Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

SmallTalk: a novel small‐sized fusion tag for peptide expression and purification

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The SmallTalk fusion tag allows for the efficient expression and purification of soluble recombinant proteins or peptides in Escherichia coli. Testing with SmallTalk‐GFP confirmed that the proteins were soluble and folded correctly, while SmallTalk‐Bin1b maintained its antimicrobial activity against various bacterial isolates. This streamlined workflow

Pavement crack image acquisition methods and crack extraction algorithms: A review

open access: yesJournal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2019
The extraction of pavement cracks is always a hard task in image processing. In airport and road construction, cracking is the main factor for pavement damage, which can decrease the quality of pavement and affect transportation seriously.

Monitoring Asphalt Pavement Aging and Damage Conditions from Low-Altitude UAV Imagery Based on a CNN Approach

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2021
Conventional methods for monitoring pavement healthy states have the disadvantages of low efficiency and being time-consuming and destructive. Current studies indicate that traditional machine learning algorithms showed poor performance and low ...

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Mechanical Analysis of Preventing Reflection Cracks Based on Stress Absorbing Layer

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
After asphalt concrete overlay, the reflection crack in the old pavement remains a great challenge. In order to overcome this problem, here, we report the effect of stress absorbing layer on the reflection crack.

BMI‐1 modulation and trafficking during M phase in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The schematic illustrates BMI‐1 phosphorylation during M phase, which triggers its translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In cycling cells, BMI‐1 functions within the PRC1 complex to mediate H2A K119 monoubiquitination. Following PTC596‐induced M phase arrest, phosphorylated BMI‐1 dissociates from PRC1 and is exported to the cytoplasm via its

Contributions to predicting contaminant leaching from secondary materials used in roads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Slags, coal ashes, and other secondary materials can be used in road construction. Both traditional and secondary materials used in roads may contain contaminants that may leach and pollute the groundwater.

Opportunistic sensing for road pavement monitoring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Road surface state monitoring is of main concern for road infrastructure owners. Hence dedicated measurement campaigns using laser scanning and image analysis are performed on a regular basis. Yet, this type of monitoring comes at a high labor cost
