An evaluation of the current urban design process in order to derive critical success factors for the creation of a potential new urban design process framework [PDF]

, 2015
The current urban design process is top-down, i.e., generally the urban designers or planners design the urban environment and at a later stage the community may have some involvement. There are serious criticisms of this process as it may not touch the “

Alnustone Ameliorates Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease by Facilitating Mitochondrial Fatty Acid β‐Oxidation via Targeting Calmodulin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies alnustone, a natural compound from Alpinia katsumadai, as a potent therapeutic agent for MASLD and MASH. Alnustone enhances mitochondrial fatty acid β‐oxidation by directly targeting calmodulin, improving liver steatosis, fibrosis, and insulin resistance in vivo.

The SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 Module: a Switch for Controlling Sugar Distribution Between Nematode Induced Galls and Roots in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root‐knot nematode (RKN) disease seriously affects the yield and quality of vegetable crops. SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 model helps plants resist RKN infection during early stage by switching off the sugar transport capacity of other SlSWEET proteins that are hijacked by RKNs.

Trimerization of 1,2‐Diaminocyclohexane Catalyzed by a Metal–Organic Cage Tandem Catalyst with Dual Biomimetic Active Sites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual biomimetic active sites, i.e., mononuclear {ZnII(L)(H2O)} and dinuclear {L2ZnII(CHO2)(OH)ZnIIL2}, have been successfully intergrated into a metal–organic cage, Zn20‐MOC. These two different active sites in Zn20‐MOC catalyze different steps of cascade trimerization of 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane. The mononuclear {ZnII(L)(H2O)} site catalyzes the initial
