Wind Direction Retrieval Using Spaceborne GNSS-R in Nonspecular Geometry

IEEE 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 ...

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.

Noncommutative Schwarzschild geometry and generalized uncertainty principle

European 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

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Shape and fluctuations of frustrated self-assembled nano ribbons

Nature Communications, 2019
Supramolecular assemblies achieve nontrivial structures but there is no general framework to link their formation to molecular properties. Here the authors propose a model that relates molecular geometry and interactions to nanoribbon formation ...

Application of hyperbolic geometry in link prediction of multiplex networks [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractRecently multilayer networks are introduced to model real systems. In these models the individuals make connection in multiple layers. Transportation networks, biological systems and social networks are some examples of multilayer networks.
