Notch Stress Intensity Factor (NSIF)-Based Fatigue Design to Assess Cast Steel Porosity and Related Artificially Generated Imperfections

open access: yesMetals, 2019
Shrinkage porosities and non-metallic inclusions are common manufacturing process based defects that are present within cast materials. Conventional fatigue design recommendations, such as the FKM guideline (“Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau”

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Enhanced Protein Recovery from Rapeseed Press Cake via Pressurized Liquid Extraction: Effects of pH Shifting and Process Parameters

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Rapeseed press cake (RPC), the protein-rich residue from edible oil production, is currently underutilized and is primarily used as animal feed. This study aimed to investigate pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) for protein recovery from RPC using ...

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+.

A Standard Design Process for Sustainable Design

open access: yesProcedia Computer Science, 2015
AbstractThis exploratory research examined the degree of adoption and impact of the concepts of Building Information Model (BIM), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Integrated Design Process (IDP) and Building Energy Simulation (BES) on the design processes of advanced architectural firms when executing sustainable design. Six offices identified by 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.

A Designer’s Role in Inclusive Design Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Today’s world is in the midst of a material and immaterial exchange process, one of discussion and synergic use of abilities. This begs the question of what role design could possibly play in these conditions and what procedures should a designer put in place in order to attempt to give plausible answers to the new relationships that connect people and

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

From Co-design to convivial design: insights from engaging users in a participatory clothing design process

open access: yes, 2014
Research examines participatory design from the perspectives of clothing design, design activism and co-design through engaging users in a participatory clothing design process.
