Summary: This study discusses the estimates of transverse single-spin asymmetry in prompt photon production in the scattering of low virtuality photons off a polarized proton target, and the possibility of using this as a probe to obtain information about the gluon Sivers function (GSF). Using a generalized parton model (GPM) framework, it was found that the dominant contribution comes from quark Sivers function (QSF), but the situation changes significantly when considering the effects of initial and final state interactions through the color-gauge invariant generalized parton model approach.

Summary: Metallo-supramolecular polymers have gained attention and development in the field of soft materials due to their well-defined topologies and dynamic metallosupramolecular interactions. These stimuli-responsive supramolecular structures have potential applications in optoelectronic device fabrication, but challenges remain in developing systems with offbeat applications and achieving precise control. Controlling the morphology of these soft materials also presents challenges. This review discusses recent developments and future directions, including synthetic methodologies and programmed synthesis techniques, for constructing stimuli-responsive metallosupramolecular systems.

Summary: Buckwheat, an underutilized crop of North Western Himalayas, is a source of essential nutrients and therapeutics. Efforts towards improving Buckwheat for nutrition and yield are limited due to the lack of available resources. Establishing an integrated breeding and OMICS platform, combined with the availability of genome sequences, can pave the way for understanding crop biology and developing high yielding nutrient-rich cultivars.

Summary: The rise in cancer incidence and treatment deficiencies have made cancer the second-leading cause of death globally. This has resulted from various factors, including treatment-related side effects, drug resistance, inadequate curative treatment, and tumor relapse. Anti-cancer bioactive peptides (ACPs) are being explored as a potential therapeutic choice due to their high penetration, specificity, and fewer side effects. This review provides an overview of the literature on the conformational structures, modes of action, and membrane interaction mechanisms of ACPs, as well as their successful employment as targeting ligands in cancer treatment. The use of ACPs as a diagnostic tool and their advantages in these applications are discussed, along with approaches for peptide synthesis, reconstruction, and modification. Computational approaches for predicting therapeutic efficacy and suggesting ACP candidates for experimental studies are also highlighted.

Summary: Modern humans are exposed to various radiations daily, and the brain is the most sensitive organ to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure. However, there are still many unknown factors in related studies, including the effects of different parameters and irradiation time. This review analyzes and interprets recent studies on the effects of microwave radiation on learning and memory capabilities in the brain, as well as the mechanisms of brain dysfunction caused by exposure, providing prospective views for future research in developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for brain degeneration caused by microwave radiation.

Summary: Over 500,000 people died from esophageal cancer (EC) in 2020, with the two main subtypes being ESCC and EAC. Recent advancements in genomics and microbiome studies, as well as the establishment of research infrastructure in high-risk regions, have improved our understanding of the causes and risk factors of these diseases in different regions. Studies on chemoprevention methods and early detection techniques have shown promising results, but there are still challenges that need to be addressed in future research.

Summary: This article presents a formal geometric framework for studying adiabatic quantum mechanics involving non-degenerate Hamiltonians in arbitrary finite-dimensional spaces. By examining the space of non-degenerate operators and the energy bands of Hamiltonian families, as well as the eigenrays forming a bundle, a generalized geometric phase is obtained. This framework also incorporates the non-geometric dynamical phase and can be recast as a principal bundle to simultaneously handle geometric phases and permutations of eigenstates.

Summary: This paper extends a previous GTMD model to improve the description of diffractive dijet production and includes exclusive coherent diffractive J/psi production data. The results show considerable tension between the data for these two types of processes concerning the t dependence within the context and assumptions of the gluon GTMD model. Data from EIC for photo- and electroproduction of protons and nuclei, as well as UPC data from LHC and RHIC, can help establish whether a common GTMD description is possible and provide predictions for the various experiments beyond the description in terms of GPDs.

Summary: The article studies gluon transverse momentum distributions in electron-proton collisions. By including TMD evolution, the authors improve on previous studies of the cos 20 azimuthal asymmetry. They find that in the TMD regime, the asymmetry grows monotonically with increasing transverse momentum of the outgoing J/iy, contrary to tree level calculations. The predictions for the asymmetry at the EIC can be very large, exceeding the positivity bound.

Summary: In this paper, we study the TMD evolution of three leading twist dipole type T-odd gluon TMDs inside a transversely polarized nucleon, which originate from the spin dependent odderon. We suggest studying their evolution through azimuthal asymmetries in virtual photon-jet production in polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC.

Summary: In this paper, a small-x model for gluon GTMDs is considered and fitted to data on diffractive dijet production in electron-proton collisions from HERA's H1 Collaboration. Predictions for the EIC for both electroproduction and photoproduction are obtained using this model. The impact parameter dependence and implications for the model's applicability range are discussed, highlighting subtle issues related to localization of states and choice of frames.
