dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Rutting prediction models for flexible pavement structures: A review of historical and recent developments

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2021
Rutting is the major distress mode in flexible pavements occurring due to the repeated movement of traffic loading. Deformation in the pavements comprise of both recoverable (elastic) and irrecoverable (plastic) part. Overall deformation occurring in the

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Investigation of the Usability of Plastic Origin Wastes Used in the Furniture Industry in Hot Asphalt Mixture

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA, 2020
Bituminous mixes are most widely used in flexible paving construction around the world. This consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as binder) and a mixture of minerals that is blended together, coated and so compacted.
