Ground Settlement-Induced Building Damage Assessment With Modified Lanczos Algorithm and Extreme Learning Machine

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Construction, tunneling, and other urban anthropogenic activities strain neighboring buildings through distortion and rotation on both the surface and underground, resulting in instability of the local geological structure.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Uncertainty-aware machine learning to predict non-cancer human toxicity for the global chemicals market

Nature Communications
Humans are exposed to thousands of chemicals, yet limited toxicity data hinder effective management of their impacts on human health. High-performing machine learning models hold potential for addressing this gap, but their uncharacterized prediction ...

Risk assessment of water inrush caused by karst cave in tunnels based on reliability and GA-BP neural network

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
In order to evaluate the risk level of water inrush caused by karst cave accurately and effectively, a novel quantitative assessment model was established based on the reliability theory and genetic algorithm-back propagation (GA-BP) neural network ...

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

FEBS 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 ...

Defect Width Assessment Based on the Near-Field Magnetic Flux Leakage Method

Sensors, 2021
Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing has been widely used as a non-destructive testing method for various materials. However, it is difficult to separate the influences of the defect geometrical parameters such as depth, width, and length on the received ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
