153. Strong-form meshless numerical modelling of visco-plastic materialGašper Vuga, Boštjan Mavrič, Božidar Šarler, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: This work extends our research on the strong-form meshless Radial Basis Function - Finite Difference (RBF-FD) method for solving non-linear visco-plastic mechanical problems. The polyharmonic splines with second-order polynomial augmentation are used for the shape functions. Their coefficients are determined by collocation. Three different approaches (direct, composed, and hybrid) are used for the numerical evaluation of the divergence operator in the equilibrium equation. They are presented and assessed for a visco-plastic material model with continuously differentiable material properties. It is shown that the direct approach is not suitable in this respect. In comparison to the previously investigated elasto-plasticity, it is shown that the composed approach can successfully cope with visco-plastic problems and is found to be even more accurate than the hybrid approach, which has previously proven to be most stable and effective in solving elasto-plasticity. This work extends the applicability of strong-form RBF-FD methods and opens up new areas of modelling non-linear solid mechanics.

155. Preservation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels in LRIG1 across genomic DNA and cell-free DNA in glioma patientsDaša Jevšinek Skok, Luka Bolha, Nina Hauptman, 2024, other scientific articles Abstract: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has recently emerged as a promising minimally invasive diagnostic biomarker for various cancers. In this study, our aim was to identify cfDNA biomarkers by investigating genes that displayed significant differences between glioma patients and their corresponding controls. To accomplish this, we utilized publicly available data from the Gene Expression Omnibus, focusing on 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) profiles in both cfDNA and genomic DNA (gDNA) from glioma patients and healthy individuals. The intersection of gene lists derived from these comparative analyses unveiled LRIG1 and ZNF703 as the two genes with elevated 5hmC levels in both the cfDNA of glioma patients and gDNA of glioma tissue compared to their respective controls. The gene expression data revealed both genes were upregulated in glioma tissue compared to normal brain tissue. Integration of 5hmC data revealed a strong positive correlation in the glioma tissue group between 5hmC and the gene expression of the LRIG1 gene. Furthermore, exploration using the AmiCa web tool indicated that LRIG1 gene expression was elevated compared to 17 other cancers included in the database, emphasizing its potential as a distinctive biomarker across multiple cancer types.

160. Experimental drought results in a decline of ectomycorrhizae of Quercus pubescens Willd.Tanja Mrak, Tina Unuk Nahberger, Olivera Maksimović, Hojka Kraigher, Mitja Ferlan, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Experimental drought decreased the vitality of ectomycorrhiza and reduced the number of unique morphotypes. Quercus pubescens (Willd.) is an ectomycorrhizal (ECM) tree species that is capable of withstanding occasional drought events, but the response of its ectomycorrhiza to drought is not well known. An experiment with two rain exclusion plots and two natural precipitation regime plots was established in a secondary sub-Mediterranean oak forest. ECM roots were sampled before the experiment and after 11 months of rain exclusion. ECM root tips were divided into vital and non-vital and quantified. Morphoanatomical characterization and molecular identification were performed for vital ectomycorrhizae to obtain diversity indices and perform community analyses. Soil water content (SWC) in rain exclusion plots was reduced by approx. 6 vol.% relative to natural precipitation regime and was devoid of major peaks in SWC after rain events. After 11 months, ECM vitality and species richness were significantly reduced on rain exclusion plots compared to the natural precipitation regime while ECM community was reduced to a small subset of the most frequent morphotypes, with strongly decreased number of the unique morphotypes. The reduction of unique morphotypes as a result of rain exclusion may compromise the functional diversity of ectomycorrhiza in their role of nutrient uptake, while the reduction of ECM vitality may decrease the absorptive surface for water and nutrients.
