Summary: The study finds that historical emissions of long-lived gases remain significant for future contributions to climate change, especially in strong mitigation scenarios. Interestingly, future emissions have surprisingly little variation in regional contributions to global mean surface temperature. However, the characteristics of integrated assessment models (IAMs) play a more important role in calculating future historical contributions than variations across shared socioeconomic pathways or forcing targets.

Summary: Immersed boundary methods (IBMs) are computational techniques that solve flow problems in complex geometric configurations using Cartesian structured meshes. Despite their implementation in the 1970s, IBMs gained credibility only in the new millennium. These methods have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of the most suitable IBM implementation depends on careful analysis of each problem. High-Reynolds number flows pose a limitation to IBMs due to the resolution of thin wall shear layers, but researchers have developed strategies to alleviate this weakness.

Summary: Since their first observation in water waves, solitons have been a fascinating research subject and have found numerous applications. Optical solitons, in particular, have made significant progress since their theoretical predictions in optical fiber in 1973. This review focuses on the progress in an important class of optical solitons called Bragg solitons, including the history, theoretical advancements, and experimental achievements. The recent developments in integrated photonics and their design advantages are highlighted, particularly in realizing Bragg soliton dynamics on a chip and their optical processing functions. The discussion and future outlook present the potential impact of Bragg solitons in photonics and future applications.

Summary: Communication through serotonin mainly occurs in the extracellular space and cerebrospinal fluid, with disturbances in receptor-receptor interactions potentially contributing to major depression. Oxytocin receptors play a significant role in modulating social and cognitive behaviors, and their dysfunction may lead to psychiatric diseases like depression. Targeting 5-HTR heterocomplexes could be a novel approach for treating major depression.

Summary: Roads are a crucial part of societal infrastructure, impacting economic growth, social dynamics, and environmental sustainability. This study analyzed the historical changes and projected future scenarios of Japan's road network, highlighting the material stock and its growth over time. The results showed that Japan's total road material stock increased 5.5-fold over 55 years, with aggregate being the dominant material. The forecast revealed varying trends in road material stock across different prefectures, with some showing notable downward trends. This comprehensive approach provides valuable insights for resource allocation and policy formulation in road infrastructure management.

Summary: The discovery of 5-methylcytosine in bacteria in 1925 led to a gradual understanding of the biological importance of DNA methylation. While key factors that establish, maintain, and remove DNA methylation are now known, the precise role and interpretation of DNA methylation patterns are still under investigation. The availability of base-resolution methylation maps has greatly enhanced our knowledge in this field.

Summary: Floral scent is essential for plant reproduction, and humans have long been fascinated by it, utilizing floral scent products for various purposes. However, the scientific study of floral scent synthesis started later than other plant metabolites, with the first report of an enzyme responsible for the synthesis of a floral scent compound appearing in 1994. Since then, numerous enzymes and genes involved in the synthesis of hundreds of scent compounds from various plant species have been discovered. This review summarizes the history and major findings related to floral scent biosynthesis and emission, including the evolution of genes and enzymes, storage and emission of scent volatiles, and regulation of biochemical processes.

Summary: The demand for accurate retention time prediction in liquid chromatography has led to the adoption of experimental protocols and software by analysts. Classical approaches for retention time prediction, both inverse and direct methods, are discussed, with a focus on the need for increased accuracy in the future. Statistical methods and quality by design methods based on solid-liquid adsorption and gradient chromatography principles are identified as key elements to improve accuracy in retention time prediction.
