Characterising the iron dependence of T-cells by Teh, MR

“…Higher aspartate is proposed to be partly driven by suppressed aspartate usage by downstream iron-dependent pathways including translation and nucleotide synthesis. …”

Human nature, after all: affective realism in Russian foreign policy by Edinger, H

“…Its actions have repeatedly blindsided foreign policy analysis. That is partly due to shortcomings of predominant theoretical paradigms in International Relations. …”

Tileable superconducting quantum circuits with magnetic flux control by Fasciati, SD

“…Superconducting circuits are a leading platform for quantum information processing, partly due to the great freedom of tailoring circuit parameters which enables the implementation of a wide variety of Hamiltonians. …”

Oxazolidinone antibiotics impair ex vivo megakaryocyte differentiation from hematopoietic progenitor cells and their maturation into platelets by Milosevic, TV, Vertenoeil, G, Vainchenker, W, Tulkens, PM, Constantinescu, SN, Van Bambeke, F

“…As mitochondrial activity is essential for megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation into platelets, we examined whether oxazolidinones impair these processes ex vivo and alter, in parallel, the activity of mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase (CYTOX; enzyme partly encoded by the mitochondrial genome) and cell morphology. …”

Performance of photogrammetry-based makeshift 3D scanning system for geometrical object in reverse engineering by Muhammad Nur Farhan, Saniman, Hariz Syahmi, Zulkifli, Muhammad Izhar, Ishak, Khairul Anuar, Abd Wahid, Amzari, Zhahir, Wan Mansor, Wan Muhamad

“…In some cases, a makeshift 3D scanner is needed immediately, such as for emergency spare parts reproduction. Thus, this research aims to investigate the feasibility of a low-cost makeshift 3D scanner using a mobile phone and the photogrammetry method in reconstructing digital 3D models of geometrical objects. …”
