Pyrroloquinoline quinone aza-crown ether complexes as biomimetics for lanthanide and calcium dependent alcohol dehydrogenases by Vetsova, Violeta A., Fisher, Katherine R., Lumpe, Henning, Schäfer, Alexander, Schneider, Erik K., Weis, Patrik, Daumann, Lena J.

“…We show that when studying biomimetics for MDH, larger metal ions and those with lower charge in this case promote the dehydrogenation reaction more effectively and that this is likely an effect of the ligand design which must be considered when studying biomimetics. …”

ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase encoding genes in E. coli from pig and pig farm workers in Vietnam and their association with mobile genetic elements by Hounmanou, Yaovi Mahuton Gildas, Bortolaia, Valeria, Dang, Son Thi Thanh, Truong, Duong, Olsen, John E., Dalsgaard, Anders

“…The isolates carrying the plasmids, even those with plasmids of similar types, showed wide genetic variation with high number of SNPs, suggesting horizontal spread of plasmids into different clonal lines. Their virulence profiles did not confirm to known pathotypes, suggesting that unrelated commensals are a main reservoir for ESBL and AmpC β-lactamases in both humans and pigs. …”

Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…Our results reveal the critical role that spectral graph-theoretic properties of the measurement network play in controlling estimation accuracy; moreover, as a by-product of our analysis we obtain new bounds on the estimation error for the maximum likelihood estimators in SLAM and RA, which are likely to be of independent interest. Finally, we show experimentally that our spectral estimator is very effective in practice, producing initializations of comparable or superior quality at lower computational cost compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques.…”

Development of a perfusable, hierarchical microvasculature-on-a-chip model by Chen, Sophia W., Blazeski, Adriana, Zhang, Shun, Shelton, Sarah E., Offeddu, Giovanni S., Kamm, Roger D.

“…The addition of collagen channels reduces the apparent permeability of the central capillary region, likely by reducing leakage from the side channels, enabling more accurate measurements of vascular permeability—an important motivation for this study. …”

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) can be suppressed under ammonia-stressed condition - reevaluate the role of conductive materials by Yan, Wangwang, Mukherjee, Manisha, Zhou, Yan

“…It is revealed that ZVI effectively promoted all AD reactions, especially the energy unfavorable propanoate and butanoate metabolism and overall methanogenesis. In addition, ZVI likely acted as intracellular electron shuttles, and the conjunction point of ZVI to electron transfer system was identified as EtfAB: quinone oxidoreductase. …”

Intelligence failure in U.S. counterterrorism by King, Brian Allen

“…This is significant because it supports the conclusion that more can be done in the analytical and information sharing domains to prevent al-Qaeda and insider threat attacks, while supporting the idea that state-sponsored attacks will be less likely to have data available to connect prior to an attack due to the higher degree of professionalism and advanced operational security resources available to government intelligence services supporting the attack planning.…”
