Functional comparison of human Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) and APC-like in targeting beta-catenin for degradation by Schneikert, Jean, Chandra, Shree Harsha Vijaya, Ruppert, Jan Gustav, Ray, Suparna, Wenzel, Eva Maria, Behrens, Jürgen

“…Using RNA interference and domain swapping experiments, we show that APCL benefits from the 15R of truncated APC to target β-catenin for degradation, in a process likely involving heterodimerization of the two partners. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants by Mulder, T, Mortimer, B, Ferwerda, J, Vollrath, F

“…We conclude that climate change makes a strong case for studying elephant behaviours in response to environmental cues during the day and night, especially in dry-land study sites like Northern Kenya.…”

GOLDEN2-like1 is sufficient but not necessary for chloroplast biogenesis in mesophyll cells of C4 grasses by Lambret-Frotte, J, Smith, G, Langdale, J

“…In land plants, chloroplast biogenesis is regulated by a family of transcription factors named GOLDEN2-like (GLK). In C4 grasses, it has been hypothesized that genome duplication events led to the sub-functionalization of GLK paralogs (GLK1 and GLK2) to control chloroplast biogenesis in two distinct cell types: mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. …”

Dynamic liquid-liquid interface: applying a spinning interfacial microreactor to actively converge biphasic reactants for the enhanced interfacial reaction by Ng, Li Shiuan, Chong, Carice, Lok, Xin Yi, Pereira, Veronica, Ang, Zhi Zhong, Han, Xuemei, Li, Haitao, Lee, Hiang Kwee

“…Herein, we achieve an efficient interfacial reaction by creating a magnetic-responsive, microscale liquid-liquid interface and exploit its dynamic spinning motion to generate vortex-like hydrodynamic flows that rapidly converge biphasic reactants to the point-of-reaction. …”

Hybrid sensor fusion for unmanned ground vehicle by Guan, Mingyang

“…Typically, the SLAM system relies on the information collected from the sensors, like LiDAR, camera and IMU, which either suffers from accumulated localization error due to the lack of global reference, or requires more time to detect the loop closure yet reduces the efficiency. …”

The effect of bonding structure of diamond like carbon (DLC) film with surface nickel coating upon laser annealing by Xu, Naiyun, Tsang, Siu Hon, Tan, Chong Wei, Teo, Hang Tong, Wang, Xincai, Tay, Beng Kang

“…The Raman spectra shows more pronounced change for a-C films with Ni coating than those without Ni coating upon laser annealing, and the Raman features also suggest that the Ni surface coating can enhance formation of the six-ring graphitic-like sp2 ordering. Electrical measurement shows a low resistive characteristic for both set of films due to laser induced conducting sp2 clusters formation.…”
