Riboswitches: Structures and Mechanisms [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 A critical feature of the hypothesized RNA world would have been the ability to control chemical processes in response to environmental cues. Riboswitches present themselves as viable candidates for a sophisticated mechanism of regulatory control in RNA-based life.

Structures and mechanisms of glycosyltransferases [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2005 Glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the transfer of a sugar moiety from an activated donor sugar onto saccharide and nonsaccharide acceptors. A sequence-based classification spreads GTs in many families thus reflecting the variety of molecules that can be used as acceptors.

Ontic structural realism and the interpretation of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2012 This paper argues that ontic structural realism (OSR) faces a dilemma: either it remains on the general level of realism with respect to the structure of a given theory, but then it is, like epistemic structural realism, only a partial realism; or it is ...

Structured Mechanical Collage [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2014 We present a method to build 3D structured mechanical collages consisting of numerous elements from the database given artist-designed proxy models. The construction is guided by some graphic design principles, namely unity, variety and contrast. Our results are visually more pleasing than previous works as confirmed by a user study.

DISTORSION IN STRUCTURAL MECHANICS [PDF]
JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 1995 The behaviour of elastic perfectly plastic structures under given loadings and distorsion is examined until plastic failure (analysis problem). “Distorsion” is here for the strain which does not satisfy the compatibility equations. A distorsion can be caused by prestressing, supports displacements or lack of precision during fabrication stage (the ...

Structural Performance of RC Beams containing Tension-Only Nodes
International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018 Strut and Tie (S&T) models are used for the design of what are known as “discontinuity regions” in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Building codes such as ACI-318 and Eurocode 2 do not give information on the nodes that only connect ties in S&T ...

The Dynamic Properties of the Bridge Deck Model Reinforced With FRP Bars
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2015 Significant application of composites can be observed in numerous fields over the last decades. Composite materials mainly used in the aeronautics industry are gaining more and more application in various areas such as the construction of bridges.

Energies, 2020 The economic losses from earthquakes tend to hit the national economy considerably; therefore, models that are capable of estimating the vulnerability and losses of future earthquakes are highly consequential for emergency planners with the purpose of ...

Structure and Mechanism of Acetolactate Decarboxylase [PDF]
ACS Chemical Biology, 2013 Acetolactate decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of both enantiomers of acetolactate to the (R)-enantiomer of acetoin, via a mechanism that has been shown to involve a prior rearrangement of the non-natural (R)-enantiomer substrate to the natural (S)-enantiomer.
