Recycling High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) into construction materials as a key step in plastic waste reduction: case of Kigali City

Rwanda Journal of Engineering Science Technology and Environment, 2018
Plastic wastes are increasing at an alarming rate and adversely affecting environment as they are not easily degraded. Worse still, roads along with parking yards have significantly shorter design life and so do other alternative road paving techniques ...

Insights into pegRNA design from editing of the cardiomyopathy‐associated phospholamban R14del mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) secondary structure and reverse transcriptase template length affect prime editing efficiency in correcting the phospholamban R14del cardiomyopathy‐associated mutation. Insights support the design of structurally optimized enhanced pegRNAs for precise gene therapy.

Strength, sustainability and affordability of bamboo and mud bricks as materials used in local construction

Rwanda Journal of Engineering Science Technology and Environment, 2019
The construction industry is one of the rapidly growing and the cost analysis suggests that the materials cost is constantly increasing. The continuous extraction of aggregates intensively used in the field is negatively acting to the environment ...

TRAF2 binds to TIFA via a novel motif and contributes to its autophagic degradation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TRAF family members couple receptor signalling complexes to downstream outputs, but how they interact with these complexes is not always clear. Here, we show that during ADP‐heptose signalling, TRAF2 binding to TIFA requires two short sequence motifs in the C‐terminal tail of TIFA, which are distinct from the TRAF6 binding motif.

New Cement-Based Materials for Engine Construction

Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1987
A study of new and unconventional materials for use in engine construction highlighted several interesting developments. One which stood out as providing useful physical properties at low cost was the cement-based material known as NIMS. A design study for a cylinder block molded from this material was undertaken and a novel construction method devised.

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
