Facilitating Intercultural Encounters with International Students: A Contribution to Inclusion and Social Network Formation

open access: yesSocial Inclusion, 2021
Higher education has become increasingly mobile and international, with many students taking the opportunity to study abroad during their studies. When they do so, forming and maintaining social networks is fundamental for their development of a sense of

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Navigating methodological decisions: balancing rigor and data volume of the Canadian Living Planet Index

open access: yesFACETS
The Living Planet Index (LPI)—a biodiversity indicator that assesses the relative change of aggregate vertebrate abundance data—is an indicator used in global and national biodiversity monitoring frameworks.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

English speakers in outer-circle and expanding-circle settings

open access: yesJournal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2019
Abstract Drawing upon Kachru's concentric circles of English, the present study explores whether middle-class Japanese students who chose to study English solo at private language schools in Singapore diverge from many others who (wish to) study inner-circle English.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Camera‐trapping version 3.0: current constraints and future priorities for development

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Camera traps are a widely used tool in wildlife research and conservation, but in situ factors such as theft, poor performance in extreme environments and damage by wildlife may be hindering the effectiveness of the technology.

Higgsing and twisting of 6d D N gauge theories

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We propose Type IIB 5-brane configurations that engineer the 6d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) SCFTs with SO(N) gauge symmetry coupled to a single tensor multiplet on a circle, by considering RG flows on Higgs branches of D-type conformal matter theories ...

The Variations in Verb-Preposition Combinations in the GloWbE Corpus and Its Usage in Informal Englishes

open access: yesREiLA, 2021
This paper is based on the Corpus of Global Web-based English (GloWbE) which was compiled by Mark Davies in 2013. The GloWbE corpus consists of web data from 20 different English speaking countries.
