Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Trapping of Bubbles in Oil Sands Tailing Ponds

open access: yesEnergies
Oil sands tailings ponds are significant emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in Canada. To move beyond making surface or atmospheric measurements of GHG release, it is necessary to understand the physical mechanisms by which gas is generated, bubbles ...

Determination of the Rheological Parameters of Self-Compacting Concrete Matrix Using Slump Flow Test

open access: yesApplied Rheology, 2010
The classification of a concrete mixture as self-compacting (SCC) is performed by a series of empirical characterization tests that have been designed to assess not only the flowability of the mixture but also its segregation resistance and filling ...

The Role of Volume Fraction and Additives on the Rheology of Suspensions of Micron Sized Iron Particles

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2019
The increase of the yield stress vs. the magnetic field is the most important quantity characterizing the efficiency of a magnetorheological suspension. The theory based on the formation of columnar aggregates predicts a linear variation with the volume ...

Stalled phase transition model of high-elastic polymer

open access: yes, 2013
The microscopic model of semi-crystalline polymer in high-elastic state is proposed. The model is based on the assumption that, below the melting temperature, the semi-crystalline polymer comprises crystal nuclei connected by stretched chain segments ...

Motion of a sphere through an aging system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We have investigated the drag on a sphere falling through a clay suspension that has a yield stress and exhibits rheological aging. The drag force increases with both speed and the rest time between preparation of the system and the start of the ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Evaluation of Techniques for Measuring the Yield Stress of a Magnetorheological Fluid

open access: yesApplied Rheology, 2010
The yield stress of a magnetorheological fluid was measured as a function of magnetic flux density using different techniques. The yield stress values were determined by extrapolating the experimental shear stress-shear rate data to zero shear rate with ...

Plastic deformation mechanism of hypoid gears

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2017
Hypoid gears are used as the final reduction gear of vehicles to transmit and change direction torque. Plastic deformation of a hypoid gear tooth flank occurs when a load exceeding the yield stress acts on the tooth surface.

A material model for warm forming of aluminium sheet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A material model has been developed to simulate the warm forming of Al–Mg\ud sheet. Both the hardening behaviour, including temperature and strain rate effects, and the\ud biaxial stress–strain response of the sheet are considered.
