Relationship between synoptic scale meteorology, aircraft parameters, and observable contrails by Barbosa, Maria Paula

“…All algorithms rely on the use of "similarity measures" which we define as the differences in distance, heading, and altitude between a contrail and flight line segment candidates. We define two-dimensional (2D) algorithms as those that use only distance and heading difference measures and the ones that additionally include altitude as three-dimensional (3D) algorithms. …”

Autoinhibition releasing provides a platform for developing p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) activators for hypertrophic heart diseases by He, Y

“…In addition, mutagenesis and structural studies unveiled an allosteric site, termed the 'DEK' (encompassing the key structural elements DFG motif, Glu315 on the αC helix, and kinase inhibitory segment), crucial in modulating kinase activity.</p> <p>To gain a deeper understanding of the action mechanism underlying PAK1 small molecule activators, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), superresolution single molecular imaging, and mass photometry were applied to illustrate the conformational changes and alterations in PAK1 dimerization upon the binding of small molecule activators. …”

Structural and mechanistic insights into the Rel protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Singal, Bharti

“…The MtRel NTD in the presence of TGS domain showed almost similar synthetic activity as of MtRel NTD and approximately 3 fold higher than that of MtRel showing auto-inhibition by rest of the C-terminus MtRel segment. The MtRel ACT structure was determined as a dimer and the oligomeric state was further confirmed using SAXS. …”

Near-IR and mid-IR (1.55 μm – 2 μm) silicon photonics devices on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform by Zhang, Zecen

“…Furthermore, the mid-infrared (MIR, 2-15 μm) band is also very crucial as many gases and molecules have unique absorption fingerprints in this regime. Hence there is enormous interest in practical realization of passive and optoelectronic devices operating in the MIR range, including optical sensing and environmental monitoring, free-space communications, bio-medical and thermal imaging. …”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…With the 1.5-sided model, a regular non-rupture stable pattern is found in the Rayleigh–Taylor unstable layer due to local evaporation and condensation in the diffusion-limited regime. This is in sharp contrast to the prediction of the one-sided model without the convective and diffusive effects of vapor, where local rupture always occurs in finite time. …”
