Modeling of ductile damage using numerical analyses on the micro-scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The presentation deals with a continuum damage model which has been generalized to take into account the effect of stress state on damage criteria as well as on evolution equations of damage strains.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Establish methods to improve the efficiency of tissue-free genetic transformation of medicinal plants through mechanical damage

open access: yesMedicinal Plant Biology
Medicinal plants are widely used in various fields, such as medicine, fragrance production, cosmetics and food. However, only a small number of medicinal plants can be genetically modified, making it difficult to improve these plants through genetic ...

Theoretical and numerical investigation on internal instability phenomena in composite materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Instability phenomena occurring in the microstructure of composite materials are investigated. To this aim, a complete description of the mechanical behavior of bi-material interfaces in composite materials requires the definition of both a cohesive ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Quality and Quantity Losses of Tomatoes Grown by Small-Scale Farmers Under Different Production Systems

open access: yesHorticulturae
Postharvest losses amongst small-scale farmers in developing countries are high due to inadequate resources and infrastructure. Among the various affected crops, tomatoes are particularly vulnerable; however, studies on postharvest losses of most fruits ...

The effect of resin on the impact damage tolerance of graphite-epoxy laminates [PDF]

open access: yes
The effect of the matrix resin on the impact damage tolerance of graphite-epoxy composite laminates was investigated. The materials were evaluated on the basis of the damage incurred due to local impact and on their ability to retain compression strength

Physical interpretation of the Mullins softening in a carbon-black filled SBR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A 40 phr carbon-black filled styrene butadiene rubber has been submitted to several experiments in order to identify the physical damage responsible for the mechanical softening recorded upon first stretch.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS 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.
