Thermal Structure of the Central Scotian Slope: Seafloor Heat Flow and Thermal Maturation Models

, 2010
Many factors such as rift history, crustal structure and distribution of high thermal conductivity salt bodies throughout the sediment pile affect the present day thermal structure of the deepwater Scotian Slope.

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Assessment of the vertical preferential flow characteristics and flow types on a slope in a small headwater catchment

Frontiers in Environmental Science
This study investigated preferential flow infiltration patterns at three slope positions (upslope, mid-slope and downslope) of typical slopes in the Miyun Reservoir Basin.

Modification of the RUSLE slope length and steepness factor (LS-factor) based on rainfall experiments at steep alpine grasslands

MethodsX, 2019
The slope length and slope steepness factor (LS-factor) is one of five factors of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its revised version (RUSLE) describing the influence of topography on soil erosion risk.

Fluid flow and slope stability model [PDF]

, 1999
The objective of this work was to develop a computer model to calculate the changes in factor of safety of a slope with time resulting from changes in the water saturation.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Flows with constant slope on the Klein bottle

Quaestiones Mathematicae
We consider smooth flows with constant slope on the 2-dimensional (flat) torus and on the (flat) Klein bottle. It is well known that for a flow with constant slope on the torus either all orbits are periodic or all orbits are dense. We obtain a similar classification for the orbits of a flow with constant slope on the Klein bottle: again either all ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Characteristics of water distribution and preferential flow processes and nutrient response on dolomite slopes in the southwestern karst region

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Understanding the characteristics of the soil water content and preferential flow is critical for a thorough comprehension of soil nutrient loss in Karst slopes/ecosystems.
