Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Microfluidically frequency-reconfigurable compact self-quadruplexing tunable antenna with high isolation based on substrate integrated waveguide

open access: yesScientific Reports
This communication presents a novel concept of microfluidically frequency-reconfigurable self-quadruplexing tunable antenna for quad-band applications. At the initial design stage, a substrate-integrated square cavity is divided into four unequal quarter-

Algorithm Engineering in Robust Optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Robust optimization is a young and emerging field of research having received a considerable increase of interest over the last decade. In this paper, we argue that the the algorithm engineering methodology fits very well to the field of robust optimization and yields a rewarding new perspective on both the current state of research and open research ...

Application of the Flower Pollination Algorithm in Structural Engineering

open access: yes, 2021
In the design of a structural system, the optimum values of design variables cannot be derived analytically. Structural engineering problems have various design constraints concerning structural security measures and practicability in production.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Adaptive Population Learning EJaya Algorithm for Real-World Optimization Problems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences
EJaya enhances the global exploration capability of the Jaya algorithm but still suffers from drawbacks such as local stagnation and slow convergence due to its single learning strategy and weak population maintenance. To address these issues, this paper

Multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem: a case study in an open-pit mining process

open access: yes
In this article, a case study is analysed using an adaptation of a project scheduling problem with multitasking resource restrictions. The objective is to reduce the operational costs of an open-pit mining process that uses mobile surface equipment, by ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This
