Comparative analysis of different finite element models of the soil-buried arch bridge interaction [PDF]

Građevinski Materijali i Konstrukcije, 2019
Comparative analysis is made of different finite element models of a buried arch bridge which is constructed from precast concrete elements. Two static schemes of the bridge structure are considered - a static scheme of rigid connection between all ...

Wind Tunnel Measurements of Aeroelastic Guyed Mast Models

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2013
The dynamic response of guyed masts models to the wind action in the wind tunnel was analyzed in the paper. Accelerations and forces in guys were measured. Spectra of the response were calculated.

Hydrodynamic Interactions between Ships in a Fleet

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
There has always been a concern about the hydrodynamic interaction between ships in a flow field. In this study, the RANS method is utilized, and the hydrodynamic interference between two KRISO Container Ships (KCS) operating in still water with ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The rainwater retention mechanisms in extensive green roofs with ten different structural configurations

Water Science and Technology, 2021
Rainfall infiltration, rainwater retention, runoff and evapotranspiration (ET) are important components of the water balance in green roofs. These components are expected to be influenced by variations in the structural configurations (i.e., substrate ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

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 ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
