Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Online legal driving behavior monitoring for self-driving vehicles

open access: yesNature Communications
Defined traffic laws must be respected by all vehicles when driving on the road, including self-driving vehicles without human drivers. Nevertheless, the ambiguity of human-oriented traffic laws, particularly compliance thresholds, poses a significant ...

Clustering and Investigation of Human Driving Behavior Using Autoencoder and Risk Assessment

open access: yesIEEE Access
This paper introduces a novel methodology for evaluating human driving behavior influenced by shoe type and its impact on collision risk. While human factors, such as footwear, are recognized to affect driving safety, studies quantitively assessing the ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Vibrotactile pedals : provision of haptic feedback to support economical driving [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The use of haptic feedback is currently an underused modality in the driving environment, especially with respect to vehicle manufacturers. This exploratory study evaluates the effects of a vibrotactile (or haptic) accelerator pedal on car driving ...

Traffic Conflict Prediction for Sharp Turns on Mountain Roads Based on Driver Behavior Patterns

open access: yesApplied Sciences
This investigation analyses driving behaviors that lead to accidents on overly sharp mountain road curves in Nanjing Province, China. We collected information through field observations and driving simulations while analyzing key indicators like the mean

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Implementation of a Driving Diary Intervention to Reduce Aberrant Driving Behaviours [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Crash data involving taxis indicates that such drivers are over represented in crashes and are one to two times more likely to be involved in a fatality crash. This study reports on the pre intervention survey to provide a baseline measure of the self-

Hearing loss and a supportive tactile signal in a navigation system: Effects on driving behavior and eye movements

open access: yesJournal of Eye Movement Research, 2013
An on-road study was conducted to evaluate a complementary tactile navigation signal on driving behaviour and eye movements for drivers with hearing loss (HL) compared to drivers with normal hearing (NH).

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
