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 structural robustness of multiprocessor computing system [PDF]

Computer Science Journal of Moldova, 1996
The model of the multiprocessor computing system on the base of transputers which permits to resolve the question of valuation of a structural robustness (viability, survivability) is described.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Structure-conditioned vulnerability of road networks under flood and landslide disruptions: evidence from Central Java, Indonesia

Communications in Science and Technology
The vulnerability of road networks under disaster conditions is typically discussed in terms of hazard exposure. However, the impact of network structure on the consequence of disruption remains an under-explored area.

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 ...

The Challenges of Writing a Structural Standard for Glass

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2016
Glass has been used as a prized construction material for centuries.  Typically it has been used as a window infill, initially designed empirically where thickness available was adequate for the sizes available.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Structural robustness of steel framed buildings subjected to accidental actions

Budownictwo i Architektura, 2014
The approach of Eurocode 1 to accidental actions was briefly presented in the paper. These specific actions occur very rarely but due to their high intensity may result in the total collapse of  the building.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

A Simulation-Based Stress-Testing Framework for Evaluating the Transportability of Imaging-Derived Logistic Risk Models Across Cutaneous Lesion Phenotypes

Diagnostics
Background: Imaging-based logistic models are widely used for non-invasive risk stratification; however, their structural robustness and transportability across heterogeneous biological contexts remain insufficiently examined.
