Structural and biochemical mechanisms of NLRP1 inhibition by DPP9 by Huang, Menghang, Zhang, Xiaoxiao, Toh, Gee Ann, Gong, Qin, Wang, Jia, Han, Zhifu, Wu, Bin, Zhong, Franklin, Chai, Jijie

“…Activation of the NLR protein NLRP1 requires autocleavage within its function-to-find domain (FIIND)1-7. In resting cells, the dipeptidyl peptidases DPP8 and DPP9 interact with the FIIND of NLRP1 and suppress spontaneous NLRP1 activation8,9; however, the mechanisms through which this occurs remain unknown. …”

MCMC inversion of the transient and steady-state creep flow law parameters of dunite under dry and wet conditions by Masuti, Sagar, Barbot, Sylvain

“…We determine the flow law parameters for dunites using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We find the activation energy 430 ± 20 and 250 ± 10 kJ/mol for dry and wet conditions, respectively, and the stress exponent 2.0 ± 0.1 for both the dry and wet cases for transient creep, consistently lower than those of steady-state creep, suggesting a separate physical mechanism. …”

Free-electron crystals for enhanced X-ray radiation by Wong, Wesley Lee Wei, Shi, Xihang, Karnieli, Aviv, Lim, Jeremy, Kumar, Suraj, Carbajo, Sergio, Kaminer, Ido, Wong, Liang Jie

“…Furthermore, we show how to shape the bremsstrahlung X-ray emission pattern into arbitrary angular emission profiles for purposes such as unidirectionality and multi-directionality. Importantly, we find that these enhancements and shaped emission profiles cannot be attributed solely to the spatial overlap between the electron probability distribution and the atomic centers, as predicted by the paraxial and non-recoil theory for free electron light emission. …”

Knowledge-based simulation of a final assembly process in the hard disk drive industry by Koh, Boon Khai.

“…Due to the dynamic and uncertain characteristics in the final assembly process, many problems such as inventory buildup, long leadtime, etc. widely exist. In order to man-age and control the assembly line effectively, as well as reduce the inventory and im-prove the throughput, computer simulation is an obvious potential solution. …”
