Dynamic modelling of the iron deficiency modulated transcriptome response in Arabidopsis thaliana roots

In Silico Plants, 1(1).

By: A. Koryachko n, A. Matthiadis n, S. Haque n, D. Muhammad n, J. Ducoste n, J. Tuck n, T. Long n, C. Williams n

author keywords: Arabidopsis thaliana; modelling; ODE; Gene Regulatory Network; plant stress response
TL;DR: A dynamic model of the iron deficiency induced transcriptional response in Arabidopsis thaliana was formulated and trained to approximate the expression behaviour of currently unknown gene regulators, unveil potential synergistic effects between the modulating transcription factors and predict the effect of double regulator mutants.

Fate of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Ether Acids in the Total Oxidizable Precursor Assay and Implications for the Analysis of Impacted Water

Environmental Science & Technology Letters, 6(11), 662–668.

TL;DR: Application of the total oxidizable precursor (TOP) assay in its proposed enhanced form revealed high levels of PFEAs, the presence of precursors that form perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids, and the absence of precursor that form P FEAs in surface water impacted by PFAS-containing wastewater discharges.

Assessing potential anthropogenic drivers of ecological health in Piedmont streams through hierarchical modeling

FRESHWATER SCIENCE, 38(4), 771–789.

author keywords: biological assessment; anthropogenic stressors; watershed development; stream restoration; stream buffers; mixed-effects models; macroinvertebrates
TL;DR: It is found that watershed impervious cover (IC) is the best predictor of biotic index (BI) values, and the model suggests that newer development (post-1980) degrades stream health 30% less than older development. (via Semantic Scholar)

Gradient-based hybrid topology/shape optimization of bioinspired microvascular composites

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER, 144.

By: R. Pejman*, S. Aboubakr n, W. Martin n, U. Devi n, M. Tan*, J. Patrick n, A. Najafi*

author keywords: Hybrid topology/shape optimization; Interface-enriched generalized finite element method; Microvascular composites; Active-cooling; 3D printing
TL;DR: A new feature is presented that enables the optimizer to augment network topology by creating/removing microchannels during the shape optimization process, which has been accomplished by introducing a new set of design parameters, which act analogous to the penalization factor in the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method.
