Glacial landforms are abundant in the North Sea basin and are often used to reconstruct the impact and dynamics of ice sheets during the Pleistocene. Geophysical methods have allowed the mapping and structural analysis of glacial landforms at the surface and in the subsurface to estimate the position of former ice margins in the North Sea. However, the

One-hit wonders of genomic instability [PDF]
Recent data show that cells from many cancers exhibit massive chromosome instability. The traditional view is that the gradual accumulation of mutations in genes involved in transcriptional regulation and cell cycle controls results in tumor development.

Self-Aligning Finger Exoskeleton for the Mobilization of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint [PDF]
In the context of hand and finger rehabilitation, kinematic compatibility is key for the acceptability and clinical exploitation of robotic devices. Different kinematic chain solutions have been proposed in the state of the art, with different trade ...

Design and Validation of a Self-Aligning Index Finger Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of hand functions is necessary to improve post-stroke patients’ quality of life. There is initial evidence that hand exoskeletons should exercise flexion/extension (f/e) and abduction/adduction (a/a) of the fingers to rebuild hand ...

Ipl1/aurora kinase suppresses S-CDK-driven spindle formation during prophase I to ensure chromosome integrity during meiosis [PDF]
Cells coordinate spindle formation with DNA repair and morphological modifications to chromosomes prior to their segregation to prevent cell division with damaged chromosomes.

Delta robot is typically mounted on a frame and performs high speed pick and place tasks from top to bottom. Because of its outstanding accelerating capability and higher center of mass, the Delta robot can generate significant frame vibration. Existing trajectory smoothing methods mainly focus on vibration reduction for the robot instead of the frame,

Insights into antitrypanosomal drug mode-of-action from cytology-based profiling [PDF]
Chemotherapy continues to have a major impact on reducing the burden of disease caused by trypanosomatids. Unfortunately though, the mode-of-action (MoA) of antitrypanosomal drugs typically remains unclear or only partially characterised.
