Fig. 5. Glabrilaria corbula cyranosa subsp. nov. A. Colony view (paratype MZB 2025-6318). B. Nonovicellate and ovicellate autozooids: notice the flat frontal shield, the stout arch formed by the basis of oral spines around the distal edge; some non-ovicellate autozooids exhibit eight spines (holotype MZB 2016-3589). C. Ovicell with the characteristic nose-like central protuberance (holotype MZB 2016- 3589). D. Pedunculated avicularium growing from a marginal pore of an autozooid. Notice that it is much longer than high (holotype MZB 2016-3589).

Non-ovicellated and ovicellated autozooids, notice that the non-ovicellated zooids exhibit a variable number of spines (five or six); white arrows point to small processes at the base of the spine; dashed arrows point to gymnocyst extensions (holotype MZB 2025-6311). C. Primary orifice and suboral bar without lacunae and distalmost intercoastal space showing the characteristic uneven pores (paratype MZB 2016-3782). D. Ovicell type A, lacking lateral tubercles and kenozooid (top right) (paratype MZB 2016-3782).

Fig. 2. Mollia circumcincta (Heller, 1867). A. Ovicells. Notice the presence of a distal round pore, two lateral opesiules and a smooth ectoecial rim only laterally developed (F.K. McKinney leg.; AMNHB920Acc63274). B. When two competing species of Mollia (M. multijuncta (Waters, 1879) on the left of the image and M. circumcincta on the right) meet, the marginal autozooids of M. circumcincta can develop two small spines (white arrows) (MZB 2015-8296).

In today's world, the number of global nuclear weapons has exceeded the amount needed to destroy the earth, but it is very difficult to reduce and eliminate them. After the Russia-Ukraine war, Europe and the United States are worried about Russia's nuclear weapons. The power of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is ten times that of the Chernobyl's. However, it has been repeatedly attacked. In case of a full-scale nuclear explosion, the disaster coverage area will be about 512 million square kilometers, which will exceed the total area of the earth. Human cells around the world will be harmed. The two atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 should have paralyzed at least 20% of Japan and made it uninhabitable for humans for at least 100 years, but the opposite is true. Just based on this scientific logic, it is sufficient to prove that the US military successfully carry out a nuclear psychological war at that time. The United States has spent $7.2 trillion on nuclear weapons. Japan did not point out the wrong investment by the United States and has long enjoyed the dividend of being a so-called atomic bomb victim. If the U.S. had entrusted Buffett's team with investing only 100  billion USD in 1965, investment income  would  have risen to  2472.627 trillion USD by 2018 , even if calculated at half the annual investment return rate, there would not have been a national debt crisis. Moreover, the United States would at any time have had enough funds to begin building 100,000 kilometers of high-speed rail around the United States and high-speed rail reaching the Bering Strait. In order to escape nuclear destruction and promote normal economic development, the public should be aware of the above-mentioned atomic bomb psychological war. Obviously, the incomparable facts prove that awarding the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize to the atomic bomb victims of Japan is a huge mistake. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee should immediately correct this huge mistake. The Japanese people and the Japanese government should no longer deceive the global public and should not cheat to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Instead, they should honestly tell the global public that the U.S. military has never dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan has never been truly bombed by U.S. atomic bombs.

This record contains the top-ranked Chai-1 (Chai Discovery) predicted structural model of the human PINK1–RIPK1 kinase-domain complex, as presented in Figure 6E and Supplementary Figure 7 of the manuscript.   Structure prediction: The PINK1 (kinase domain)–RIPK1 (kinase domain) complex was predicted with the multimodal foundation model Chai-1, incorporating experimental distance restraints derived from alanine-scanning mutagenesis of the PINK1–RIPK1 binding interface (Chai Discovery team, bioRxiv 2024, doi:10.1101/2024.10.10.615955).   File: pred.rank_0.pdb — the top-ranked (rank 0) of five Chai-1 models; this is the model used to generate the structural figures.   Chains: Chain A = human PINK1 kinase domain, modelled over full-length residues Y146–L501; Chain B = human RIPK1 kinase domain, modelled over full-length residues 17–289.   Atom numbering: Numbering follows Chai-1 output numbering, in which each chain starts at its first modelled residue: Chain A position 1 = PINK1 Y146 (full-length PINK1 number = local + 145); Chain B position 1 = RIPK1 residue 17 (full-length RIPK1 number = local + 16).   Molecular dynamics: The stability of the complex was further assessed by MD simulations(AMBER24, ff19SB); backbone RMSF was computed with CPPTRAJ.
