, 2017 Despite the popularity of local economic development (LED) as a job creation and economic growth strategy in South Africa, many LED projects have not proved to be sustainable in the long-run, especially where human systems interact with biological ones ...

Distributed localization in cluttered underwater environments
Proceedings of the Fifth ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks - WUWNet '10, 2010 Mapping and exploration of closed fluid tanks, such as nuclear waste storage tanks and water sewage treatment ponds, by a swarm of underwater robots requires them to be aware of their positions, as they traverse the depths of the tank. This paper considers the challenges faced in localizing robots using reference-based localization in such clutter ...

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.

Partitioned environments for visual localization
2018 26th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2018 In this paper, we present a novel sequential visual localization algorithm in partitioned route. The algorithm utilizes Monte-Carlo for accurate visual localization. Partitioning the route into several regions produces higher accuracy along with lower computational cost. Each of the regions is represented using independent maps. We use bag-of-words for

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

“By and for local people”: Assessing the connection between local energy plans and community energy
, 2019 “Community energy” (CE) is argued to be an opportunity to transition to low-carbon energy systems while creating additional benefits for local communities. CE is defined as energy initiatives that place a high degree of emphasis on participation of local

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
