Behaviour and design of composite beams subjected to negative bending and compression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper investigates the behaviour of steel–concrete composite beams subjected to the combined effects of negative bending and axial compression. Six full-scale tests were conducted on composite beams subjected to negative moment while compression was

Definition of the characteristic masonry house for seismic vulnerability assessment in the Historic Centre of Cuenca, Ecuador = Definición de la vivienda característica de mampostería para evaluación de vulnerabilidad sísmica en el Centro Histórico de Cuenca, Ecuador

open access: yesAdvances in Building Education
The historic centre of the city of Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in a zone of high seismic hazard. For these reasons, the Urban Development Plan of Cuenca sets out the need to implement measures for the conservation of buildings ...

A geometric characterization of the classical Lie algebras [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A nonzero element x in a Lie algebra g over a field F with Lie product [ , ] is called a extremal element if [x, [x, g]] is contained in Fx. Long root elements in classical Lie algebras are examples of extremal elements. Arjeh Cohen et al.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

A Local-to-Global Result for Topological Spherical Buildings

open access: yes, 2012
Suppose that \Delta, \Delta' are two buildings each arising from a semisimpe algebraic group over a field, a topological field in the former case, and that for both the buildings the Coxeter diagram has no isolated nodes. We give conditions under which a

Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

Regular sequences and random walks in affine buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We define and characterise regular sequences in affine buildings, thereby giving the "$p$-adic analogue" of the fundamental work of Kaimanovich.

Engineering tandem VHHs to target different epitopes to enhance antibody‐dependent cell‐mediated cytotoxicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tandem VHH targeting distinct EGFR epitopes were engineered into a monovalent bispecific antibody (7D12‐EGA1‐Fc) with more potent ADCC without increasing affinity to EGFR. Structural modeling of 7D12‐EGA1‐Fc showed cross‐linking of separate EGFR domains to enhance CD16a engagement on NK cells.

Homogeneous compact geometries

open access: yes, 2014
We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings.

Diagramming social practice theory:An interdisciplinary experiment exploring practices as networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Achieving a transition to a low-carbon energy system is now widely recognised as a key challenge facing humanity. To date, the vast majority of research addressing this challenge has been conducted within the disciplines of science, engineering and ...
