Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

The Influence of Abaca Fiber Treated with Sodium Hydroxide on the Deformation Coefficients Cc, Cs, and Cv of Organic Soils

Fibers
This study shows the influence of the inclusion of abaca fiber (Musa Textilis) on the coefficients of consolidation, expansion, and compression for normally consolidated clayey silt organic soil specimens using reconstituted samples.

An Investigation of Time-Dependent Deformation Characteristics of Soft Dredger Fill

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
The creep characteristics of soft clays have been studied for decades. However, the lateral deformation of soils is not allowed during the commonly used one-dimensional consolidation tests, which cannot describe the real deformation features of soils in ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Boosting Long-term Memory via Wakeful Rest: Intentional Rehearsal is not Necessary, Automatic Consolidation is Sufficient.

, 2014
People perform better on tests of delayed free recall if learning is followed immediately by a short wakeful rest than by a short period of sensory stimulation.

Large strain consolidation analyses of fine tailings disposal in mining pits

REM: International Engineering Journal, 2020
Herein, three-dimensional analyses of large strain consolidation applied to tail ings disposal in mining pits is studied. The main goal is to estimate filling time and, ac cordingly, the capacity of the pit.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Consolidation Theory and Application of Double-Layered Foundation for Fiber-Reinforced Solidified Lightweight Soil

Buildings
Firstly, based on one-dimensional Terzaghi consolidation theory, we derived and established the analytical solution of excess pore water pressure and average consolidation degree of double-layered foundation, which can reflect the effect of fiber ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.
