Summary: In this work, we measured the excitation spectrum of strongly interacting ultracold Fermi gases using Bragg spectroscopy. The study revealed the smooth transformation from a bosonic to a fermionic superfluid in the BEC-BCS crossover. The results are in excellent agreement with previous experiments and calculations, especially when particle-hole correlations are taken into account.

Summary: This study investigates the interactions of anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and nonionic triton X-100 (TX-100) surfactants with lysozyme at pH = 2.4. The effects of the surfactants in combination with 2,2,2-trifluoroetanol (TFE) and urea on lysozyme are analyzed using UV-visible, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopies. The thermodynamic parameters show the destabilizing effect of SDS, stabilizing effect of CTAB, and negligible destabilizing impact of TX-100 on lysozyme at lower surfactant concentrations.

Summary: The formation and evolution of corrosion scales on the surface of super 13Cr stainless steel in a formate completion fluid with the presence of various aggressive substances were investigated. It was found that the surface was covered with Fe3O4 and scattered FeS. The ingress of CO2 promoted anodic dissolution and increased the corrosion rate.

Summary: This paper investigates the interaction between therapeutic drug Azithromycin (Azith) and hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) using spectroscopic and computational methods. The results indicate that Azith and HEWL interact through static quenching mechanism and hydrophobic interactions. The study also reveals that the binding of Azith with HEWL leads to changes in the secondary structure of HEWL.

Summary: The experimental investigation between rutin trihydrate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) studied the interactions between the flavonoid and surfactant through thermodynamic, acoustic, and H-1 NMR analysis. The results showed that the addition of surfactant increased the diffusion properties of rutin trihydrate, with the acoustic studies highlighting the presence of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions within the system. The intermolecular interactions between SDS and rutin trihydrate were also confirmed through chemical shifts observed in H-1 NMR spectra in DMSO d(6).

Summary: In this study, the binding of voglibose (VOG) with CT-DNA was investigated using various spectroscopic techniques. The results showed that the binding process is spontaneous and driven by hydrophobic and H-bonding interactions. Competitive displacement assays suggested that VOG binds on the surface of CT-DNA, which was further supported by viscosity measurements. Molecular simulation studies also confirmed the surface binding of VOG on DNA through hydrophobic interactions and H-bonding.

Summary: In this study, an aromatic N-acylhydrazone compound called N'-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-methylbenzohydrazide (HMB) was designed as a potential active molecule. The interaction between HMB and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using various techniques. The results showed that HMB had moderate affinity with BSA and could be effectively bound and delivered by albumins. Molecular modeling provided detailed conformational information of the BSA-HMB complex, which could be utilized for the design of targeted drugs.

Summary: This study investigated the stability and performance of electrochemical biosensors with mixed SAMs of thiolated nucleic acids and short mercapto alcohols on gold surfaces under repeated electrochemical interrogation. The results showed that signal fidelity is closely related to the stability of the SAM layer and nucleic acid structure, and a decrease in packing density and structural changes of nucleic acids significantly influence the signal change observed with EIS. Rigorous control experiments are necessary to ensure that the measured change in impedance is unequivocally a result of a specific interaction between the target analyte and nucleic recognition element.

Summary: The stress intensity factor (SIF) of opposite surface cracks in an un-notched round bar under tension and combined load conditions was determined using a numerical method. The influence of loading modes on SIF was investigated, considering different crack depth ratios and crack aspect ratios. It was found that the SIF distribution changed as the crack depth ratio increased under pure tensile loading, and nonuniform and asymmetric SIF spread was observed when torque was applied. The effect of mode-II and mode-III fractures was more pronounced under combined loading.

Summary: Natural fibre-based nanocomposite is a revolutionary material with excellent strength-to-weight ratio and lightweight, widely used in construction and dynamic industries. This study investigated the effects of silicon nanoparticles on the moisture absorption, mechanical properties, flammability, and dynamic mechanical behavior of PP/jute fibre composites. The results showed that increasing the weight of SiO2 nanoparticles improved the modulus of elasticity, tension strength, and elongation at breakage of the composites. The addition of SiO2 nanoparticles also enhanced the fire characteristics and dynamic mechanical behavior. However, the dispersion of SiO2 nanoparticles in the composites needs to be improved.

Summary: This study collected the sequences of 128 tyrosinase inhibitory peptides and analyzed their hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity properties and amino acid profiles. Molecular docking analysis was used to investigate the binding interactions between peptides and tyrosinase. The study found that hydrophobic and/or polar neutral properties facilitate or stabilize peptide binding with tyrosinase, and short peptides with cysteine and tyrosine tend to bind to the active site of tyrosinase. These findings provide detailed explanations for the relationship between peptide/amino acid structures and tyrosinase inhibition, as well as potential anti-melanogenesis mechanisms for peptide-based treatments against skin hyperpigmentation.

Summary: In this study, it was demonstrated for the first time that FAT1 inhibited AML proliferation by reducing autophagy level. FAT1 achieved this by decreasing the expression of ATG4B, which is related to autophagy. Mechanistically, FAT1 decreased the levels of phosphorylated and intranuclear smad2/3, thus decreasing the activity of the ATG4B gene promoter. It was also found that FAT1 competitively bound to TGF-beta R II, leading to reduced phosphorylation of TGF-beta R I and smad2/3. Knockdown of FAT1 promoted AML autophagy and proliferation in vivo.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD) on the behavior, energy metabolism, and oxidative stress markers in the cerebral cortex of mice. The results showed that HFFD stimulated locomotion and defecation, while an AKG-supplemented diet had a tendency to promote anxiety-like behavior. Additionally, there were significant differences in glutathione-dependent detoxification and processes related to autophagy between the two diets.
