Virtual simulation experiment of the design and manufacture of a beer bottle-defect detection system. by Yuxiang Zhao, Xiaowei An, Nongliang Sun

“…Results: The results showed that the virtual-simulation system received much better experimental feedback, which facilitated the design and manufacture of a beer bottle-defect detection system. The specialized functions of the functional modules in the detection system, including a basic experimental operation menu, power switch, image shooting, image processing, and manipulator grasping, allowed students (or virtual designers) to easily build a detection system by retrieving basic models from the model library, and creating the beer-bottle transportation, image shooting, image processing, defect detection, and defective-product removal. …”

Parkinson disease related ATP13A2 evolved early in animal evolution. by Danny Mollerup Sørensen, Tine Holemans, Sarah van Veen, Shaun Martin, Tugce Arslan, Ida Winther Haagendahl, Henrik Waldal Holen, Norin Nabil Hamouda, Jan Eggermont, Michael Palmgren, Peter Vangheluwe

“…While most P5-type ATPases are widely expressed, some P5B-type ATPases (ATP13A4 and ATP13A5) display a more limited tissue distribution in the brain and epithelial glandular cells, where they may exert specialized functions. At least some P5B isoforms are of vital importance for the nervous system, since ATP13A2 and ATP13A4 are linked to respectively Parkinson disease and autism spectrum disorders.…”
