Summary: The article discusses Husserl's analysis of the genesis of action, clarifying how voluntary actions have their origin in non-voluntary actions and how the latter originates from a passive tendency of the will. Husserl's descriptions of different degrees of voluntariness are used to analyze the full scope of voluntary actions and how they phenomenologically originate from non-voluntary doings.

Summary: Due to the nature of the Earth's layering and conventional seismic wavelength, seismic waves often experience significant anisotropy in many subsurface areas, particularly vertical transverse isotropy (VTI). Inverting to this type of Earth model using waveforms poses challenges such as nonlinearity and parameter tradeoff. The optimal transport of the matching filter (OTMF) has been introduced as a robust misfit function for full-waveform inversion (FWI). Applying a VTI FWI with OTMF misfit on offshore Australian data yields geologically meaningful models and demonstrates the effectiveness of OTMF in mitigating cycle skipping.

Summary: The Shumagin Islands region of the Alaska subduction zone was identified as a seismic gap expected to host a future great earthquake. Recent earthquakes in the region have raised the possibility of increased coupling. Research shows that the coupling level in the region has a significant impact on the type and location of potential earthquakes.

Summary: Idebenone is widely described as an antioxidant drug, but there is a significant discrepancy between its pharmacokinetics and achievable tissue levels in target tissues, casting doubt on our current understanding. A new framework has been proposed based on recent discoveries to explain its mode of action, providing a rational approach for testing its effects in novel indications.

Summary: Forming a stable autonomous vehicle group in an urban scene presents great challenges due to various environmental factors. This work proposes a vehicle group model that takes into account environmental factors and communication quality in an urban scene. It includes a prediction method to analyze the impact of environmental factors on communications, the selection of leader vehicles based on vehicle characteristics, and a vehicle group model formulation based on connectivity and timeliness. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of prediction accuracy and network performance.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the cell and tissue responses of the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata following inoculation with the zoonotic pathogen Mycobacterium marinum. The results showed that the snails exhibited high resilience to the pathogen, with overt histopathological lesions only observed at higher doses.

Summary: With the increasing use of intermittent renewable energy sources in the electric power system, the system operator faces the challenge of maintaining the dynamic and uncertain demand-supply balance. To address this challenge, the operator procures services from balancing service providers, including energy storage system (ESS) aggregators. This study proposes a model for an ESS aggregator that can trade multiple services in ancillary service markets, contributing to maintaining the real-time demand-supply balance.

Summary: This study presents a new synthetic strategy for the cycloaddition reaction between non-polarized internal alkynes and azides to yield trisubstituted triazoles. By designing a cyclitol-derived monomer with azide and internal alkyne groups, the reactive orientation necessary for topochemical reaction was achieved through the crystal packing of the monomer molecules. Upon heating, the monomer underwent topochemical polymerization to form a trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazole-linked-polycyclitol.

Summary: AMPK regulates cellular metabolism by modulating AL phosphorylation and accessibility, with ATP inhibiting its activity when levels are low. Researchers have developed antibodies and analyzed structures to reveal the mechanism by which adenine nucleotides and pharmacological agonists regulate AMPK activity.

Summary: The hypothalamus regulates innate social behaviors. Optogenetic stimulation of specific neuronal subpopulations within MPOA and VMHvl can evoke mating and aggression. Dynamical systems modeling reveals that in VMHvl, neural activity exhibits a dominant dimension with a large time constant, potentially encoding a scalable state of aggressiveness. In contrast, MPOA employs neurons with fast dynamics tuned to specific actions during mating. Thus, different hypothalamic nuclei utilize distinct neural population codes to represent similar social behaviors.

Summary: The study indicates that novel electrified processes for methanol production, such as plasma-assisted and electrically heated thermocatalytic dry methane reforming based processes, have lower greenhouse gas emissions and greater CO2 reduction potential when powered by renewable energy sources. The use of renewable electricity results in lower climate change impacts, with both plasma-assisted and thermocatalytic technologies showing promising results for CO2 abatement.
