Part 2: pushing the envelope. A process perspective for architecture, engineering and construction [PDF]

, 2015
In this article, I am building on an emerging 'process view of nature' and how biological membranes emerge through the combined action of (locally) autonomous construction agents.

Biological and geophysical feedbacks with fire in the Earth system

, 2018
Roughly 3% of the Earth’s land surface burns annually, representing a critical exchange of energy and matter between the land and atmosphere via combustion.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Brain oscillatory activity during motor preparation: Effect of directional uncertainty on beta, but not alpha, frequency band

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
In time-constraint activities, such as sports, it is advantageous to be prepared to act even before knowing precisely what action will be needed. Here, we studied the relation between neural oscillations during motor preparation and amount of uncertainty

Streptolysin S induces pronounced calcium-ion influx-dependent expression of immediate early genes encoding transcription factors

Scientific Reports, 2023
Anginosus group streptococci (AGS) are opportunistic human pathogens of the oral cavity. The β-hemolytic subgroup of Streptococcus anginosus subsp. anginosus secretes streptolysin S (SLS) and exhibits not only hemolytic activity but also cytotoxicity ...

GUBS, a Behavior-based Language for Open System Dedicated to Synthetic Biology

, 2012
In this article, we propose a domain specific language, GUBS (Genomic Unified Behavior Specification), dedicated to the behavioral specification of synthetic biological devices, viewed as discrete open dynamical systems.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

3D deep learning identifies pigs using point cloud data during different growth stages of grow-finish pigs

Smart Agricultural Technology
Effective precision livestock farming relies on the ability to accurately identify individual animals. While ear tags offer a straightforward identification method, they are rarely used in grow-finish pigs due to the cost of the tag, labor demands to ...
