Structure and function of the smoothened extracellular domain in vertebrate hedgehog signaling by Rohatgi, Rajat, Nachtergaele, Sigrid, Whalen, Daniel M, Mydock, Laurel K, Zhao, Zhonghua, Malinauskas, Tomas, Krishnan, Kathiresan, Covey, Douglas F, Siebold, Christian, Ingham, Philip William

“…The oxysterol-binding groove in the Smo CRD is analogous to that used by Frizzled 8 to bind to the palmitoleyl group of Wnt ligands and to similar pockets used by other Frizzled-like CRDs to bind hydrophobic ligands. The CRD is required for signaling in response to native Hh ligands, showing that it is an important regulatory module for Smo activation. …”

Estimation of electric stress and surface potential for traction insulators by Reddy, B Subba, Madhulita, Monali, Chaudhuri, Tanaya

“…Constant exposure to detrimental effects of vandalism, and mechanical vibrations begets certain faults like shorting of sheds or cracks in the sheds. Due to fault in one/two sheds, stress on the remaining healthy sheds increases, owing to atmospheric pollution the stress may lead to a flashover of the insulator. …”

Deep learning assisted optical wavefront shaping in disordered medium by Luo, Yunqi, Li, Huanhao, Zhang, Ruochong, Lai, Puxiang, Zheng, Yuanjin

“…Wavefront shaping (WFS) has been put forward several years ago to break the limitation caused by optical scattering in inhomogeneous medium, and realize optical focusing in disordered medium like biological tissues. However, usually, with traditional methods, WFS is time consuming and not cost efficient since it requires long time to obtain the information of the scattering medium. …”

Stress singularity of a notch in a higher-order elastic solid under anti-plane deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…Specifically, for a given notch angle the stress exponent becomes more negative with decrease in the first Lamé constant λ and the third-order elastic constant n, and with the increase in the magnitude of the negative third-order constant m, while it varies non-monotonically with the second Lamé constant (shear modulus) µ.These results have significant implications for notch-like defects in soft solids, e.g., replacement tissues, industrial robots and devices in biomedical applications.…”
