A novel role for peptidylarginine deiminases in microvesicle release reveals therapeutic potential of PAD inhibition in sensitizing prostate cancer cells to chemotherapy by Kholia, Sharadkumar Rajnikant, Jorfi, Samireh, Thompson, Paul R., Causey, Corey P., Nicholas, Anthony P., Inal, Jameel, Lange, Sigrun

“…INTRODUCTION: Protein deimination, defined as the post-translational conversion of protein-bound arginine to citrulline, is carried out by a family of 5 calcium-dependent enzymes, the peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) and has been linked to various cancers. Cellular microvesicle (MV) release, which is involved in cancer progression, and deimination have not been associated before. …”

Structural basis for the design of selective complexing agents for transition metals by Drummond, Laurel A.

“…The molecules reassemble macrocyclic systems, due to effective intramolecular hydrogen bonding linking the two ligands. To correlate chelating properties with intramolecular H-bond strengths an X-ray structural analysis was carried out on one ligand supplied by ICI, and thought to be 3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxy acetophenone methoxyimine. …”

Drivers, barriers and strategies for bioenergy dissemination in EU rural cross-border regions : a case study of the border region between Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic by Meyer, Maria

“…Despite the fact that they are a unique category and require special consideration there is almost an academic void in respect of research focusing on renewable energy linked to border regions. This research addresses the following key aspects: the crucial factors required for bioenergy dissemination and the special characteristics of European border regions, and analyzes stakeholders´ perceptions along the bioenergy supply chain. …”

Real time detection of malicious webpages using machine learning techniques by Ahmed, Shafi

“…The thesis proposes to use various machine learning algorithms, both supervised and unsupervised to categorise webpages based on parsing their features such as content (which played the most important role in this thesis), URL information, URL links and screenshots of webpages. The features were then converted to a format understandable by machine learning algorithms which analysed these features to make one important decision: whether a given webpage is malicious or not, using commonly available software and hardware. …”

An epigenetic locus associated with loss of smell in COVID-19 by Aslan, Elif Sibel, White, Kenneth, Meral, Gulsen, Akcay, Zeyneb Nur, Altundag, Aytug, Gur, Savas, Dokur, Mehmet, Baktir, Mehmet Akif, Batur, Lutfiye Karcioglu

“…Previous studies, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have identified genetic variants near the UGT2A1 and UGT2A2 genes that are linked to anosmia in COVID-19 patients. However, the role of epigenetic changes in the development and persistence of smell loss has not been well explored. …”

Evaluating the need for and choice of a seaport hub in the eastern Mediterranean region based on the merits of international logistics - supply chain by Vassilopoulos, Petros

“…Feedback from Liner operators was minimal, so the author decided to view the matter on a more global basis, and more specifically, from the international logistics supply chain with focus on lead time. A supply chain links all activities of cargoes from source to user, that is, from the raw material until goods are delivered to the end customer. …”
