Characterization of fungal carbonyl sulfide hydrolase belonging to clade D β‐carbonic anhydrase
Here, we performed a functional analysis of the fungal enzymes belonging to clade D of the β‐class carbonic anhydrase family (β‐D‐CA). The β‐D‐CAs in the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum and the ascomycete Trichoderma harzianum showed very low activity in the hydration of CO2 but exhibited high activity in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS ...

Model-Based Study of Creep and Recovery of a Glassy Polymer
Polyvinyl chloride specimens were subjected to three different constant loads at ambient temperature, and the creep is monitored as a function of time. After a certain time, the load was withdrawn and the strain recovery was followed with time.

A Principal-Agent Model of Systems Engineering Processes with Application to Satellite Design [PDF]
We present a principal-agent model of a one-shot, shallow, systems engineering process. The process is one-shot in the sense that decisions are made during one time step and that they are final. The term shallow refers to a one-layer hierarchy of the process.

Towards a Theory of Systems Engineering Processes: A Principal-Agent Model of a One-Shot, Shallow Process [PDF]
Systems engineering processes coordinate the effort of different individuals to generate a product satisfying certain requirements. As the involved engineers are self-interested agents, the goals at different levels of the systems engineering hierarchy may deviate from the system-level goals which may cause budget and schedule overruns.

The glacier ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus survives year‐round at 0 °C. Its ATP6 subunit, which forms a regulatory component of the proton pore in mitochondrial ATP synthase, has a carboxy‐terminal extension not found in any other organism examined to date. Here, we show that fusion of this extension to the homologous AtpB protein in E. coli results

MAPPING ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES FOR PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Integrating human factors considerations into the design of production systems can improve productivity and quality results while reducing injury risks to system operators. The researchers are currently conducting an action research study with a Canadian electronics manufacturer to improve their production system design process (PSDP), and thereby ...

An Observational Investigation of Reverse Engineers' Processes [PDF]
Reverse engineering is a complex process essential to software-security tasks such as vulnerability discovery and malware analysis. Significant research and engineering effort has gone into developing tools to support reverse engineers. However, little work has been done to understand the way reverse engineers think when analyzing programs, leaving ...

Reflecting on the Use of the Policy-Process-Product Theory in Empirical Software Engineering [PDF]
The primary theory of software engineering is that an organization's Policies and Processes influence the quality of its Products. We call this the PPP Theory. Although empirical software engineering research has grown common, it is unclear whether researchers are trying to evaluate the PPP Theory. To assess this, we analyzed half (33) of the empirical

In modular polyketide synthases, the dehydratase (DH) domain catalyzes the dehydration reaction of the β‐hydroxyacyl unit attached to the cognate acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain. However, it is unclear how DH interacts with ACP during the reaction. In this study, we identified DH–ACP interface residues, providing the first detailed insights into DH ...
