Reliability-Based Structural Design of a Representative Wing and Tail System Together with Structural Tests [PDF]

, 2011
Most reliability-based optimization studies focus on variables that are available in the design stage. However, it has been shown that inclusion of post-design measures, such as structural tests and health monitoring, can lead to better design choices ...

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Comparison of Numerical Results With Experiment Using Digital Image Correlation System of Multiobjective Structural Optimised Wind Turbine Blade

Wind Energy
This paper presents a novel approach to the structural design of small‐scale turbine blades using the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm to optimise both mass and cost (objective functions), with a comparison to experimental results obtained using a ...

AscF in the mycobacterial CIII–CIV supercomplex lacks metal and nucleotide binding but links malate oxidation to respiration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...

Unified Engineering Framework for Segment-Based Renewal of Linear Assets: The Conveyor Belt Loop as a Reference Case

Eng
Linear assets (LAs), such as conveyor systems, road networks, pipelines, and power transmission lines, are typically maintained through localized, segment-based interventions. While such approaches effectively address spatially heterogeneous degradation,

Identification of the plant mitochondrial OrfX protein: A mass spectrometry approach

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The mitochondrial genome of plants contains an open reading frame, orfx, which encodes a rare protein that has so far escaped mass spectrometric detection. The protein resembles the c‐subunit of bacterial twin‐arginine‐motif‐dependent protein translocases (TatC).
