Advancing human-computer interaction research through structural equation modelling

Frontiers in Human Dynamics
PurposeThis paper addresses a methodological gap in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research by demonstrating how Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) can be used to analyse complex user behaviours, perceptions, and experiences ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

A Simulation Study of Polychoric Instrumental Variable Estimation in Structural Equation Models

, 2016
Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Data collected from questionnaires are often in ordinal scale. Unweighted least squares (ULS), diagonally weighted least squares (DWLS) and normal-theory maximum likelihood (ML) are commonly used methods to fit

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

The Validation of the psychometric properties of the coach behaviour scale (CBS-SA) for saudi athletes

Cogent Social Sciences
The study aimed to analyse the psychometric properties of the Coach Behaviour Scale (CBS-SA) in Saudi Arabian athletes. The sample consisted of 201 athletes (Mage = 19.39, SD = 2.13; 135 men and 66 women) who completed the Coach Behaviour Scale in Arabic

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 ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Structural equation modelling in R: Comparing and packages

Methodological Innovations
This paper compares two popular R packages for structural equation modelling (SEM) – lavaan and seminr – to help researchers understand not only how they work, but also when each is most appropriate.
