1. Teaching transposon classification as a means to crowd source the curation of repeat annotation – a tardigrade perspective 

   Peona V.; Martelossi J.; Almojil D.; et al. (2024)

   Mobile DNA

   Background: The advancement of sequencing technologies results in the rapid release of hundreds of new genome assemblies a year providing unprecedented resources for the study of genome evolution. Within this context, the significance of in-depth analyses of repetitive elements, transposable elements (TEs) in particular, is increasingly recognized in understanding genome evolution. Despite the plethora of available bioinformatic tools for ...

   Herein, we have shown that the particle size, cation redistribution, interparticle interactions, surface spin disorder and strain induced anisotropy play a pivotal role in shaping the magnetic and hyperfine properties of nanosized Co0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 samples prepared by coprecipitation method followed by high energy ball milling and subsequent thermal treatment. Three samples with different particle size viz., 23 nm (CZ1), 34 nm (CZ2) and 42 ...

3. Effects of emissions caps on the costs and feasibility of low-carbon hydrogen in the European ammonia industry 

   Mingolla S.; Gabrielli P.; Manzotti A.; et al. (2024)

   Nature Communications

   The European ammonia industry emits 36 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, primarily from steam methane reforming (SMR) hydrogen production. These emissions can be mitigated by producing hydrogen via water electrolysis using dedicated renewables with grid backup. This study investigates the impact of decarbonization targets for hydrogen synthesis on the economic viability and technical feasibility of retrofitting existing European ...

4. Sync fast and solve things—best practices for responsible digital health 

   Landers C.; Blasimme A.; Vayena E. (2024)

   npj Digital Medicine

   Digital health innovation is expected to transform healthcare, but it also generates ethical and societal concerns, such as privacy risks, and biases that can compound existing health inequalities. While such concerns are widely recognized, existing regulatory principles, oversight methods and ethical frameworks seem out of sync with digital health innovation. New governance and innovation best practices are thus needed to bring such ...

5. Future-proof rates for controlled electric vehicle charging: Comparing multi-year impacts of different emission factor signals 

   Powell S.; Martin S.; Rajagopal R.; et al. (2024)

   Energy Policy

   Electricity pricing can be used to shift the timing of electricity demand, but the choice of price signals is highly constrained. Consumer rates are updated every few years and limited to simple daily profiles, yet must capture the complex dynamics of a changing electricity system. Emission factors (EFs) were developed as an evaluation tool, but are increasingly used as demand response (DR) signals. Given these constraints, can they be ...
