Damaged heron sculpture

open access: yes, 2017
One of the sculptures of a heron on top of the Singing Tower was struck by lightning in July 1929. In August 1929, a light protection system was put in place to prevent this happening again.

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

A theoretical model of rain–wind–induced in-plane galloping on overhead transmission tower-lines system

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2015
Rain–wind–induced galloping phenomenon often occurs on overhead transmission tower-lines system, just as icing galloping and vortex-excited vibration; this kind of instability oscillation can cause power-line breakage or tower failure.

Self-optimizing Control of Cooling Tower for Efficient Operation of Chilled Water Systems

open access: yes, 2012
The chilled-water systems, mainly consisting of electric chillers and cooling towers, are crucial for the ventilating and air conditioning systems in commercial buildings. Energy efficient operation of such systems is thus important for the energy saving

Can seasonal and interannual variation in landscape CO2 fluxes be detected by atmospheric observations of CO2 concentrations made at a tall tower? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The coupled numerical weather model WRF-SPA (Weather Research and Forecasting model and Soil-Plant-Atmosphere model) has been used to investigate a 3 yr time series of observed atmospheric CO2 concentrations from a tall tower in Scotland, UK.

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Study on the Impact of Additional Insulator String Fracture on the Safety Status of Transmission Lines Under Large Ice Loads

open access: yesBuildings
Transmission lines may experience significant ice loads during service, which can cause damage or even destruction to transmission tower components and transmission lines.

YIPFα1A expression is regulated by multilayered molecular mechanisms

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
YIPFα1A, a five‐pass Golgi protein, is regulated at multiple layers. (1) Rare‐codon enrichment drives translation‐coupled mRNA decay. (2) A proximal 3′‐UTR element stabilizes mRNA. (3) A distal 3′‐UTR element included by alternate poly(A) site usage represses translation, which can be overridden by the proximal 3′‐UTR element.

Research on Transmission Line Vibration Based on the Dynamic Response of Strain in Straight Tower Cross Arm Structure Under Wind–Ice Loads

open access: yesEnergies
Under ice and wind loads, transmission conductors undergo varying degrees of displacement, with larger displacements potentially causing direct damage to the transmission tower–line system and posing serious safety hazards.

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...
