The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Cab45G trafficking through the insulin secretory pathway is altered in human type 2 diabetes by Germanos, M, Yau, B, Taper, M, Yeoman, C, Wilson, A, An, Y, Cattin-Ortolá, J, Maslar, D, Tong, J, Naghiloo, S, Needham, EJ, van der Kraan, AG, Sun, K, Loudovaris, T, Diaz-Vegas, A, Larance, M, Thomas, H, von Blume, J, Thorn, P, Ailion, M, Asensio, CS, Kebede, MA

“…In type 2 diabetes (T2D), the rate of insulin secretory granule biogenesis can limit insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Using rat insulinoma INS1 β-cells, we show that the soluble Ca2+-binding/trafficking protein, Cab45G, serves as a non-essential chaperone for insulin granule biogenesis. …”

Fatigue investigations on steel pipeline containing 3D coplanar and non-coplanar cracks by Xiao, Zhongmin, Zhang, Wengang, Zhang, Yanmei, Fan, Mu

“…Fluctuated loadings from currents, waves and sea ground motions are observed on offshore steel pipelines, and they will result in small cracks to propagate continuously and cause unexpected damage to offshore/geotechnical infrastructures. In spite of the availability of efficient techniques and high-power computers for solving crack problems, investigations on the fatigue life of offshore pipelines with 3D interacting cracks are still rarely found in open literature. …”
