Measuring democracy among ordinary citizens—Challenges to studying democratic ideals

open access: yesFrontiers in Political Science, 2022
The article addresses the methodological challenges in measuring democratic ideals on an individual level in quantitative studies. Building upon own empirical research, the study identifies several difficulties in assessing individuals' attitudes on ...

Understanding Behaviors of Attendance in Supplemental Instruction and Subsequent Academic Success in a First Year Engineering Course [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As student retention and four-year graduation rates are of institutional and national interest and frequently referred metrics for college success, the Supplemental Instruction (SI) program aims to reduce D’s, F’s and Q drop rates in historically ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Navigating the paradigm shift of sex inclusive preclinical research and lessons learnt

open access: yesCommunications Biology
After thirty years of research highlighting the risk of the sex bias in preclinical research, we now have tangible change happening in the research landscape with a rapid increase in the proportions of studies including female and male subjects.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

A quantitative approach to data-collection strategies [PDF]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D Biological Crystallography, 2005
Statistical descriptors of the X-ray diffraction data set for a macromolecular crystal can be modelled using the information present in the initial diffraction images. Quantitative relationships between the crystal quality, beam apertures, oscillation width, resolution limit, redundancy and the data statistics are presented.

Quantitative hierarchical representation and comparison of hand grasps from electromyography and kinematic data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Motivation: Modeling human grasping and hand movements is important for robotics, prosthetics and rehabilitation. Several qualitative taxonomies of hand grasps have been proposed in scientific literature.
