dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Combined Probability Prediction of Wind Power Considering the Conflict of Evaluation Indicators

IEEE Access, 2019
Wind power combination probability prediction can effectively describe the uncertainty of wind farm output power and reduce the negative impact of this uncertainty on grid dispatching and operation.

Bayesian Linear Regression [PDF]

, 2009
The paper is concerned with Bayesian analysis under prior-data conflict, i.e. the situation when observed data are rather unexpected under the prior (and the sample size is not large enough to eliminate the influence of the prior).

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

Scarcity induces conflict in Puerto Rican fisheries

Environmental Research Letters
Small-scale fisheries provide vital food security for coastal communities worldwide, yet they face numerous challenges. In particular, fisheries conflicts arise when a marine resource is contested or disputed between a minimum of two actors.

Evaluating U-left turn and direct left turn movements at signalized intersections using traffic conflict indices

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online)
This research aims to analyze and compare the impact of U-left turn (ULT) and direct left turn (DLT) movements on safety and traffic flow using traffic conflict indices as a non-crash data methodology.

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Traffic conflict assessment for non-lane-based movements of motorcycles under congested conditions

IATSS Research, 2014
Traffic conflict under congested conditions is one of the main safety issues of motorcycle traffic in developing countries. Unlike cars, motorcycles often display non-lane-based movements such as swerving or oblique following of a lead vehicle when ...
