Effects of inbreeding and genetic modification on Aedes aegypti larval competition and adult energy reserves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Genetic modification of mosquitoes offers a promising strategy for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases. For such a strategy to be effective, it is critically important that engineered strains are competitive enough to serve ...

Numerical modeling on strain energy evolution in rock system interaction with energy-absorbing prop and rock bolt

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2023
The interaction mechanism between coal and rock masses with supporting materials is significant in roadway control, especially in deep underground mining situations where dynamic hazards frequently happened due to high geo-stress and strong disturbed ...

Effect of Nonparallel End Face on Energy Dissipation Analyses of Rocklike Materials Based on SHPB Tests

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2019
To evaluate the effect of nonparallel end face of rocklike specimens in SHPB tests, the characteristics of energy dissipation are analyzed based on numerical simulations for end-face nonparallelism from 0% to 0.40% and Young’s modulus from 14 GPa to 42 ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Intercomparison of snow density measurements: bias, precision, and vertical resolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Density is a fundamental property of porous media such as snow. A wide range of snow properties and physical processes are linked to density, but few studies have addressed the uncertainty in snow density measurements.

The strain-energy density function of the urinary bladder.

open access: yesThe Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1982
In previous articles we proposed a finite deformation theory of the urinary bladder. The present paper is the third article in a series of these works. Our aim is to study more carefully the strain-energy density function W of the urinary bladder, because the determination of this function W is one of the central problems in the finite deformation ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mechanism and Risk Factors of Adjacent Vertebral Failure Post Percutaneous Vertebroplasty - a Strain Energy Density Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is an effective treatment procedure for compression fracture of osteoporotic vertebra; however, adjacent vertebral failure (AVF) is a frequently observed complication of PV.

Study on the Fractal Characteristics of the Pomegranate Biotite Schist under Impact Loading

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
In order to study the fractal characteristics of the pomegranate biotite schist under the effect of blasting loads, a one-dimensional SHPB impact test was carried out to test the dynamic compressive strength, damage morphology, fracture energy ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
