Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS 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+.

A frailty index derived from a standardized comprehensive geriatric assessment predicts mortality and aged residential care admission

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2018
Background Frailty in older adults is a condition characterised by a loss or reduction in physiological reserve resulting in increased clinical vulnerability.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Loveless. Minimum Dwelling and Its Discontents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Minimum dwelling commonly refers to an extremely reduced space for living, and as such it is associated with typologies such as the micro-flat, the micro-house or the studio-apartment.

Preventive Home Visits for Mortality, Morbidity, and Institutionalization in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Home visits for older adults aim to prevent cognitive and functional impairment, thus reducing institutionalization and mortality. Visitors may provide information, investigate untreated problems, encourage medication compliance, and ...

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Day-to-Day Variability and Year-to-Year Reproducibility of Accelerometer-Measured Free-Living Sit-to-Stand Transitions Volume and Intensity among Community-Dwelling Older Adults

open access: yesSensors, 2021
(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the day-to-day variability and year-to-year reproducibility of an accelerometer-based algorithm for sit-to-stand (STS) transitions in a free-living environment among community-dwelling older ...

Spatial Characteristics and Transition of ‘Minimum Dwelling’ in Japan

open access: yesKIEAE Journal, 2019
Purpose: Currently, housing problems are very important part of the social task to be solved. And one of the ways to solve these housing problems is that Minimum Dwelling is becoming a trend of residential. Therefore this paper analyzed the space, and examined the characteristics and changes of the space. Method: Since the modern era, the transition of

Graph-Based Minimum Dwell Time and Average Dwell Time Computations for Discrete-Time Switched Linear Systems

open access: yesCoRR, 2014
Discrete-time switched linear systems where switchings are governed by a digraph are considered. The minimum (or average) dwell time that guarantees the asymptotic stability can be computed by calculating the maximum cycle ratio (or maximum cycle mean) of a doubly weighted digraph where weights depend on the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of subsystem ...

Minimum energy-maximum space:higher-density attached family housing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In 2016 all new houses in England and Wales must be zero carbon. To date most work in zero carbon housing has been carried out on detached family housing typologies.
