Fcn.m from Dynamics and locomotion of flexible foils in a frictional environment. by Xiaolin Wang (303612)

“…When the foil is oscillated by heaving at one end but is not free to locomote, the dynamics change from periodic to non-periodic and chaotic as the heaving amplitude increases or the bending rigidity decreases. For friction coefficients lying in a certain range, the transition passes through a sequence of <i>N</i>-periodic and asymmetric states before reaching chaotic dynamics. …”

Reversible Bitemporal Hemihypokinetic Pupil Without Hemianopia: A New Chiasmal Sign by Jorge Alberto Martins Pentiado Junior (12602937)

“…In some patients, especially in those who have undergone neurosurgical procedures, visual field examination and neuroimaging may not completely reflect the classical pattern of chiasmal visual loss. We describe a novel semiological sign, reporting a patient in which a pupillary bitemporal hemihypokinesia was not accompanied by hemianopia, with the phenomenon being abolished by surgical resection of the causative pituitary macroadenoma. …”

Discovery of a Potent Class I Protein Arginine Methyltransferase Fragment Inhibitor by Renato Ferreira de Freitas (1399675)

“…Here, by deconstructing potent PRMT inhibitors, we find that chemical moieties occupying the substrate arginine-binding site can act as efficient fragment inhibitors. Screening a fragment library against PRMT6 produced numerous hits, including a 300 nM inhibitor (ligand efficiency of 0.56) that decreased global histone 3 arginine 2 methylation in cells, and can serve as a warhead for the development of PRMT chemical probes.…”
