    on yield: “Simply by altering this angle, efficiency can be increased.” A better understanding of these mechanisms could help improve crop planting practices, for example, in the context of climate change, when vegetation, cloud cover, or plant locations shift. Rötzer also sees potential here: “Findings from basic research thus provide an important foundation for specifically adapting crops to new environmental conditions, increasing their efficiency, and improving their ...

    Excavations in Israel shed new light on the Bronze Age
    23.11.2018
    Jerusalem. What makes Tel Lachisch so special? Felix Höflmayer: Tel Lachisch, which is located about 40 km south-west of Jerusalem, is one of the most important sites in Israel, and was inhabited throughout the Bronze and Iron Ages.

The point is to clarify together what should happen with these audio tracks. Whether it is ethically and legally justifiable to make the recordings public – and if so, for whom and how. In the Phonogrammarchiv we try to reconstruct the recording conditions as well as to locate the descendants of ...

    epigenetic factors," said OeAW researcher Stefan Kubicek, "so we were all the more surprised that the best hit was MTHFD1." This enzyme is involved in folate metabolism, a process that had not previously been connected to BRD4. In addition, MTHFD1 is located predominantly in the cytoplasm, while BRD4 resides in the nucleus. However, subsequent experiments showed that the small portion of the MTHFD1 protein found in the nucleus interacts with BRD4. This interaction recruits ...

    A deeper understanding of how drugs interact

    based on a mathematical model that considers their high-dimensional effects. Their research reveals that the position of targets of a given drug on the interactome is not random but rather localized within so-called drug modules. They found that the location of a drug module is linked to the specific cell morphological changes induced by the respective treatments, making morphology screens a valuable resource for the investigation of drug interactions. Further they ...
