An investigation of the possible extent of the re-spending rebound effect in the sphere of consumer products [PDF]

, 2002
A key method used to reduce the environmental impact of a product is to make it more energy efficient. Previous studies have found that the potential benefits from improved efficiency are often at least partially negated by increased use of the product.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Mechanical properties of re-packed reinforced Earth embankment during service stage

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022
Problems of large settlements and uneven settlements on the road always happen during service stage. Reinforced embankments can reduce these problems. But currently the study on the mechanical properties of reinforced embankments during service stage are

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

UKERC Review of evidence for the rebound effect: Technical report 3: Elasticity of substitution studies [PDF]

, 2007
This Working Paper forms part of the TPA’s assessment of evidence for a rebound effect from improved energy efficiency. Technical Report 3 focuses upon empirical estimates of the elasticity of substitution between energy and capital.

Resurgence of HIV infection among men who have sex with men in Switzerland : mathematical modelling study [PDF]

, 2012
New HIV infections in men who have sex with men (MSM) have increased in Switzerland since 2000 despite combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The objectives of this mathematical modelling study were: to describe the dynamics of the HIV epidemic in ...

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Application of lichenometry and residual strength test for age estimation of Holocene moraines in the Suntar-Khayata Mountains

Лëд и снег, 2015
Residual strength and diameters of lichen Rhizocarpon sp. were measured on different elements of the Late Holocene glacial-cryogenic morphosculpture of frontal parts of glaciers № 29 and 31 in the Suntar-Khayat Range. All in all, 180 lichenometric sites (

Numerical analysis of fluid-material coupled method on propagation of pressure and stress waves during non-spherical bubble collapse

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021
When analyzing cavitation erosion, it is necessary to grasp the stress state inside a material due to the bubble collapse process. In this study, the behavior of a vapor bubble collapse and the stress distribution inside the material due to the bubble ...

Characterization of Intact Proviruses in Blood and Lymph Node from HIV-Infected Individuals Undergoing Analytical Treatment Interruption. [PDF]

, 2019
The role of lymphoid tissue as a potential source of HIV-1 rebound following interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is uncertain. To address this issue, we compared the latent viruses obtained from CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood and lymph nodes ...
