Science in the Performance Stratum: Hunting for Higgs and Nature as Performance

open access: yes, 2014
Recent traditions such as posthumanism and new materialism propose that non- humans and matter are active participants in processes of signification, so that humans do not give meaning to matter, but matter and meaning co-constitute each other.

The pyruvate generator is a common phenomenon in mitochondria from different rat and mouse brain regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The pyruvate generator, which causes activation of respiration by extra‐mitochondrial Ca2+, is also present and functional in rat brainstem mitochondria, as it is in other brain regions. This finding is confirmed by experiments with a fully reconstituted malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS).

A performance metric for production planning systems evaluation

open access: yes, 2003
The evaluation of production planning system performances is an important issue both in the academic and in the industrial world. Metrics for performance and value assessment are thus a relevant applied research field. This paper tries to define a group

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Ubiquitination of secretory granules promotes their crinophagic degradation in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ubiquitination of secretory granules in Drosophila larval salivary glands is a critical molecular trigger for crinophagy, the lysosomal degradation of unreleased, or low‐quality granules. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Cnot4 is recruited to the surface of secretory granules to induce crinophagy.

FIT MANUFACTURING: PRODUCTION FITNESS AS THE MEASURE OF PRODUCTION OPERATIONS PERFORMANCE

open access: yes, 2011
Rapid changes in market demands have resulted in manufacturing companies having to remain competitive in order to survive. Therefore, a combination of manufacturing capabilities, such as leanness, flexibility, agility, responsiveness, and sustainability,

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
