Tunable Low Frequency Band Gap and Waveguide of Phononic Crystal Plates with Different Filling Ratio

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
Aiming at solving the NVH problem in vehicles, a novel composite structure is proposed. The new structure uses a hollow-stub phononic-crystal with filled cylinders (HPFC) plate.

Nondiffractive sonic crystals

open access: yes, 2006
We predict theoretically the nondiffractive propagation of sonic waves in periodic acoustic media (sonic crystals), by expansion into a set of plane waves (Bloch mode expansion), and by finite difference time domain calculations of finite beams. We also give analytical evaluations of the parameters for nondiffractive propagation, as well as the minimum

Valley Topological Phases in Bilayer Sonic Crystals [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2018
Recently, the topological physics in artificial crystals for classical waves has become an emerging research area. In this Letter, we propose a unique bilayer design of sonic crystals that are constructed by two layers of coupled hexagonal array of triangular scatterers.

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 ...

Omindirectional Non-Reciprocity via 2D Modulated Radial Sonic Crystals

open access: yesCrystals, 2020
In this paper we report on nonreciprocal wave propagation in a 2D radial sonic crystal with space–time varying properties. We show that a modulation traveling along the radial direction reflects in omni-directional and isotropic nonreciprocal wave ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Reflection and refraction characteristics of a spherical acoustic black hole

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
Spherical Acoustic Black Hole (ABH), a kind of acoustic metamaterial, has been made in the new configuration to control three dimensional propagation of acoustic wave and its characteristics have been investigated by experiments and numerical simulations.

Broadening Low-Frequency Band Gap of Double-Panel Structure Using Locally Resonant Sonic Crystal Comprised of Slot-Type Helmholtz Resonators

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2021
An approach is presented to form and broaden the low-frequency band gap of the double panel structure (DPS) by using a locally resonant sonic crystal (LRSC) in this work.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

The crystal structure of the Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase BBE22 resolves a long‐standing annotation error

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase (PncA/BBE22) reveals the correct full‐length protein initiated from a non‐canonical AUU start codon. The structure validates previous biochemical findings and resolves a long‐standing annotation error, demonstrating that the truncated database sequence is structurally incompatible with the ...
