Formulation, analysis and solution algorithms for a model of gradient plasticity within a discontinuous Galerkin framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-239).An investigation of a model of gradient plasticity in which the classical von Mises yield function is augmented by a term involving the Laplacian of the equivalent plastic strain is presented. The theory

Formulating reduced density gradient approaches for noncovalent interactions [PDF]

open access: yes
This work elucidates several forms of reduced electron density gradient (RDG) to describe non-covalent interactions (NCIs). By interpreting the RDG as a local-moment function, we systematically leveraged Weizacker\u27s and Fermi\u27s local moments.

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Development of detection method for the generating state of maximun friction force on CVT belt

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019
Vehicles with a metal belt-type continuously variable transmission(CVT) that can run under optimal engine fuel consumption conditions have been popular. However, the CVT unit itself can improve in terms of the efficiency. This is possible as the clamping

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Crack inhibition and crystallographic texture control in an additively manufactured IN738LC Ni-based superalloy

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
The additive manufacturing of directionally solidified Ni-based superalloys remains a significant challenge due to the formation of stray equiaxed grains and their high susceptibility to cracking, particularly for high-volume γ´-type Ni-based superalloys.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Dynamics of variable-viscosity nanofluid flow with heat transfer in a flexible vertical tube under propagating waves

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2017
Background and objectives: The present investigation addresses nanofluid flow and heat transfer in a vertical tube with temperature-dependent viscosity. A Tiwari-Das type formulation is employed for the nanofluid with a viscosity modification.
