The Effect of Refined Separation on the Properties of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Materials

Buildings
Refined separation not only controls the variability of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), but also improves the mixing ratio of RAP and the quality of recycled asphalt mixtures.

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Characterization of subgrade soil mixed with recycled asphalt pavement

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2018
Due to awareness to greener environment, use of recycled asphalt material has become popular in asphalt pavement industry. The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in subgrade soil can be an additional scope of utilizing RAP.

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

Comprehensive Assessment of Nano-Silica Modified Asphalt Mixtures: Influence of RAP Content, Aging, and Performance Characteristics [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering
Using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures is common for improving sustainability, but it can lower performance because of the aging and hardening of RAP binder. Aged RAP is stiffer, less flexible, and more prone to cracking.

Iron homeostasis disruption and lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle during short‐term immobilization

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
14‐day casting‐induced immobilization reduced gastrocnemius muscle mass and increased non‐heme iron and ferritin heavy chain levels. Despite iron accumulation, transferrin receptor 1 and iron regulatory protein 2 were paradoxically upregulated. Lipid peroxidation was elevated without compensatory antioxidant responses.

Single rapamycin administration induces prolonged downward shift in defended body weight in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Manipulation of body weight set point may be an effective weight loss and maintenance strategy as the homeostatic mechanism governing energy balance remains intact even in obese conditions and counters the effort to lose weight.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Virtual rap dancer

CHI '06 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2006
This paper presents a virtual rap dancer that is able to dance to the beat of music coming in from music recordings, beats obtained from music, voice or other input through a microphone, motion beats detected in the video stream of a human dancer, or motions detected from a dance mat. The rap dancer’s moves are generated from a lexicon that was derived

Enhancing Oncological Care for India's Aging Population: Addressing the Complex Needs of Older Adults With Cancer

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Aging‐associated physiological and molecular alterations pose significant challenges in cancer management among India's elderly. Limited geriatric oncology expertise, financial constraints, and inadequate specialized care exacerbate disparities. Strategic expansion of insurance coverage, integration of palliative care, and infrastructural advancements ...
