Multilayer Impedance Pump: A Bio-Inspired Valveless Pump with Medical Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This thesis introduces the concept of multilayer impedance pump, a novel pumping mechanism inspired from the embryonic heart structure. The multilayer impedance pump is a composite two-layer fluid-filled elastic tube featuring a thick, gelatin-like ...

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

A comparison of techniques to optimize measurement of voltage changes in electrical impedance tomography by minimizing phase shift errors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In electrical impedance tomography, errors due to stray capacitance may be reduced by optimization of the reference phase of the demodulator. Two possible methods, maximization of the demodulator output and minimization of reciprocity error have been ...

Mechanism of Suppressing DFIG Shafting–Grid-Connected Oscillations Through Coordinated Optimization of Dual Damping Terms Under Frequency Coupling

open access: yesEnergies
Sub-synchronous oscillations (SSOs) induced by the interaction between doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) and weak grids pose a critical threat to the grid-connected stability of DFIG-based wind power systems.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

A neural network design for black-box identification of converter impedance models in arbitrary operating conditions

open access: yes电力工程技术
The impedance-based method is favored by engineering because it can analyze system stability under conditions with the unknown device control structure or parameters.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Determining acoustical directionality in an impedance tube using multiple fixed microphones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Acoustic impedance of a port or object is a valuable piece of knowledge describing how well sound is transmitted or reflected. The commonly used slotted-line method is labourious and time consuming, requiring manual movement to find the maxima and minima
