Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Source process of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake (Mj7.3) inferred from kinematic inversion of strong-motion records

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2017
In this study, we estimated source process of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake from strong-motion data by using the multiple-time window linear kinematic waveform inversion method to discuss generation of strong motions and to explain crustal deformation ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Waves Generated by the Horizontal Motions of a Bottom Disturbance

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Waves generated by a horizontally moving disturbance on the seabed have been studied by developing two numerical models, namely, the Navier–Stokes and the Green–Naghdi equations.

General Automatic Human Shape and Motion Capture Using Volumetric Contour Cues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Markerless motion capture algorithms require a 3D body with properly personalized skeleton dimension and/or body shape and appearance to successfully track a person. Unfortunately, many tracking methods consider model personalization a different problem and use manual or semi-automatic model initialization, which greatly reduces applicability.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

The SHAPE-ID Toolkit: Overview, trajectories, and user guidance

open access: yes, 2021
This document describes how the SHAPE-ID Toolkit came into being and explains its overall structure and current state. In order to preserve the guidance for users of the online toolkit, it compiles the content of the toolkit ‘entry page’, ‘about ...

Real-time reactive motion generation based on variable attractor dynamics and shaped velocities [PDF]

open access: yes2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010
This paper describes a novel method for motion generation and reactive collision avoidance. The algorithm performs arbitrary desired velocity profiles in absence of external disturbances and reacts if virtual or physical contact is made in a unified fashion with a clear physically interpretable behavior.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Landmark-guided elastic shape analysis of human character motions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Motions of virtual characters in movies or video games are typically generated by recording actors using motion capturing methods. Animations generated this way often need postprocessing, such as improving the periodicity of cyclic animations or ...
