Editorial: “Linking Hypoxia to Obesity”

Citation: Foti DP and Brunetti A (2017) Editorial: " Linking Hypoxia to Obesity ". Linking Hypoxia to Obesity Obesity is a major public health problem that constitutes a worldwide epidemic, often associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancers (1). The rising prevalence of obesity and obesity-related medical conditions has therefore promoted much interest and re...

Molecular Biodynamers: Dynamic Covalent Analogues of Biopolymers

Constitutional dynamic chemistry (CDC) features the use of reversible linkages at both molecular and supramolecular levels, including reversible covalent bonds (dynamic covalent chemistry, DCC) and noncovalent interactions (dynamic noncovalent chemistry, DNCC). Due to its inherent reversibility and stimuli-responsiveness, CDC has been widely utilized as a powerful tool for the screening of bioa...

Choice in Dynamic Linking

We introduce a computational interpretation for Hilbert’s choice operator (ε). This interpretation yields a typed foundation for dynamic linking in software systems. The use of choice leads to interesting difficulties—some known from proof theory and others specific to the programming-language perspective that we develop. We therefore emphasize an important special case, restricting the nesting...

Editorial: Linking Ecosystem Function to Microbial Diversity

Understanding the link between microbial diversity and ecosystem processes is a fundamental goal of microbial ecologists, yet we still have a rudimentary knowledge of how changes in diversity affect nutrient cycling and energy transfer in ecosystems. Due to the complexity of the problem, many published studies on this topic have been conducted in artificial or manipulated systems. Studies of ar...
