Exploration of handover communication in military and NHS emergency care settings
, 2017 There is an emerging body of literature on handover communication in civilian emergency care settings between paramedics and hospital receiving staff. However, little is known about how handover is conducted in the UK military and how this might differ ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

An approach to nonlinear viscoelasticity via metric gradient flows [PDF]
, 2013 We formulate quasistatic nonlinear finite-strain viscoelasticity of rate type as a gradient system. Our focus is on nonlinear dissipation functionals and distances that are related to metrics on weak diffeomorphisms and that ensure time-dependent frame ...

FEBS 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 ...

Instrumented model slope to investigate the influence of rainfall and slope gradient on matric suction [PDF]
Prior researchers indicated that prolonged and heavy rainfalls primarily trigger major landslides in Malaysia. This study was carried out to investigate the influence of rainfall on the matric suction of silty sand slopes through a small-scale model.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Slope-dependent erosion control by rock fragments: experiments and model improvements
GeodermaSlope gradient and surface cover are key factors controlling soil erosion, but how their interaction influences the erosion control effectiveness of rock fragments remains unclear. In the commonly used exponential function that describes this effect (C =

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
