Arch dam point cloud segmentation based on deep feature learning and normal vector data optimization

Scientific Reports
Separating the dam body, spillway, and other structures from the point cloud in the dam area is an important step in dam deformation monitoring. Manual segmentation is time consuming and inaccurate.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Infrastructural justice for responsible software engineering,

Journal of Responsible Technology
In recent years, we have seen many examples of software products unintentionally causing demonstrable harm. Many guidelines for ethical and responsible computing have been developed in response. Dominant approaches typically attribute liability and blame to individual companies or actors, rather than understanding how the working practices, norms, and ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

An Equivalent Model for Cooling Tower Boundary Conditions in Industrial Recirculating Cooling Water Systems

Energies
To mitigate the risks of pressure surges and water hammer during accidental pump trips in industrial cooling water systems, accurate boundary modeling of cooling towers is essential. This study employs the Method of Characteristics (MOC) to evaluate four

Software Engineering and Digital Research Infrastructures

2018 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Science (e-Science), 2018
Sustainable management of research software and the application of software engineering principles are one of the biggest challenges that the operation of digital Research Infrastructures face in the Social Sciences and Humanities community. We give an overview of our approach to apply state of the art industry standards for research software, and ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Response of nitrogen emissions to land use changes and driving forces analysis in Jiangxi province under multiple scenarios

Scientific Reports
In recent decades, accelerated economic growth has positioned non-point source pollution as a critical threat to China’s ecological security. Jiangxi Province, a pivotal ecological barrier in the middle-lower Yangtze River Basin, confronts escalating ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...
