Inverse optimal transport [PDF]
, 2019 Discrete optimal transportation problems arise in various contexts in engineering, the sciences and the social sciences. Often the underlying cost criterion is unknown, or only partly known, and the observed optimal solutions are corrupted by noise.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

Engineering Transport in Manganites by Tuning Local Non-Stoichiometry in Grain Boundaries [PDF]
Chiabrera, Francesco, et al. "Engineering transport in manganites
by tuning local nonstoichiometry in grain boundaries." Advanced Materials
(2018): 1805360, 2019 Interface-dominated materials such as nanocrystalline thin films have emerged as an enthralling class of materials able to engineer functional properties of transition metal oxides widely used in energy and information technologies. In particular, it has been proved that strain-induced defects in grain boundaries of manganites deeply impact their ...

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Embedded Boron Nitride Domains In Graphene Nanoribbons For Transport Gap Engineering [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 86, 165420 (2012), 2012 We numerically investigate the impact of boron nitride (BN) domains on the transport properties of graphene nanoribbons with lengths ranging from a few to several hundreds of nanometers and lateral size up to 4 nm. By varying the size and morphology of the BN islands embedded in the graphene matrix, a wide transport tunability is obtained from perfect ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...

Enablers and Impediments for Collaborative Research in Software Testing: An Empirical Exploration
, 2014 When it comes to industrial organizations, current collaboration efforts in software engineering research are very often kept in-house, depriving these organizations off the skills necessary to build independent collaborative research. The current trend,
