Nearest Embedded and Embedding Self-Nested Trees [PDF]
Algorithms, 2019 Self-nested trees present a systematic form of redundancy in their subtrees and thus achieve optimal compression rates by directed acrylic graph (DAG) compression. A method for quantifying the degree of self-similarity of plants through self-nested trees was introduced by Godin and Ferraro in 2010.

Influence of Pre-Stressing on Tieback Retaining Wall for Sandy Soils Excavations
Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2021 Pre-stressed ground anchor systems or tieback systems are commonly used at wide and irregular-shaped excavations, with the advantage of lower cost and ease of construction compared to the braced excavations, but they come with the drawback on permits for

Supporting Survivor‐Centered Care Through Digital Health Integration
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Survivors of childhood cancer face barriers to receiving guideline‐based, long‐term follow‐up care. Two digital tools, Passport for Care (PFC) and Cancer SurvivorLink (SurvivorLink), address complementary gaps by enabling tailored survivorship care plan (SCP) generation, updating, storage, and sharing.

Mechanical behavior of hollow proppants based on finite element model
Energy Science & Engineering, 2021 Proppants are being increasingly used in hydraulic fracturing, which keep the fractures open. Progress has been made in developing hollow proppants that can be transported to the far end of the fractures to improve propped fracture conductivity.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Compressive Strength Estimation of Mesh Embedded Masonry Prism Using Empirical and Neural Network Models [PDF]
Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2020 Presently, the mesh embedment in masonry is becoming a trendy research topic. In this paper, the mesh embedded masonry prism was cast and tested. The experimental data were used for the analytical modelling.
