Amino acid metabolism conflicts with protein diversity [PDF]

, 2014
The twenty protein coding amino acids are found in proteomes with different relative abundances. The most abundant amino acid, leucine, is nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent than the least abundant amino acid, cysteine.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SUBPLATE FOR EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENTAL PLASTICITY OF THE HUMAN BRAIN

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
The human life-history is characterized by long development and introduction of new developmental stages, such as childhood and adolescence. The developing brain had important role in these life-history changes because it is expensive tissue which uses ...

Evaluating acute stress responses to height: validity of heart rate variability, respiratory markers, and competitive state anxiety inventory

Frontiers in Psychology
Despite the widespread use of height exposure in adventure-based programs to foster resilience, effectiveness has largely been evaluated through self-reported measures, with limited objective psychophysiological assessments.

Development of a Lot-Sizing Model to Prevent Heat Stress and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders

Promet (Zagreb), 2021
Management of heat stress and metabolic cost is vital for preventing any work-related disorders. In this paper, we integrated rest time formulations for heat strain and metabolic cost to develop a new lot sizing model for preventing heat exposure and ...

Improving Muscle Force Distribution Model Using Reflex Excitation: Toward a Model-Based Exoskeleton Torque Optimization Approach

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
In this study, we improve the existing model for force distribution over the muscles by considering reflex excitation as a nonvoluntary mechanism of our neuromuscular system.

Microbial metabolism: optimal control of uptake versus synthesis [PDF]

, 2014
Microbes require several complex organic molecules for growth. A species may obtain a required factor by taking up molecules released by other species or by synthesizing the molecule.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.

Biomechanical and Physiological Evaluation of a Multi-Joint Exoskeleton with Active-Passive Assistance for Walking

Biosensors, 2021
How to improve the walking efficiency while ensuring the wearability is an important issue of lower limb exoskeletons. Active devices can provide greater forces, while the passive devices have advantage in weight.
