We employ a generalization of Einstein’s random walk paradigm for diffusion to derive a class of multidimensional degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations in non-divergence form. Specifically, in these equations, the...

We investigate the polymeric adsorption of formic acid (HCOOH) on the Cu(111) surface by means of density functional theory. We present structural models for the polymeric form of HCOOH on Cu(111) and characterize their stability, electronic, and vibrational properties. Based on the energetics and dynamics, as well as simulated scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy images, we propose that the α polymorph is likely to be formed on the Cu(111) surface and can explain the experimental findings. We also study the initial step of the catalytic dehydrogenation of HCOOH and find that the O-H bond dissociation at the edge of the polymer is facilitated, rather than that forming hydrogen bonding, agreeing well with the experiments.

Many factors affect students’ mathematics achievement. In addition to cognitive factors, many studies also highlight and show that non-cognitive factors of students and school resources become important factors in influencing students’ mathematical achievement. This study analyzed the relationship between students’ non-cognitive factors and school resources to mathematics achievement. The data were taken from 9,620 of the 338 schools in Indonesia involved in participating in the 2018 program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The results of the multilevel analysis found that the students’ happy feelings, the students’ cooperation and the students’ belief were a statistically significant relationship to mathematics achievement with all positive relationships. The low quality of educational materials and teaching staff in schools were statistically significant and negatively correlated with mathematics achievement. This study showed that the non-cognitive factors and low quality of teaching staff had an important role for students in achieving mathematics.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a crucial technology for gaining insights into cognitive processes in humans. Data amassed from fMRI measurements result in volumetric data sets that vary over time. How...

Bromelain is a glycoprotein that contains a single carbohydrate moiety group and displays proteolytic activity. Bromelain has long been known to act as an immunomodulator; however, the immunomodulatory activity of its carbohydrate moiety has been very rarely studied and is not well understood. This study aimed to predict the immunomodulatory activity of the carbohydrate moiety of bromelain (CMB) by evaluating it using the PASS server, and the binding affinities between CMB and various pro-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed using a molecular docking approach. This research was conducted by docking the CMB ligand to the following receptor proteins: interleukin-6 (IL-6), IκBβ/nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 homodimer complex (IκBα/NF-κB p65), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and IL-1β. The biological potential of CMB was predicted using the online PASS server. The results of the computational analysis indicated that the highest binding energy was identified between CMB and IκBβ/NF-κB p65 (−10.3 kcal/mol), followed by TNF-α (−9.7 kcal/mol), and IL-6 and IL-1β, with values of −8.2 kcal/mol for both. The CMB activity predicted by the Way2Drug PASS server indicated that this molecule is likely to display significant immunostimulant activity. These findings suggested that CMB can be considered a potential lead molecule for further drug development to identify agent that can prevent or cure inflammation and restore balance to the immune system. However, the predictions determined in this study remain to be validated in future in vitro and in vivo studies.
