The applicability of a non-anatomical soft and hard tissue centroid line (S&H centroid) in cephalometrics

open access: yesSaudi Dental Journal, 2010
The applicability of a newly introduced non-anatomical soft and hard tissue cephalometric centroid line (S&H centroid) was investigated. The “S&H centroid” line established from 12″ × 14″ lateral cephalometric radiographs of 57 selected adults was used ...

Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

The correlation between age, blood pressure variability and estimated pulse wave velocity

open access: yesScientific Reports
Studies have separately compared the association of age with blood pressure variability (BPV) or pulse wave velocity (PWV). We aimed to establish the association between age and metrics of short-term BPV and PWV in the same sample. 508 under 60 years (

Long-Term Stable Online Acetylene Detection by a CEAS System with Suppression of Cavity Length Drift

open access: yesSensors, 2019
A trace acetylene (C2H2) detection system was demonstrated using the cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) technique and a near-infrared distributed feedback (NIR-DFB) laser.

A Note on the asymptotic equivalence of jackknife and linearization variance estimation for the Gini Coefficient

open access: yes, 2008
The Gini coefficient has proved valuable as a measure of income inequality. In cross-sectional studies of the Gini coefficient, information about the accuracy of its estimate is crucial.

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Viscosity Measurements of Dilute Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) Aqueous Solutions Near Theta Temperature Analyzed within the Joint Rouse-Zimm Model

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, 2015
The steady-state shear viscosity of low-concentrated Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOX) aqueous solutions is measured near the presumed theta temperature using the falling ball viscometry technique.

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Heat Transfer Performance in a Superheater of an Industrial CFBC Using Fuzzy Logic-Based Methods

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The heat transfer coefficient in the combustion chamber of industrial circulating flidized bed (CFB) boilers depends on many parameters as it is a result of multifactorial mechanisms proceeding in the furnace.
