NEW INSIGHTS ON THE GALACTIC BULGE INITIAL MASS FUNCTION [PDF]

, 2015
We have derived the Galactic bulge initial mass function (IMF) of the Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Planet Search field in the mass range 0.15 < M / M ⊙ ?> 1.0, using deep photometry collected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble ...

Computing the probability mass function of the maximum flow through a reliable network [PDF]

In this paper we propose a fast state-space enumeration based algorithm called TOP-DOWN capable of computing the probability mass function of the maximum s-t flow through reliable networks.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Mass Spectrometry Imaging with Isomeric Resolution Enabled by Ozone-Induced Dissociation

, 2018
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables the spatial distributions of molecules possessing different mass-to-charge ratios to be mapped within complex environments revealing regional changes at the molecular level.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Sarcopenia: Aging-Related Loss of Muscle Mass and Function.

Physiological Reviews, 2019
Sarcopenia is a loss of muscle mass and function in the elderly that reduces mobility, diminishes quality of life, and can lead to fall-related injuries, which require costly hospitalization and extended rehabilitation.

Proteomic tools to study drug function [PDF]

, 2018
With the ever growing repertoire of drugs being developed, new unbiased methods are urgently needed that allow fast screening of protein targets and off-targets.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

The interdependence between density PDF, CMF, and IMF and their relation with Mach number in simulations

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The initial mass function (IMF) of stars and the corresponding cloud mass function (CMF), traditionally considered universal, exhibit variations that are influenced by the local environment.
