LEAN SIX SIGMA IN HEALTHCARE: SOME SOBERING THOUGHTS ON IMPLEMENTATION [PDF]
Proceedings on Engineering Sciences, 2022 Lean Management and Six Sigma (LSS) concepts originated in manufacturing but later it was adopted by service industries including healthcare. This work explores several issues arising while implementing LSS in a healthcare organization by taking ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

The Role of Information Technology in Operating Cost and Operational Efficiency of Banks: An Application of Frontier Efficiency Analysis [PDF]
, 2009 [[abstract]]This study explores how information technology, operating cost, and operational efficiency are related to each other in banking. It is well known that the adoption of information technology can reduce organizational operating cost and improve

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Higher-degree stochastic dominance optimality and efficiency
, 2017 We characterize a range of Stochastic Dominance (SD) relations by means of finite systems of convex inequalities. For ‘SD optimality’ of degree 1 to 4 and ‘SD efficiency’ of degree 2 to 5, we obtain exact systems that can be implemented using Linear ...
