We report the discovery that V2331 Cygni is not an L star but an eclipsing variable with deep minima, and present a determination of the elements of the star: Epoch = HJD 2456184.296 ±0.001 and Period = 1.3886 ± 0.0001 days.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and HER2 are associated with cancer although the role of HER2 in T2DM is not well defined. Our aim was to investigate the association between HER2 levels and T2DM and whether that association was different in Swedish people born in Iraq or Sweden.

Background: Patch testing has been used for more than 100 years as the best means to diagnose contact allergy. The increased use of the technique makes standardization of the methodology most important. Progress in the standardization of the patch test technique has been made through guidelines. Objectives: To investigate the intra-individual and inter-individual differences in reading of patch

The electronic structure of superheavy elements (Z ≥ 104) and their chemical properties are dominated by relativistic effects. Recently two superheavy elements were recognized by the IUPAC and named flerovium (Fl, Z = 114) and livermorium (Lv, Z = 116). Fl is the heaviest element with which chemical experiments were performed. Here, we report on experiments that help answering the long-standing qu

Polycomb ring finger oncogene BMI1 (B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1) plays a critical role in development of several types of cancers. Here, we report an inverse relationship between levels of BMI1 expression and adenovirus (Ad) progeny production. Enforced BMI1 expression in A549 cells impaired Ad progeny production. In contrast, knocking-down of endogenous BMI1 e

Ball rolling in dung beetles is thought to have evolved as a means to escape intense inter- and intra-specific competition at the dung pile. Accordingly, dung beetles typically roll along a straight-line path away from the pile, this being the most effective escape strategy for transporting dung to a suitable burial site. In this study, we investigate how individual diurnal dung beetles, Scarabaeu

SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein is crucial for virus invasion in COVID-19. Here, we showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can trigger S protein aggregation at high doses of LPS and S protein. We demonstrated the formation of S protein aggregates by microscopy analyses, aggregation and gel shift assays. LPS at high levels boosts the formation of S protein aggregates as detected by amytracker and thiofl

The C programming language, while offering high performance and low-level control, is memory-unsafe. This makes it prone to programming errors that can result in serious software vulnerabilities and system instability. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of transitioning a large code base from C to a memory-safe alternative, specifically Rust, in the context of a large company in telecom

Amid growing geopolitical tensions and the shift toward a multipolar world, research security has emerged as a critical concern for academic institutions and national governments. While efforts to protect science from foreign interference and intellectual property theft are increasing, many current measures lack empirical grounding, clear objectives, or proven effectiveness. This paper discusses t

The process of selecting the right set of requirements for a product release is highly dependent on how well we succeed in prioritising the requirements candidates. There are different techniques available for requirements prioritisation, some more elaborate than others. In order to compare different techniques, a controlled experiment was conducted with the objective of understanding differences

The expansive usage of social media in organisations in recent years has increased research in the field. Due to the nature of social media as a research topic that is studied in diverse contexts, there is an urge for an enacted contemporary literature review to frame the scope of social media in this context. Nowadays social media is on the agenda of many organisations. Many CEOs in their effort
