Analysis of the Dynamic Active Earth Pressure from c-φ Backfill Considering the Amplification Effect of Seismic Acceleration

open access: yesApplied Sciences
This study extends the method of pseudo-dynamic analysis based on the Mononobe-Okabe (M-O) method by comprehensively incorporating the seismic acceleration response characteristics of backfill soil and the cohesive properties of the fill.

Exploring the Barriers to Managing Green Building Construction Projects and Proposed Solutions

open access: yes
Sustainability has gained importance in the building design/construction industry due to the increase in the need for energy, the extensive use of non-renewable resources, and therefore the damage caused to the environment by traditional building design ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Comparison Study of Novel Flat Evaporator Loop Heat Pipes with Different Types of Condensation Pipeline

open access: yesEnergies
Chip-level cooling has become a thermal bottleneck in next-generation data centers. Although previous studies have optimized evaporator wick structures, they are limited to a single condensation path and ignore the combined effects of the loop heat pipe (
