摘要:Small bodies are capable of delivering essential prerequisites for the development of life, such as volatiles and organics, to the terrestrial planets. For example, empirical evidence suggests that water was delivered to the Earth by hydrated planetesimals from distant regions of the Solar System . Recently, several morphologically inactive near- Earth objects were reported to experience significant nongravitational accelerations inconsistent with radiation-based effects, and possibly explaine...

摘要:Physical neural networks (PNN) using physical materials and devices to mimic synapses and neurons offer an energy- efficient way to implement artificial neural networks. Yet, training PNN is difficult and heavily relies on external computing resources. An emerging concept to solve this issue is called physical self- learning that uses intrinsic physical parameters as trainable weights. Under external inputs (i.e., training data), training is achieved by the natural evolution of physical parame...

摘要:Le Chatelier in 1887 and Powers in 1947 demonstrated that the volume of nanoscale C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) particles formed during hydration is smaller than the combined volume of the reactants-the anhydrous Portland cement and water. Hydration has thus been considered as contractive. An experiment shows that the opposite is true above the nanoscale. The porous skeleton of cement paste expands as the growing C-S-H particles push each other apart, similar to crystal growth pressure. Thi...

摘要:Prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 (DP2) is an important anti- inflammatory and antiallergic drug target. While inactive DP2 structures are known, its activation mechanisms and biased signaling remain unclear. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of an apo DP2-Gi complex, a DP2-Gi complex bound to the endogenous ligand Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), and a DP2-Gi complex bound to indomethacin, an arrestin- biased ligand, at resolutions of 2.5 & Aring;, 2.8 & Aring;, and 2.3 & Aring;, respectively. These struc...

摘要:Inspired by the way that digital artists zoom out of the canvas to assess the visual impact of their works, we introduce a conceptually simple yet effective metric for quantifying the clarity of digital images. This metric contrasts original images with progressively melted counterparts, produced by randomly flipping adjacent pixel pairs. It measures the presence of stable structures, assigning the value zero to completely uniform or random images and finite values for those with discernible p...

摘要:Despite 96 million years of evolution separating humans and rodents, 11 closely related the 13 reproductive tract- specific orthologous genes in mice, form highly conserved syntenic gene clusters indicative of conserved, combined critical functions. Further, despite significant progress toward a nonhormonal male contraceptive targeting the protein encoded by one of these genes, epididymal peptidase inhibitor (EPPIN), and associations found between mutations in EPPIN and an increased risk of ma...

摘要:In Drosophila melanogaster, successful development relies on the precise coordination of both spatial and temporal regulatory axes. The temporal axis governs stage- specific identity and developmental transitions through a number of genes, collectively forming the Metamorphic Gene Network. Among these, Ecdysone inducible protein 93F (E93) serves as the critical determinant for adult specification, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here, we found that, rather than acting mainly as an...
