Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. However, whether this change in the metabolic program is the cause or the consequence of the unique function of HSCs remains unknown. Here we show that enforced modulation of energy metabolism impacts HSC sel...

Urbanization is one of the great challenges of our time and unchecked haphazard urbanization is a serious threat both to the environment and social and economic balance. In order to meet global sustainability targets, rapid urban growth must be channelled into environmentally friendly, sustainable and liveable urban environments. Thus, this special issue focuses on sustainable urban design whic...

We propose a variation of harvest-then-consume protocol with low complexity where the harvest and consume phases change when the battery energy level reaches certain thresholds. The proposed protocol allows us to control the possible energy outage during consumption phase. Assuming that the battery is perfect and that the energy arrival is a renewal process, we analyze the duty cycle and the op...

We derive the statistical-mechanical expressions obtained via the method of time averages [1,2] by considering a renewal stochastic process. Our approach is based on the introduction of a generating function for the n-th event occurrence. This involves weighting the probability distribution function ψn(t) for the n-th event taking place at time t by a factor zn. For identical independent events...

Over the past ten years, State and Territory housing authorities have stressed the importance of resident participation in community and urban renewal. However, their renewal efforts have lacked a sound evidence base.Why is community participation seen as crucial? What are the most effective ways of promoting participation, and what are the practical barriers to residents getting involved? Mart...
