Putting the Car Before the Horse: The Diffusion of the Automobile and the Rise of Technocratic Primacy

open access: yesHistories
A key question in the literature of technology in society is the degree to which technology is a product of society and vice versa. A related question is how the differing cross-causal lines between the two change both technological and social forms ...

Estimation of contact characteristics based on measurement of inner tire surface strain

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
From a point of view of handling and stability, it is important to bring automotive tires into contact with the road correctly. If the contact state of the tire is known while moving, more advanced vehicle control can be carried out.

Time‐restricted feeding prior to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection reduces tissue CD4+ T cells with limited impact on bacterial clearance

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) in mice increased liver fatty acid oxidation and decreased fatty acid biosynthesis. These alterations persisted when TRF was discontinued and the host was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pre‐exposure to TRF did not alter tissue (lung and spleen) mycobacterial burden but significantly reduced CD3+ T cells in lungs

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

Light-Fueled Self-Propulsion of Liquid Crystal Elastomer-Engined Automobiles in Zero-Energy Modes

open access: yesMathematics
The defining attribute of self-excited motion is its capability to extract energy from a stable environment and regulate it autonomously, making it an extremely promising innovation for microdevices, autonomous robotics, sensor technologies, and energy ...

Adaptive embedded control of cyber-physical systems using reinforcement learning

open access: yesIET Cyber-Physical Systems, 2017
Embedded control parameters of cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as sampling rate, are typically invariant and designed with a worst case scenario in mind.

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Opportunities for local electric vehicle manufacturing in Africa

open access: yesThe Proceedings of the Nigerian Academy of Science
In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations on Clean Energy, Sustainable Industrialization and Climate Change, there is an urgent call on Africa to decarbonize transportation.

Yeast Gcn2 retains activity following humanization of its auto‐phosphorylation region

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model to study Gcn2 activation and regulation is limited by the lack of antibodies detecting phosphorylated Gcn2. To overcome this, we engineered Gcn2‐HsC, a yeast Gcn2 variant recognizable by commercial anti‐human phospho‐GCN2 antibodies.
