Safety and volunteer construction workers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The construction industry is dangerous, with 39 fatalities at work in the UK in 2012/13 and comparable and even larger figures reported worldwide. People also take part in construction on a voluntary basis; most volunteers have limited training and no ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Studying the effects of freeway alignment, traffic flow, and sign information on subjective driving workload and performance

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
Road alignment, traffic flow, and sign information interact and create complex traffic situations. To evaluate the effects of freeway horizontal radius, slope grade, traffic flow, and sign information on subjective driving workload and performance, a ...

Severe flood probability on the middle Changjiang (Yangtze River) after completion of the Three Gorges Dam

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
A major justification for building the Three Gorges Dam on the Changjiang is flood control. The dam can reduce peak discharge during severe floods. These floods, however, cannot be prevented by operation of the Three Gorges Dam alone.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Better safe than sorry: towards appropriate water safety plans for urban self supply systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Self Supply Systems (SSS) can be defined as privately owned household level water sources. The research focus is on urban self supply hand dug wells in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Self supply wells serve an estimated 45% of Abeokuta’s population.

Light Water Reactor Safety

open access: yes, 2012
This chapter deals with light water reactor (LWR) safety. LWR safety is all about estimating the risks posed by an individual or a population of nuclear power plants (NPPs) to the public at large and the efforts to reduce these risks.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
