GLOBAL MODELS OF HERBIVORY VARIABILITY: DATA FROM THE HERBVAR PROJECT [PDF]

Herbivory is a major selection pressure on plants, which have evolved many different physical and chemical adaptations to prevent animals from eating their tissues. Mean herbivory patterns have been well studied in ecology.

Influence of variability in geometric and material parameters on the damping properties of multilayer structures [PDF]

, 2016
In this work, we present finite element models based on the solid–shell approach, which have been specifically designed for the modeling of multilayer structures.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Spatial variability of groundwater recharge - II. Factors affecting variability and taking account of it in estimating recharge

, 2004
The accompanying paper provided evidence to suggest that spatial variability of groundwater recharge is ‘true’ variability. This paper attempts to determine the major causes of such variability even at small distances, if there appear to be a frequency ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Design and Evaluation of a Bilateral Semi-Rigid Exoskeleton to Assist Hip Motion

Biomimetics
This study focused on designing and evaluating a bilateral semi-rigid hip exoskeleton. The exoskeleton assisted the hip joint, capitalizing on its proximity to the body’s center of mass.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

NONAN GaitPrint: An IMU gait database of healthy older adults

Scientific Data
The continued effort to study gait kinematics and the increased interest in identifying individuals based on their gait patterns could be strengthened by the inclusion of data from older groups.

A Robotic Assistance With Specialized Timing Improves Motor Performance: Implications for Movement Training

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Robotic devices can expand the repertoire of rehabilitation methods by enabling actions that cannot be replicated by a physical therapist. We previously developed a technique, we term ‘rapid assistance,’ that can assist movements beginning ...

Relative Price Variability : The Case of Turkey 1994-2002 [PDF]

Relative price variability leads to inefficiencies in the allocation of resources that reduce real income (Fischer, 1981). Given the costs associated with relative price variability, the relation between inflation and relative price variability was ...
