A New Method for Evaluating the Stability of Retaining Walls

open access: yesBuildings
The existing stability analysis of Coulomb retaining walls is derived on the basis of four assumptions, and there is no clear description of the interaction mechanism among wedge-shaped bodies, retaining walls, and the two.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Outflows and mass accretion in collapsing dense cores with misaligned rotation axis and magnetic field [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters, 2010
Outflows and jets are intimately related to the formation of stars, and play an important role in redistributing mass, energy and angular momentum within the dense core and parent cloud.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Renal pelvis stone in reverse kidney: A case report and literature review

open access: yesUrology Case Reports, 2020
In neonates, kidney and urinary tract anomalies, like rotation anomalies, may be observed at rates of 3–11%. During rise to the lumbar region, the kidney completes rotation from left to right around the long axis from top to bottom and the renal hilum ...

Twisted Surfaces with Null Rotation Axis in Minkowski 3-Space

open access: yes, 2016
We examine curvature properties of twisted surfaces with null rotation axis in Minkowski 3-space. That is, we study surfaces that arise when a planar curve is subject to two synchronized rotations, possibly at different speeds, one in its supporting ...

Object rotation axis from shading [PDF]

open access: yes1999 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing. Proceedings. ICASSP99 (Cat. No.99CH36258), 1999
In this paper, a non-complex estimator is developed for the tilt angle of the rotation axis of an object that is illuminated by a point light source. The tilt angle defines the orientation of the 2D projection of the 3D object rotation axis in the image plane and is a strong clue for image understanding.

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Statistics of asteroid axis rotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Показано, что по зависимостям скорости осевого вращения от диаметра и удельного углового момента от массы, астероиды делятся на три группы в соответствии с разной степенью влияния столкновительной эволюции на параметры, их осевого вращения.
