Purcell’s Three-Link Swimmer: Assessment of Geometry and Gaits for Optimal Displacement and Efficiency

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
This paper studies the displacement and efficiency of a Purcell’s three-link microswimmer in low Reynolds number regime, capable of moving by the implementation of a motion primitive or gait.

Examples of noncommutative manifolds: complex tori and spherical manifolds

open access: yes, 2007
We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the differential geometry

Homotopy K3's with several symplectic structures

open access: yes, 2001
In this note we prove that, for any integer n, there exist a smooth 4-manifold, homotopic to a K3 surface, defined by applying the link surgery method of Fintushel-Stern to a certain 2-component graph link, which admits n inequivalent symplectic ...

Wind Direction Retrieval Using Spaceborne GNSS-R in Nonspecular Geometry

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
A wind direction retrieval algorithm using spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) in nonspecular geometry is presented. This article first focuses on investigating the influence of wind direction on the scattering strength ...

Reeb orbits and the minimal discrepancy of an isolated singularity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Let A be an affine variety inside a complex N dimensional vector space which has an isolated singularity at the origin. The intersection of A with a very small sphere turns out to be a contact manifold called the link of A.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Noncommutative Schwarzschild geometry and generalized uncertainty principle

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
We discuss a possible link between the deformation parameter $$\Theta ^{\mu \nu }$$ Θμν arising in the framework of noncommutative geometry and the parameter $$\beta $$ β of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). We compute the shift of the Hawking

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 ...
