Quarter-Century Offshore Winds from SSM/I and WRF in the North Sea and South China Sea

Remote Sensing, 2016
We study the wind climate and its long-term variability in the North Sea and South China Sea, areas relevant for offshore wind energy development, using satellite-based wind data, because very few reliable long-term in-situ sea surface wind observations ...

A simulation study demonstrating the importance of large-scale trailing vortices in wake steering [PDF]

Wind Energy Science, 2018
In this paper, we investigate the role of flow structures generated in wind farm control through yaw misalignment. A pair of counter-rotating vortices is shown to be important in deforming the shape of the wake and in explaining the asymmetry of wake ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Weibull parameters determined from a comprehensive dataset of tensile testing of single carbon fibres

Data in Brief
This data article presents tensile properties of about 1200 single carbon fibres (PYROFIL™ TRW40 50L) tested at eight different gauge lengths in the range of L0∈ [20; 80] mm with approximately 150 tested fibres for each length.

Validation of RANS-calibrated engineering models and ANN-based surrogate for wind farm flow simulation and layout optimization [PDF]

Wind Energy Science
Accurate yet efficient wake modeling is essential for wind farm layout optimization (WFLO). Wind turbine wakes are disturbed regions of flow behind a wind turbine, characterized by lower mean wind speeds and higher turbulence, which reduce downstream ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Opportunities and Challenges of Advanced Testing Approaches for Multi-Megawatt Wind Turbines

IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics
To safely integrate large numbers of wind turbines into the electric power grid, turbines must demonstrate compliance with grid codes and technical guidelines through rigorous testing.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

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.
