Development of a multi-criteria decision tool for the plastics industry – A case study on post-consumer polypropylene packaging material

Sustainable Environment
The circular economy seeks to retain valuable materials within the recycling loop and aims to minimize resource losses. Packaging materials, due to their short service life, constitute a major portion of the waste stream, while the availability of ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Comparative Evaluation of In Situ U-Value Measurement Techniques of an External Wall in a Multi-Method Field Study

Energies
Accurate knowledge of the thermal transmittance (U-value) of existing building envelopes is essential for reliable energy performance assessment and the planning of energy-efficient refurbishment measures.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Influence and Potential of Additive Manufactured Reference Geometries for Ultrasonic Testing

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
This study researches and discusses the impact of different manufacturing-induced effects of additive manufacturing (AM), such as anisotropy on sound propagation and attenuation, on the production of test specimens for ultrasonic testing (UT).

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.

Determination of the effects of the rebar-cement bond parameters variation in UHPFRC using FA and ANN [PDF]

Science of Sintering
The experimental study included the design and production of ultra-high performance steel fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). The physical and mechanical properties of UHPFRC were investigated in a laboratory setting.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

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.

Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of TA11 Titanium Alloy

Journal of Aeronautical Materials, 2017
The conventional fatigue test method was used to obtain the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) limits of 3×107 and 1×108 cycles for TA11 titanium alloy in different temperatures and stress ratios.
