The Nordic welfare model providing energy transition? A political geography approach to the EU RES directive [PDF]
, 2012 The EU Renewable Energy Strategy (RES) Directive requires that each member state obtain 20% of its energy supply from renewable sources by 2020. If fully implemented, this implies major changes in institutions, infrastructure, land use, and natural ...

An Energy-Based Model Approach to Rare Event Probability Estimation
SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty QuantificationThe estimation of rare event probabilities plays a pivotal role in diverse fields. Our aim is to determine the probability of a hazard or system failure occurring when a quantity of interest exceeds a critical value. In our approach, the distribution of the quantity of interest is represented by an energy density, characterized by a free energy ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Energy-based methods and nanocarrier-based approaches for melasma treatment
Advanced Pharmaceutical BulletinMelasma is a chronic disease caused by excessive melanin production in the skin, affecting the quality of life, especially in women. As a kind of skin hyperpigmentation, it can be caused by sun exposure, genetics, hormones, drugs, or inflammation. Melasma treatment can be effective when the product penetrates well into the skin.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Direct Air Capture-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal with United States Low-Carbon Energy and Sinks [PDF]
, 2021 The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will lead a team to develop preliminary designs for large-scale direct air capture (DAC) and storage plants to collect and permanently store carbon dioxide (CO2) at three different facilities located in ...
