Homologous Lympho-epithelial Kazal-type inhibitor domains delay blood coagulation by inhibiting factor X and XI with differential specificity by Ramesh, Karthik, Lama, Dilraj, Tan, Kang Wei, Nguyen, Van Sang, Chew, Fook Tim, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Mok, Yu Keung

“…Despite being initially identified in the blood filtrate, LEKTI is a 15-domain Kazal-type inhibitor mostly known in the regulation of skin desquamation. In the current study, screening of serine proteases in blood coagulation cascade showed that LEKTI domain 4 has inhibitory activity toward only FXIa, whereas LEKTI domain 6 inhibits both FXIa and FXaB (bovine FXa). …”

Investigation on the braking characteristics of tractor-trailer on jackknifing by Gan, Zhilong

“…The results show that when the wheels remains in rolling motion, the brake input needs to be sufficient enough so as to inhibit the translational motion of the vehicle as well as work against the trailer swing motion or tractor spin-out. On the other hand, when the wheels are in sliding motion, the effective braking force exerted on the wheels is reduced and therefore increases the chance of jackknifing again. …”
