Towards homeostatic architecture: simulation of the generative process of a termite mound construction [PDF]

, 2008
This report sets out to the theme of the generation of a ‘living’, homeostatic and self-organizing architectural structure. The main research question this project addresses is what innovative techniques of design, construction and materials could ...

Interplay between circadian and other transcription factors—Implications for cycling transcriptome reprogramming

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Evaluation of lime plaster on masonry walls in historical buildings prior to renovation

Budownictwo i Architektura
This study analysed a quantitative assessment of the adhesion of lime plasters to the substrate in a historic neo-Gothic building. The diagnostics of the plasters were conducted to preserve their large surface area due to their historical value. The use

Multi-Nozzle Biopolymer Deposition for Freeform Fabrication of Tissue Constructs [PDF]

, 2004
Advanced freeform fabrication techniques have been recently used for the construction of tissue scaffolds because of the process repeatability and capability of high accuracy in fabrication resolution at the macro and micro scales.

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...

Exploring the Charge Localization and Band Gap Opening of Borophene: A First-Principles Study

, 2017
Recently synthesized two-dimensional (2D) boron, borophene, exhibits a novel metallic behavior rooted in the s-p orbital hybridization, distinctively different from other 2D materials such as sulfides/selenides and semi-metallic graphene.

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Synthesis of MnO2–CuO–Fe2O3/CNTs catalysts: low-temperature SCR activity and formation mechanism

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2019
MnO2–CuO–Fe2O3/CNTs catalysts, as a low-dimensional material, were fabricated by a mild redox strategy and used in denitration reactions. A formation mechanism of the catalysts was proposed. NO conversions of 4% MnO2–CuO–Fe2O3/CNTs catalyst of 43.1–87.9%

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
