Softness Perception Interfered by Friction in Gliding Virtual Surfaces

IEEE Access
Recent studies have shown that surface friction affects softness perception when objects are slid over using fingers. This study examines whether this phenomenon extends to interactions with virtual objects using a stylus-based haptic interface, which ...

Presence of Calcium Lowers the Expansion of Bacillus subtilis Colony Biofilms

Microorganisms, 2017
Robust colony formation by Bacillus subtilis is recognized as one of the sessile, multicellular lifestyles of this bacterium. Numerous pathways and genes are responsible for the architecturally complex colony structure development.

FRICTION COEFFICIENT DISPLAYED BY SLIDING THE FOOTBALL ON THE GLOVES OF THE GOALKEEPER [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2016
In football, goalkeeper needs gloves to keep his hand safe and enhance his ability to catch the ball. This ability can be developed by controlling the friction between gloves and the football.

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

Design sizing of cylindrical worm gearsets [PDF]

FME Transactions, 2020
A method for the design sizing task of cylindrical worm gearsets is presented that gives an estimate of the initial value of the normal module. Expressions are derived for the worm pitch diameter of integral and shell worms as well as for the active face

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

TEM characterisation of near surface deformation resulting from lubricated sliding wear of aluminium alloy and composites [PDF]

, 2007
Aluminium alloy composites have been extensively investigated for use in tribo-contact applications, however little detailed literature exists on the sub-surface microstructural evolution as a result of lubricated sliding wear.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created
