Exploring Protein Fold Space [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2020
The model of protein folding proposed by Ptitsyn and colleagues involves the accretion of secondary structures around a nucleus. As developed by Efimov, this model also provides a useful way to view the relationships among structures. Although somewhat eclipsed by later databases based on the pairwise comparison of structures, Efimov’s approach ...

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Geometric Calibration of the ShadowCam Instrument on the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences
The ShadowCam instrument on the Danuri spacecraft provides high-resolution views of shadowed portions of the Moon, which are illuminated by naturally scattered light from nearby sunlit terrain. The sensitive time-delay integration detector captures high

Improvement of Durability of Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings in Liquid Hydrogen at 3 Million DN (120,000 rpm)

Tribology Online, 2010
The durability of a hybrid ceramic 25-mm-bore ball bearing having a single outer land-guided retainer was evaluated and improved in liquid hydrogen at speeds up to 120,000 rpm (120,000 min-1) (3 million DN) by comparing the propagation of superficial ...

A coiled‐coil domain triggers oligomerization of MmpL10, the mycobacterial transporter of trehalose polyphleate precursor

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Most MmpLs transport lipids and glycolipids of the complex mycomembrane of mycobacteria. This study shows that MmpL10 from Mycobacterium smegmatis, the transporter of the trehalose polyphosphate precursor, harbors a coiled‐coil‐like extension. Biochemical and electron microscopy studies demonstrate that the coiled‐coil enables MmpL10 to trimerize.

Descent trajectory reconstruction and landing site positioning of Chang’E-4 on the lunar farside

Nature Communications, 2019
The Chang’E-4 mission in January 2019 had the major challenge to land on the lunar far side without traditional radiometric techniques due to the missing line-of-sight.

Exploring the space of adversarial images [PDF]

2016 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2016
Adversarial examples have raised questions regarding the robustness and security of deep neural networks. In this work we formalize the problem of adversarial images given a pretrained classifier, showing that even in the linear case the resulting optimization problem is nonconvex.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Design and Analysis of a Micro–Electro-Mechanical System Thruster for Small Satellites and Low-Thrust Propulsion

Aerospace
As a cost-effective and versatile solution, small satellites are increasingly being considered for space exploration. However, one of the major challenges in deploying small satellites for high total impulse missions, particularly deep space exploration,

Initial performance of the radio occultation experiment in the Venus orbiter mission Akatsuki

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
After the arrival of Akatsuki spacecraft of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency at Venus in December 2015, the radio occultation experiment, termed RS (Radio Science), obtained 19 vertical profiles of the Venusian atmosphere by April 2017.
