The annexins are a family of proteins that bind in a Ca2+-dependent manner to phospholipids that are preferentially located on the intracellular face of plasma membranes. Recent X-ray studies of hydra annexin XII showed that it crystallized as a homohexamer with an intermolecular Ca2+ binding site separate from the type II Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding site. On the basis of this hexamer s...

The Tera-$Z$ phase of future ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ colliders, FCC-ee and CEPC, is a gold mine for exploring $Z$ portal physics. We focus on axionlike particles (ALPs) that can be produced via decays with monochromatic photon. As template model, we consider composite Higgs models light pseudoscalar couples through the Wess-Zumino-Witten term to electroweak gauge bosons. For both photophi...

The Infostations wireless data network architecture features discontinuous coverage and ultra-high radio rates for burst transfers of information between base and mobile. It has been shown previously that the infostations architecture can greatly increase the capacity of wireless data systems at the expense of increased delivery delay. In this work we explicitly consider the multiple access iss...
