Tanglegram of consensus tree exhibiting the similarity between all biogeographic provinces from biogeographic regions and transitions zones (Andean region (AR), South American transition zone (SATZ), Neotropical region (NR), and Mexican transition zone (MTZ)) for all data ('false cosmopolitan' and 'indigenous species', on the left) and only 'indigenous data' (on the right). Each province is connected to itself by a dark grey line. The consensus tree was obtained by resampling (1000×) the row order with the 'recluster' package (Dapporto et al. 2020). Each province is coloured according to their area of origin: provinces from the AR are coloured blue, provinces from the SATZ are coloured light green, provinces from the NR are coloured pink, and provinces from the MTZ are coloured purple. Branches of provinces that appear unrelated to any other are bold and red-coloured. Provinces without any records of 'indigenous species' are not present in the tanglegram. Provinces without any records of tardigrade species were excluded from the clustering analysis.

Exploring the Impact of Physiological C-Terminal Truncation on α-Synuclein Conformations to Unveil Mechanisms Regulating Pathological Aggregation

Emerging evidence suggests that <a name="_Hlk179101300"></a>physiological C-terminal truncation of α-synuclein (αS) plays a critical role in regulating <a name="_Hlk178755669"></a>liquid–liquid phase separation and promoting amyloid aggregation, processes implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the molecular mechanisms through which C-terminal truncation influences αS conformation and modulates its aggregation remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the impact of C-terminal truncation on αS conformational dynamics by comparing full-length αS1-140 with truncated αS1-103 monomers using atomistic discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) simulations. Our findings revealed that both αS1-140 and αS1-103 primarily adopted helical conformations around residues 7–32, while residues 35-95, located in the second half of the N-terminal and NAC domains, predominantly formed a dynamic β-sheet core. The C-terminus of αS1-140 was largely unstructured and dynamically wrapped around the β-sheet core. While residues 1-95 exhibited similar secondary structure propensities in both αS1-140 and αS1-103, the dynamic capping by the C-terminus in αS1-140 slightly enhanced β-sheet formation around residues 35-95. In contrast, key aggregation-driving regions (residues 2-9, 36-42, 45-57, and 68-78) were dynamically shielded by the C-terminus in αS1-140, reducing their exposure and potentially preventing inter-peptide interactions that drive aggregation. C-terminal truncation, on the other hand, increased the exposed surface area of these aggregation-prone regions, thereby enhancing inter-peptide interactions, phase separation, and amyloid aggregation. Overall, our simulations provide valuable insights into the conformational effects of C-terminal truncation on αS and its role in promoting pathological aggregation.

Assessing the impact of central and peripheral obstructions on visual behavior: insights from gaze-contingent eye-tracking studies

This dataset is a collection of image stimuli, as well as gaze tracks collected using visual field masks, such as central and peripheral scotoma, in order to assess the way people with visual field loss process visual stimuli in digital environments. <h3>This dataset is structured as follows :</h3> <ul> <li>Stimuli: 125 fullHD images (1920x1080) used during the experiment trials; 4 fullHD images used during the training phase.</li> <li>Trials_metadata: <ul> <li>Psychopy_outputs: various callbacks and logs files from the Psychopy experiment</li> <li>trials_metadata: .csv files containing metadata such as stimuli order and timestamps.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Raw_eyetracking_outputs: subfolders containing the raw .edf files output by the Eyelink 1000+ eye-tracker. .edf files are divided into groups of 25 successive stimuli displayed.</li> <li>Raw_gaze_points: .csv files, containing the raw gaze points locations for each subject, stimulus and mask. Blinks, invalid coordinates and out-of-bounds gaze points are already removed from these files.</li> <li>Fixations: .csv files (one per image per participant) containing eye fixations locations extracted from the raw gaze points using a I-VT algorithm with a saccade velocity threshold of 45 deg/s.</li> </ul> <h2> Experiment</h2> <h3>Images</h3> This database consists of 100 images collected from personal collections and various public image datasets, such as the CityScapes and the KITTI-360 datasets, covering a variety of themes, including landscapes, people, actions, and nature. Images had a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution (FullHD) and were shown on a screen with the same resolution.  <h3>Eye-tracking data collection</h3> The stimuli were presented to a group of 37 observers, with normal or corrected-to-normal vision. We used a table-mounted EyeLink 1000 Plus eye-tracker, working at a fixed rate of 1000Hz, with a chin rest to ensure data accuracy. Participants were informed that they would observe images both with and without simulated visual field impairments, and the two types of masks used were described. They were also told that the only task is to view the images freely.  To familiarize participants with the different types of masks, four training images (distinct from the trial dataset) were provided in the training phase, with each image presented in the three conditions -- peripheral mask, foveal mask, and control (no mask) -- with varying mask sizes.  In the trial phase, stimuli were displayed in a random order, with a randomly generated playlist ensuring no three consecutive stimuli were of the same image. A uniform gray screen was displayed between each stimulus.  Viewing distance was set to be 90cm. Eye-tracker calibration was carried out using a 9-point calibration protocol, i.e., 9 points were sequentially and randomly shown on the screen, where the observer should fixate their gaze.  Additionally, calibration was performed after every 25 displayed images. Each image was presented to the observers for a 5-second period. Each image in the database was presented to the observers under different conditions :     - The image without any obstruction, referred to as the control condition (C).      - Peripheral mask (P) simulating a tunnel vision, with two circular mask size variations (one individual mask for each eye): 1.5° and 4.5° radius of field of view, referred to as P1 and P2, respectively.      - Foveal mask (F) simulating a central scotoma, also with two size variations: 1.5° and 4.5° radius of obstruction, referred to as F1 and F2, in that order.

Data from the manuscript "Is the 2010 Maule Earthquake a repeating earthquake? Rupture heterogeneities and their impact on ground motion, landslides and cortical faults in Subduction Zones. "

MATLAB data and codes used for the manuscript are provided. These calculate ground motion from a heterogeneous rupture, similar to the approach used in Venegas-Aravena (2024). The rupture simulation can be performed using the 'HE_B rupture.mat' code, which implements the Heterogeneous Energy-Based method (Venegas-Aravena, 2023) to model the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake. The code for generating ground motion, 'Displacement_field.mat', calculates near-, intermediate-, and far-field displacement fields following equations 4.32 in Aki and Richards (2002) as a summation of point sources from the earthquake rupture. The subduction geometry is included in this dataset. The code can compute displacements in rho, theta, phi, direction and in east-west, north-south, and dip directions after following code instructions. Additionally, it includes a feature to add Rayleigh waves, although this was not utilized in the 2010 Maule earthquake manuscript. A video showing the data can be seen here: https://youtu.be/6Zf3fgb6AGc. References Aki and Richards (2002): QUANTITATIVE SEISMOLOGY, SECOND EDITION.

Impacts and Challenges of Adopting Micro-Frontends

Context: Incorporating new technologies into monolithic frontend projects has been challenging for software development teams, due to issues such as code redundancy, inconsistency, and scalability. To address these challenges, the micro-frontend architecture emerged, offering a more modular and independent solution. Goal: This study aims to investigate the impacts and challenges of adopting the micro-frontend architecture.  Method: We conducted a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) to identify the architectural patterns and approaches used in micro-frontends. Additionally, we carried out a survey to validate the strategies and challenges of adopting this architecture. Results: The findings highlight the relevance of the micro-frontend architecture in modernizing the frontend layer. However, its adoption is closely tied to the complexity and size of the project and team. Therefore, implementing the micro-frontend architecture with a well-defined set of methodological and technological decisions increases the likelihood of successful adoption.
