Structural characterization of the D290V mutation site in hnRNPA2 low-complexity-domain polymers. [PDF]
Human genetic studies have given evidence of familial, disease-causing mutations in the analogous amino acid residue shared by three related RNA binding proteins causative of three neurological diseases. Alteration of aspartic acid residue 290 of hnRNPA2

Robust Localization and Tracking of Simultaneous Moving Sound Sources Using Beamforming and Particle Filtering [PDF]
Mobile robots in real-life settings would benefit from being able to localize and track sound sources. Such a capability can help localizing a person or an interesting event in the environment, and also provides enhanced processing for other capabilities such as speech recognition.

The response of weaned piglets to dietary valine and leucine
Valine (Val) is considered to be the fifth-limiting amino acid in a maize–soyabean meal diet for pigs. Excess leucine (Leu) levels often occur in commercial diets, which may attenuate the effect of Val deficiency because of an increased oxidation of Val.

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the branched-chain amino acid aminotransferases (BCATs) Bat1 and Bat2 catalyze the conversion of α-ketoisovalerate, α-keto-β-methylvalerate, and α-ketoisokaproate and into valine, isoleucine, and leucine ...

Robust Sound Source Localization Using a Microphone Array on a Mobile Robot [PDF]
The hearing sense on a mobile robot is important because it is omnidirectional and it does not require direct line-of-sight with the sound source. Such capabilities can nicely complement vision to help localize a person or an interesting event in the environment.

Digestible Valine Requirements of Growing-Finishing Ross 308 Broilers
SUMMARY: Three experiments were conducted to assess the digestible valine (dVal) requirements of growing-finishing Ross 308 broilers. In the first experiment, the limitation of valine in low crude protein diets was evaluated.
