Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 24, 23 June 2026.This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

Resilin: Elastic MapReduce over Multiple Clouds [PDF]
2013 13th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Computing, 2013 The MapReduce programming model offers a simple and efficient way of performing distributed computation over large data sets. To enable the usage of MapReduce in the cloud, Amazon Web Services offers Elastic MapReduce (EMR), a web service enabling users to easily run MapReduce jobs by leveraging Amazon resources (i.e. compute and storage).

Investigation of span-chordwise bending anisotropy of honeybee forewings
Biology Open, 2017 In this study, the spanwise and chordwise bending stiffness EI of honeybee forewings were measured by a cantilevered bending test. The test results indicate that the spanwise EI of the forewing is two orders of magnitude larger than the chordwise EI ...
