Quantifying Coral Reef Resilience to Climate Change and Human Development: An Evaluation of Multiple Empirical Frameworks

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The integrity of coral reefs has increasingly been threatened by human development and climate change. As a result, the concept of ecological resilience – an ecosystem's capability to resist and recover from environmental stressors – has become an ...

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Review of Power System Resilience Concept, Assessment, and Enhancement Measures

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Power systems are generally designed to be reliable when faced with low-impact, high-probability, and expected power outages. By contrast, the probability of extreme event (extreme weather or natural disasters) occurrence is low, but may seriously affect

Managing for local resilience: towards a strategic approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The term resilience is increasingly being used to capture the challenges involved in managing in ‘hard times’. This article aims to provide one of the first empirical studies of the term’s application to local authority interventions around emergency ...

Partial FAK suppression promotes tumor growth, an effect reversed by macrophage p110δ PI3K inactivation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Partial inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) can paradoxically promote tumor growth, rather than simply producing a weaker antitumor effect than that observed with strong FAK suppression. In breast cancer and melanoma models, targeting p110δ PI3K, particularly in macrophages, counteracted these tumor‐promoting effects, highlighting the importance ...

Resilience‐oriented service restoration modelling interdependent critical loads in distribution systems with integrated distributed generators

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2021
The exponential increase in the frequency and intensity of high impact low probability weather‐related events have pivoted the paradigm of research pertaining to power systems towards resilience.

The Effect of Time-Varying Value on Infrastructure Resilience Assessments

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Infrastructure resilience for a scenario can be assessed quantitatively from resilience curves that plot the evolution of system performance. Summary metrics map these curves to a single value to facilitate comparisons of different systems, scenarios ...

Regulation of the lncRNA NEAT1 by p53‐ΔNp63 crosstalk modulates the DNA damage response and therapeutic efficacy in HNSCC

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) p53 and p63 exert opposite roles on the transcription regulation of the lncRNA NEAT1. Under basal conditions, p53 levels are low and p63 represses NEAT1 expression. Upon genotoxic stress, p53 is rapidly induced, displacing p63 from the NEAT1 promoter leading to NEAT1 transcriptional activation and ...

Cyber-Physical Resilience: Definition and Assessment Metric

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2019
Resilient operation of cyber-physical infrastructures in adversarial environments requires: 1) toughness: maintenance of core crucial sub-functionalities despite ongoing intrusions and 2) elasticity: recovery of the normal system operation in a timely manner.
