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 ...

Full-Reference Calibration-Free Image Quality Assessment

open access: yes, 2022
<p>The paper proposes the use of a scoring function which is inspired to fundamental principles and theoretical constraints and is parametrized by the viewing distance. The common final step of image quality assessment methods is the mapping of an objective metric onto a subjective scale using a parametric, empirical non-linear scoring function ...

A Style Transfer-Based Fast Image Quality Assessment Method for Image Sensors

open access: yesSensors
Accurate image quality evaluation is essential for optimizing sensor performance and enhancing the fidelity of visual data. The concept of “image style” encompasses the overall visual characteristics of an image, including elements such as colors ...

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

A proposal project for a blind image quality assessment by learning distortions from the full reference image quality assessments [PDF]

open access: yes2012 Fourth International Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Experience, 2012
This short paper presents a perspective plan to build a null reference image quality assessment. Its main goal is to deliver both the objective score and the distortion map for a given distorted image without the knowledge of its reference image.

Blind Image Quality Assessment of Natural Scenes Based on Entropy Differences in the DCT Domain

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
Blind/no-reference image quality assessment is performed to accurately evaluate the perceptual quality of a distorted image without prior information from a reference image.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Quality Assessment of 3D Printed Surfaces Using Combined Metrics Based on Mutual Structural Similarity Approach Correlated with Subjective Aesthetic Evaluation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Quality assessment of the 3D printed surfaces is one of the crucial issues related to fast prototyping and manufacturing of individual parts and objects using the fused deposition modeling, especially in small series production.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
