Cubic ice Ic without stacking defects obtained from ice XVII [PDF]

open access: yesNature Materials, 2020
Amongst the more than 18 different forms of water ice, only the common hexagonal phase and the cubic phase are present in nature on Earth. Nonetheless, it is now widely recognized that all samples of 'cubic ice' discovered so far do not have a fully cubic crystal structure but instead are stacking-disordered forms of ice I (namely, ice Isd), which ...

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 ...

A Wind Tunnel Experimental Study on the Icing Characteristics of a Cylinder Rotating around a Vertical Axis

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Rotating machinery in cold and humid regions is prone to icing. For exploring the characteristics of icing on objects rotating around a vertical axis, such as vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT), a cylinder rotating around the vertical axis was selected ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Calculation of impact characteristics and icing phase transitions of salty droplets

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao
When ships and offshore platforms work in extremely cold and harsh maritime environments, sea spray is the main reason to cause their superstructure to be frozen. In this paper, sea spray is simplified as salty liquid water droplets. Based on the NNW-ICE

Numerical Simulation of Ice Crystal Supercooled Droplet Mixed Phase Icing Based on the Improved Messinger Model

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2023
The ice crystal supercooled droplet mixed phase icing problem is an important research direction in aircraft icing and has received more attention in recent years.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

On the Fidelity of RANS-Based Turbulence Models in Modeling the Laminar Separation Bubble and Ice-Induced Separation Bubble at Low Reynolds Numbers on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Airfoil

open access: yesDrones
The operational regime of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is distinguished by the dominance of laminar flow and the flow field is characterized by the appearance of Laminar Separation Bubbles (LSBs). Ice accretion on the leading side of the airfoil leads

Experimental Heat Loads for Electrothermal Anti-Icing and De-Icing on UAVs

open access: yesAerospace, 2021
Atmospheric in-flight icing on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a significant hazard. UAVs that are not equipped with ice protection systems are usually limited to operations within visual line of sight or to weather conditions without icing risk.
