The skills required for transition to university and study in biological sciences: A student perspective

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bioscience students were asked for their opinions on the value and teaching of skills. 204 responded that teamwork, time management and study skills are necessary to reach University, that scientific writing, research, laboratory and presentation skills are taught effectively during their studies, while other skills are gained inherently through study ...

Numerical Modeling for Stiff Problems and Fake News

open access: yes, 2021
This talk is focused on presenting recent advances in the numerical modeling for stiff systems of ordinary differential equations, with a special emphasis on the role of stiff problems in understanding the diffusion of fake information in a given country

The problem of machine stiffness revisited

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1991
The notion of “size effect” is introduced into the problem of machine stiffness by assuming that the rock specimen fails according to the slip‐weakening fracture model. Consequently, when the strain energy (stored per unit volume) in the machine and specimen is greater than the fracture energy (dissipated per unit area) of the rock, an unstable ...

One size does not fit all: An in vitro evaluation of the effects of bezafibrate and medroxyprogesterone acetate on human SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Drugs previously repurposed to target blood cancers reduced neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell growth and viability. However, their levels of anticancer activity were different and their clinical application may be problematic due to side effects at effective doses.

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 ...

Comparing the Performance of Two Butcher-Based Block Hybrid Algorithms for the Solution of Initial Value Problems

open access: yesAxioms
In this paper, we compare the performances of two Butcher-based block hybrid methods for the numerical integration of initial value problems. We compare the condition numbers of the linear system of equations arising from both methods and the absolute ...

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

A modified scheme to the multiple shooting method for BVPs

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal
A significant modification of the multiple shooting method for solving nth order boundary value problems (BVPs) is presented. Initially, the mathematical foundation of this modification is elucidated.

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐
