Sororin actively maintains sister chromatid cohesion by Ladurner, Rene, Kreidl, Emanuel, Ivanov, Miroslav P., Ekker, Heinz, Idarraga‐Amado, Maria H., Busslinger, Georg A., Wutz, Gordana, Cisneros, David A., Peters, Jan‐Michael

“…Cohesion between sister chromatids is established during DNA replication but needs to be maintained to enable proper chromosome–spindle attachments in mitosis or meiosis. Cohesion is mediated by cohesin, but also depends on cohesin acetylation and sororin. …”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”

Investigating the role of phosphatases in the regulation of mitosis by Leitch, I

“…Many aspects of mitosis including the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and formation of stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments are regulated by dynamic and reversible phosphorylation reactions carried out by kinases and phosphatases. …”

Extremely versatile deformability beyond materiality : a new material platform through simple cutting for rugged batteries by Kim, Kee-Bum, Lee, Young-Joo, Costa, Avelino, Lee, Yu-Ki, Jang, Tae-Sik, Lee, Myoung-Gyu, Joo, Young-Chang, Oh, Kyu Hwan, Song, Juha, Choi, In-Suk

“…In particular, an auxetic cut flexible substrate accommodates various complex deformations and adaptive conformations through the hinge joints because the external force is highly localized in the hinges while the segmented motifs remain almost undeformed. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”

Accelerating black objects and their holographic duals by Boido, A

“…Both <em>Y</em>7 and <em>Y</em>9 are total spaces of fibrations with codimension two Sasakian fibres over a two-dimensional orbifold known as spindle. The latter is topologically a two-sphere but has conical deficits angles parametrized by coprime integers m± ∈ N whose physical effect is indeed to turn on the acceleration.…”
