A correlated motif approach for finding short linear motifs from protein interaction networks

BMC Bioinformatics, 2006
Background An important class of interaction switches for biological circuits and disease pathways are short binding motifs. However, the biological experiments to find these binding motifs are often laborious and expensive.

Directional Dependence of Experimental Trunk Stiffness: Role of Muscle-Stiffness Variation of Nonneural Origin

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2020
Trunk stiffness is an important parameter for trunk stability analysis and needs to be evaluated accurately. Discrepancies regarding the dependence of trunk stiffness on the direction of movement in the sagittal plane suggest inherent sources of error ...

Artifact from myomectomy/C-Section on MRI images – what does this mean for MR-guided focused ultrasound candidacy for uterine fibroids?

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2019
Background: Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is used for non-surgical treatment of uterine fibroids, often in patients who have had prior myomectomy or Cesarean section. The presence of post-surgical MRI artifacts along the beam path

Groundwater dominates snowmelt runoff and controls streamflow efficiency in the western United States

Communications Earth & Environment
Climate change in seasonally snow-covered mountain catchments is reducing water supply and decreasing streamflow predictability. Here, we use tritium age dating to show that contrary to the common assumption that snowmelt quickly contributes to runoff ...

Pulmonary vein anatomy and its variations in a Turkish atrial fibrillation cohort undergoing cryoballoon-based catheter ablation

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2017
Objective: Pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy has drawn attention since assumption that atrial fibrillation (AF) may originate from PVs and that electrical isolation of PVs may be beneficial in eliminating these triggers.

Fundamental Limits of Coded Caching in Request-Robust D2D Communication Networks

Entropy
D2D coded caching, originally introduced by Ji, Caire, and Molisch, significantly improves communication efficiency by applying the multi-cast technology proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen to the D2D network.

Halving warming with stratospheric aerosol geoengineering moderates policy-relevant climate hazards

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is a proposal to artificially thicken the layer of reflective aerosols in the stratosphere and it is hoped that this may offer a means of reducing average climate changes.

Origin of compact exoplanetary systems during disk infall

Nature Communications
Exoplanetary systems that contain multiple planets on short-period orbits appear to be prevalent in the current observed exoplanetary population, yet the processes that give rise to such configurations remain poorly understood.
