Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Effect of Fractionation Process and Addition of Composite Crumb Rubber-Modified Asphalt on Road Performance Variability of Recycled Asphalt Mixtures with High Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Content

Buildings, 2023
The application of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) can help reduce resource waste and environmental pollution in road construction. However, so far, only a small percentage of RAP materials can be used in road construction.

Laboratory Procedure for Measuring the Effectiveness of Dust Control Palliatives [PDF]

, 2017
Creation of fugitive dust on unpaved roads results in the loss of up to 25 mm (one inch) of surface aggregate annually (FHWA, 1998). On these roads, shearing forces created by vehicles dislodge the fine aggregate fraction (silt and clay) that binds the ...

Uncertainty-dependent data collection in vehicular sensor networks

, 2012
Vehicular sensor networks (VSNs) are built on top of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) by equipping vehicles with sensing devices. These new technologies create a huge opportunity to extend the sensing capabilities of the existing road traffic control ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Experimental study on the road performance of reduced density fly ash–clayey sand subgrade mixtures from the Yellow River floodplain

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering
To address challenges in subgrade construction using Yellow River floodplain soils, this study developed a reduced density filler by mixing aged fly ash with locally sourced clayey sand. The research aimed to establish a robust framework for bridging the

A Grotian Tradition of Theory and Practice: Grotius, Law, and Moral Skepticism in the Thought of Hedley Bull [PDF]

, 1997
This paper describes a system that incrementally constructs an increasingly accurate road map from GPS traces from a single vehicle. The resulting road map contains information about the road such as road gradient which can be used by functions in a ...
