Picture-Hanging Puzzles [PDF]

open access: yesTheory of Computing Systems, 54(4):531-550, May 2014, 2012
We show how to hang a picture by wrapping rope around n nails, making a polynomial number of twists, such that the picture falls whenever any k out of the n nails get removed, and the picture remains hanging when fewer than k nails get removed. This construction makes for some fun mathematical magic performances.

Stability of a granular layer on an inclined "fakir plane" [PDF]

open access: yesEPL 100, 34004 (2012), 2012
We present here experimental results on the effect of a forest of cylinder obstacles (nails) on the stability of a granular layer over a rough incline, in a so-called "fakir plane" configuration. The nail forest is found to increase the stability of the layer, the more for the densest array, and such an effect is recovered by a simple model taking into

Comparative Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics Analysis Reveals the Essential Roles of N-Glycans in Salt Tolerance by Modulating Protein Abundance in Arabidopsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Many pieces of evidence show that the adaptive response of plants to salt stress requires the maturation of N-glycan on associated proteins. However, it is still little known about the salt-responsive glycoproteins that function in this process.

Blue Skin, Nail, and Scleral Pigmentation Associated with Minocycline

open access: yesCase Reports in Dermatology, 2022
Minocycline, a semisynthetic derivative of tetracycline that is used to treat various infectious and noninfectious conditions, can cause tissue hyperpigmentation. The skin, oral mucosa, sclera, and rarely the nails, can all be affected. The discoloration

Comparative and evolutionary analyses of the divergence of plant oligosaccharyltransferase STT3 isoforms

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2020
STT3 is a catalytic subunit of hetero‐oligomeric oligosaccharyltransferase (OST), which is important for asparagine‐linked glycosylation. In mammals and plants, OSTs with different STT3 isoforms exhibit distinct levels of enzymatic efficiency or ...
