Modification of natural enzymes to introduce new properties and enhance existing ones is a central challenge in bioengineering. This study is focused on the development of Taq polymerase mutants that ...

Abstract: Optimal power flow (OPF) plays a crucial role in addressing asymmetric operational problems of bipolar direct current distribution networks (DCDNs). However, the effectiveness of existing ...

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it has a global pandemic, leading to an unprecedented setback for global public health and economy (Hu et al., 2021). Nowadays, with the ...

Decision-making is often interpreted in terms of normative computations that maximize a particular reward function for stable, average behaviors. Aberrations from the reward-maximizing solutions, ...

Encoding precision in visual working memory decreases with the number of encoded items. Here, we propose a normative theory for such set size effects: the brain minimizes a weighted sum of an ...

Proteins are intrinsically dynamic molecules that can exchange between multiple conformational states, enabling them to carry out complex molecular processes with extreme precision and efficiency.

For many years, the development of adjuvants—compounds that boost the immunogenicity of vaccines—has been an empirical process. Adjuvants inducing a strong humoral immunity are available, but ...

Abstract: Numerical aspects are of central importance in identification and control. Many computations in these fields involve approximations using polynomial or rational functions that are obtained ...
