Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

The Utilization of Waste as Iron Ore in Making Concrete Aggregate Quality K.300
Concrete is an manmade building material that looks like stone. Concrete is a composite material consisting of coarse-grained material (aggregates or fillers) that is embedded in a solid matrix of material (cement or binder) that fills the space between ...

A Study Focus on Concrete Replacing LD Slag as Fine Aggregate [PDF]
Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and coarse granular aggregate (which acts as a filler material) embedded in a hard matrix of cement (which acts as binder) that fills the space among the aggregate particles and glue them together.

Structure of interacting aggregates of silica nanoparticles in a polymer matrix: Small-angle scattering and Reverse Monte-Carlo simulations [PDF]
Reinforcement of elastomers by colloidal nanoparticles is an important application where microstructure needs to be understood - and if possible controlled - if one wishes to tune macroscopic mechanical properties. Here the three-dimensional structure of

Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Usefulness of porphyry and amphibolites as a component of concrete for airfield pavements
Coarse aggregate used as part of cement concrete is of primary significance for the obtained parameters of hardened concrete. In case of concretes intended for airfield pavements, the application of granite grit is recommended.

Iterating Non-Aggregative Structure Compositions
An aggregative composition is a binary operation obeying the principle that the whole is determined by the sum of its parts. The development of graph algebras, on which the theory of formal graph languages is built, relies on aggregative compositions that behave like disjoint union, except for a set of well-marked interface vertices from both ...

Anisotropic Reinforcement of Nanocomposites Tuned by Magnetic Orientation of the Filler Network [PDF]
We present a new material which displays anisotropic and mechanical properties tuneable during synthesis under magnetic field. It is formulated by mixing aqueous suspensions of polymer nanolatex and magnetic nanoparticles, coated by a thin silica layer ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity
The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

Investigation on the transport properties of chlorides in concrete (I) Identification of ITZ
Concrete is a multiphase composite material, in which the mortar, aggregate and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) have important influence on the chloride ions transport. In this research, the thickness ITZ was measured and the concentration distribution
