Constructal law of vascular trees for facilitation of flow. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Diverse tree structures such as blood vessels, branches of a tree and river basins exist in nature. The constructal law states that the evolution of flow structures in nature has a tendency to facilitate flow.

Comparing Imperfection Ratio and Imperfection Index for Graph Classes

open access: yes, 2005
Perfect graphs constitute a well-studied graph class with a rich structure, reflected by many characterizations with respect to different concepts.

A note on imperfect hedging: a method for testing stability of the hedge ratio

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013
Companies producing, processing and consuming commodities in the production process often hedge their commodity expositions using derivative strategies based on different, highly correlated underlying commodities. Once the open position in a commodity is hedged using a derivative position with another underlying commodity, the appropriate hedge ratio ...

Choice of step and near step profiles from splice loss analysis of trapezoidal index single mode fibers leading to a proposal of a longitudinal displacement sensor

open access: yesResults in Optics, 2023
In this paper, an in-depth investigation is carried out on the effect of aspect ratio on splice loss between a pair of identical single mode trapezoidal index fibers in the presence of longitudinal and transverse misalignments.

Imperfect reference standards cause biased likelihood ratios

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation
In a study of the diagnostic accuracy of a quantitative biomarker, the researcher compares the concentration of the biomarker in patients with and without the disease in question. The diagnosis must be set without knowledge of the biomarker concentration, using the best reference standard available.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

An Analysis of elastic and inelastic lateral torsional buckling of web-tapered I beams using the finite element method

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
Elastic and inelastic lateral torsional buckling of simply web tapered I beam is studied using the finite element method. The length of the beams is 8000 mm for elastic lateral torsional buckling and 4000 mm for inelastic lateral torsional buckling.

Salmonella enterica serovar typhi limits the potency of typhoid toxin and ADP‐ribosylating toxin AB to establish a persistent infection

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The two catalytic subunits of typhoid toxin dissociate from the holotoxin in the ER of an intoxicated cell, but only CdtB exits the ER to generate immunosuppressive effects. PltA is retained in the ER and sequestered from its cytosolic target, thus allowing the anti‐inflammatory effects of CdtB to promote intestinal colonization.

New robust design guideline for Imperfection sensitive composite launcher Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Up to today there are no design guidelines which allow designing imperfection sensitive CFRP structures in an efficient way. The upcoming EU project DESICOS (New Robust DESIgn Guideline for Imperfection Sensitive COmposite Launcher Structures ...
