Fatigue Analysis of the Oil Offloading Lines in FPSO System under Wave and Current Loads

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In this paper, fatigue analysis of oil offloading lines (OOLs) in the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) buoy offloading system under wave and current loads in the West Africa Sea area is carried out by ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS 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.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Numerical analysis of a tethered‐buoy mooring system for a prototype floating wind farm

Wind Energy
Conventional mooring systems contribute significantly to the cost of floating wind projects, and innovative solutions with cost‐saving potentials are desired. In the present paper, we investigate the fundamental dynamic behavior of an innovative tethered‐

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Simulation of and Experimental Research on Rivulet Model on Airfoil Surface

Aerospace, 2022
The occurrence of aircraft icing can significantly affect flight performance. One of the most important aspects in the study of anti-icing technology for aircraft is the distribution of overflow water. Owing to the external airflow pressure, shear stress,

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Excellent Ductility in the Extruded AZ61 Magnesium Alloy Tube Induced by Electropulsing Treatment during Tension

Metals, 2021
In this work, we reported the high ductility of an extruded AZ61 magnesium alloy tube achieved by electropulsing current-assisted tension. The elongation of the alloy reached up to about 45%, which is largely superior to the majority of AZ61 wrought Mg ...
