A Genetic and Pharmacological Analysis of Isoprenoid Pathway by LC-MS/MS in Fission Yeast by Tomonori Takami (124563)

“…Notably, in wild-type cells miconazole and terbinafine only slightly decreased ergosterol level. Altogether, these studies suggest that the pleiotropic phenotypes caused by the <em>hmg1-1</em> mutation and pravastatin might be due to decreased levels of isoprenoid pyrophosphates or other isoprenoid pathway intermediate products rather than due to a decreased ergosterol level.…”

Factors associated with postoperative signs and symptoms in teeth with periapical lesion: a longitudinal study by Erlange Andrade Borges Silva (14224193)

“…Female gender (beta = 1.02; p < 0.01), mandibular teeth (beta = 25.50; p < 0.01), medium root canal amplitude (beta = 0.93; p = 0.03), and edema (beta = 1.88; p < 0.01) were associated with increased postoperative pain and tenderness, while the use of analgesics (beta = -1.82; p < 0.01) and time in days (beta = -0.23; p < 0.01) were associated with a decrease in these signs and symptoms. Edema was considered a risk factor for analgesic requirement (Odds Ratio [OR] = 61.46; p < 0.01). …”

Dissipative Self-Assembly of Patchy Particles under Nonequilibrium Drive: A Computational Study by Shubhadeep Nag (18888287)

“…Utilizing extensive Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, we provide insight into the effects of external forces that mirror natural and chemical processes on the assembly rates and the stability of the resulting assemblies comprising 8, 10, and 13 patchy particles. Implemented by a favorable bond-promoting drive in MC or a pulsed square wave potential in MD, our simulations reveal the role these external drives play in accelerating assembly kinetics and enhancing structural stability, evidenced by a decrease in the time to first assembly and an increase in the duration the system remains in an assembled state. …”

Tracing Nitrogen Flows Associated with Beef Supply Chains: A Consumption-Based Assessment by Anaís Ostroski (14009564)

“…Animal feed production is heavily dependent on synthetic fertilizers, and the consumption of beef products, in particular, is associated with high nitrogen footprints. Although there is a rich body of work on nutrient footprints of beef production, there is a gap in understanding the spatial distribution of the nutrient releases throughout the beef supply chain in the U.S. …”
