Insertion of core CpG island element into human CMV promoter for enhancing recombinant protein expression stability in CHO cells by Mariati, Yeo, Jessna H. M., Koh, Esther Y. C., Ho, Steven C. L., Yang, Yuansheng

“…Low levels of CpG methylation within both WT hCMV and MR1 were observed in all the analyzed cell lines and the methylation levels did not correlate to the expression stability, suggesting IE enhances expression stability by other mechanisms other than preventing methylation.…”

Study on mechanism and influential factors of progressive collapse resistance of base-isolated structure by Bao, Chao, Zhang, Yuhang, Lv, Dahai, Wang, Huxiang, Ma, Xiaotong, Cao, Jixing, Lim, Kar Sing

“…The results show that the non-uniformity of the beams and the concentrated loading at the nodes were easy to form a linear catenary mechanism, resulting in more severe beam end damage than mid-span damage. In the case of side isolation bearing failure, due to the lack of sufficient lateral restraint, the capacity was significantly lower than other conditions, which were more likely to cause partly collapse. …”

Degradation Mechanisms and Applications in Ion Intercalation Materials by Zhuang, Debbie

“…These particles control the crucial processes for energy storage in macroscopic devices, generating a process spanning multiple length and time scales in LiBs. However, despite the ubiquitous application of LiBs in many industries, degradation limits their lifespan, hindering their broader applicability in usages demanding high energy density and extended lifespans, such as electric vehicles (EVs). …”

Experimental and numerical investigation on precast CECFST column-to-column connections subjected to axial and eccentric compression by Zhu, Gaoming, Tan, Kang Hai

“…This form of structural members has been increasingly used as columns in high-rise buildings and as piers in long-span bridges. Recently, to promote the application of CECFST columns in countries short of labour, e.g., Singapore, North America and Europe, an advanced precast CECFST column-to-column connection with rapid construction and excellent tensile performance was developed by the authors. …”

An agent-based framework for problem solving in symbiotic simulation systems by Aydt, Heiko

“…An autonomous problem solver agent which is meant to replace a human problem solver and automatically perform what-if analyses, needs to be able to solve different problems during its life span. This requires a flexible approach that does not statically hard-code information about a problem into the problem solving algorithm. …”

Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…Through use of mutagenesis, fluorescence microscopy, and live cell assays, I demonstrate that system function can be modulated by altering the secondary structure of the periplasm spanning transducer protein, TolA. I also examine the cell-wide implications of reducing TolA function in such a manner, with respect to membrane stability and cell division (chapter three). …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC
