Layer of Protection Analysis

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2014
AbstractA process hazard analysis (PHA), such as a Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), is a useful tool in identifying potential hazard scenarios; however, a PHA can only give a qualitative indication of whether sufficient safeguards exist to mitigate the hazards. Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a risk management technique commonly used in the

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Surface fatigue microcracks in turbocompressor blades of a turboshaft engine

open access: yesApplied and Computational Mechanics
Rescue and military helicopters are sometimes exposed to extraordinary operating conditions. Such loading can cause non-standard fatigue defects with very specific types of failure.

Do topology and ferromagnetism cooperate at the EuS/Bi$_2$Se$_3$ interface?

open access: yes, 2019
We probe the local magnetic properties of interfaces between the insulating ferromagnet EuS and the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ using low energy muon spin rotation (LE-$\mu$SR).

The S-layer protein DR_2577 binds deinoxanthin and under desiccation conditions protects against UV-radiation in Deinococcus radiodurans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Deinococcus radiodurans has the puzzling ability to withstand over a broad range of extreme conditions including high doses of ultraviolet radiation and deep desiccation.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Engineering of carbon and other protective coating layers for stabilizing silicon anode materials

open access: yesCarbon Energy, 2019
Silicon (Si) has been attracting extensive attention for rechargeable lithium (Li)‐ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and low potential vs Li/Li+.

Comparison of sputtering and atomic layer deposition based ultra-thin alumina protective layers for high temperature surface acoustic wave devices

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) can be used as passive wireless sensors in high temperature environments. For such applications, protective layers are crucial and important for the SAW sensors.
