Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most dangerous and prevalent agents that causes acute and chronic liver diseases in humans. Genotyping plays an important role in determining clinical outcomes and response to antiviral treatment in HBV–infected ...

Excitation of multiple 2-mode parametric resonances by a single driven mode
, 2017 We demonstrate autoparametric excitation of two distinct sub-harmonic mechanical modes by the same driven mechanical mode corresponding to different drive frequencies within its resonance dispersion band. This experimental observation is used to motivate

Population genetics of trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense: clonality and diversity within and between foci [PDF]
, 2013 African trypanosomes are unusual among pathogenic protozoa in that they can undergo their complete morphological life cycle in the tsetse fly vector with mating as a non-obligatory part of this development.

Analysis and elimination of hysteresis and noisy precursors in power amplifiers [PDF]
, 2006 Power amplifiers (PAs) often exhibit instabilities leading to frequency division by two or oscillations at incommensurate frequencies. This undesired behavior can be detected through a large-signal stability analysis of the solution.

Bridge expansion joint in road transition curve: effects assessment on heavy vehicles [PDF]
, 2017 Properly-designed road surfaces provide a durable surface on which traffic can pass smoothly and safely. In fact, the main causes that determine the structural decay of the pavement and its parts are the traffic loads.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
