Numerical Analysis of the Big Bounce in Loop Quantum Cosmology

open access: yes, 2007
Loop quantum cosmology homogeneous models with a massless scalar field show that the big-bang singularity can be replaced by a big quantum bounce. To gain further insight on the nature of this bounce, we study the semi-discrete loop quantum gravity ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

GLOBAL REGISTRATION OF KINECT POINT CLOUDS USING AUGMENTED EXTENDED INFORMATION FILTER AND MULTIPLE FEATURES [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Because the Infra-Red (IR) Kinect sensor only provides accurate depths up to 5 m for a limited field of view (60°), the problem of registration error accumulation becomes inevitable in indoor mapping.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Optimal Look-Angle Guidance with Field-of-View and Impact Angle Constraints for Strapdown Munition

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022
A strapdown seeker with limited field-of-view (FOV) can simplify and decrease cost of the guidance system for a munition. However, the inherent defect of the strapdown seeker is that it could not provide the necessary line-of-sight (LOS) angular ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Two-Phase Optimal Guidance Law considering Impact Angle Constraint with Bearings-Only Measurements

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2017
The implementation of advanced guidance laws with bearings-only measurements requires estimation of the range information. To improve estimation accuracy and satisfy the impact angle constraint, this paper proposes a two-phase optimal guidance law ...

Short-Range Reentry Guidance With Impact Angle and Impact Velocity Constraints for Hypersonic Gliding Reentry Vehicle

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
In order to ensure the normal operation of the guidance system and achieve precise reentry strike, it is necessary to complete the reentry guidance in a very short range of several hundred kilometers.
