Interaction Dynamics of Borrelia Surface Proteins with Fibronectin
Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is a significant public health concern in North America, with approximately 500,000 cases reported annually in the United States. The dissemination of B. burgdorferi from the initial tick bite site to various tissues is facilitated by surface adhesins that bind to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as fibronectin (Fn). This study investigates the binding dynamics of B. burgdorferi surface proteins RevA, BBK32, BmpA, OspA, and Osp…

Oh, the oil tanker that the US seized near Venezuela appears to be one of Russia's "Shadow" fleet.
That fleet seems to be a major source of revenue for Russia, so seizing it may tick off one of the asses that El Cheato likes to kiss.

RIP to this #SolyTech power supply in one of my old #TigerDirect #Systemax clunkers. It just failed spectacularly with a tick-tick-tick, a large burst of yellow sparks, a loud buzz, and acrid ozoney smoke.…

Multivariate Quadratic Hawkes Processes -- Part II: Non-Parametric Empirical Calibration
This is the second part of our work on Multivariate Quadratic Hawkes (MQHawkes) Processes, devoted to the calibration of the model defined and studied analytically in Aubrun, C., Benzaquen, M., & Bouchaud, J. P., Quantitative Finance, 23(5), 741-758 (2023). We propose a non-parametric calibration method based on the general method of moments applied to a coarse-grained version of the MQHawkes model. This allows us to bypass challenges inherent to tick by tick data. Our main methodological innov…
