The engineering method for unifying ground floor slab settlements

open access: yesEngineering Structures and Technologies, 2020
For industrial buildings and logistics centres truck lifts are usually used. Therefore, there are special requirements for flatness tolerance of ground floor. The ground floor settlements differences in selected distances are limited. The article reviews

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Genetic algorithm based optimisation of FRP composite plates in ship structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Composite materials (herein means Fibre Reinforced Plastic, FRP) are increasingly usedin the construction of marine vehicles because of their outstanding strength, stiffness and light weight properties.

Wide-Range, Low-Hysteresis Soft Sensor with Architecture-Inspired Design Enabled by Femtosecond Laser-Induced Self-Growth

open access: yesSensors
Resolving the dichotomy between wide detection ranges and low mechanical hysteresis remains a critical challenge in flexible electronics, largely governed by the intrinsic viscoelastic creep of polymeric dielectrics.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Flutter prediction, suppression and control in aircraft composite wings as a design prerequisite: a survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Emergence of flutter compromises not only the long-term durability of the wing structure, but also the operational safety, flight performance and energy efficiency of the aircraft. Effectual means of flutter prevention are, therefore, mandatory in the

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.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Simplified numerical modelling of steel-concrete composite beams with trapezoidal steel decking

open access: yes, 2015
Steel-concrete composite beams with trapezoidal steel decking have been widely used in building construction for their superior structural performance and ease in construction. In structural design, it is favourable to accurately simulate the performance
