Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase maintains ionotropic receptor expression for cool temperature sensing and avoidance in Drosophila

Communications Biology
Sensory inputs of temperature dynamics in the environment are essential for appropriate physiological outputs. The responsiveness of sensory neurons is maintained by functional thermosensor expression.

Thermal Behavior of Tunnel Segment Joints Exposed to Fire and Strengthening of Fire-damaged Joints with Concrete-filled Steel Tubes

Applied Sciences, 2019
Owing to its discontinuous configuration, segment joint is of particular concern when the shield tunnel lining is exposed to fire. The thermal behavior of such joints when exposed to fire was investigated experimentally in full scale.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Long crack behavior in a thermal barrier coating upon thermal shock loading

, 2005
The behavior of macroscopic long cracks in the ceramic top coat of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system subjected to thermal shock loading and the influence of the cracks on the coating durability were investigated experimentally and numerically ...

Applications of thermal imaging in avian science [PDF]

, 2013
Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, has been used in avian science since the 1960s. More than 30 species of birds, ranging in size from passerines to ratites, have been studied using this technology.

From Chains to Chromophores: Tailored Thermal and Linear/Nonlinear Optical Features of Asymmetric Pyrimidine—Coumarin Systems

Molecules
Eleven novel asymmetric pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized. The pyrimidine core was functionalized with a coumarin chromophore and a pro-mesogenic fragment bearing either chiral or linear alkyl chains of variable length and substitution patterns ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

Synthesis and evaluation of the thermal behavior of flavonoids: Thermal decomposition of flavanone and 6-hydroxyflavanone

, 2017
Flavonoids in the broad sense of the term are virtually universal plant pigments. Synthesis of flavanone and 6-hydroxyflavanone was carried out and identified by H and C NMR.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
