteria, including the ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a leading mortality factor worldwide. Here we report the discovery of clovibactin, a new antibiotic, isolated from uncultured soil bacteria. Clovibactin efficiently kills drug-resistant bacterial ...

The formation of a stable complex between proteins lies at the core of a wide variety of biological processes and has been the focus of countless experiments. The huge amount of information contained in the protein structural ...

We study a variant of the searching problem where the environment consists of a known terrain and the goal is to obtain visibility of an unknown target point on the surface of the terrain. The searcher starts on the surface ...

Objective: Statistical Learning (SL) is an essential mechanism for speech segmentation. Importantly, individual differences in SL ability are associated with language acquisition. For instance, better SL correlated with a ...

Remote astronomical telescopes without access to the national electricity grid rely mostly on fossil fuels. Climate change concerns and fuel price vulnerability drive the transition to renewable energy sources. Astronomical ...

In this paper we rigorously construct a finite volume representation for the height-one field of the Abelian sandpile model and the degree field of the uniform spanning tree in terms of the fermionic Gaussian free field. ...

The protection of sensitive data becomes more vital, as data increases in value and potency. Furthermore, the pressure increases from regulators and society on model developers to make their Artificial Intelligence (AI) ...

We revisit Ito's \cite{I1989} natural extension of the Farey tent map, which generates all regular continued fraction convergents and mediants of a given irrational. With a slight shift in perspective on the order in which ...
