Rigorous Assessment of Natural Frequencies of Fault-Originated Travelling Waves

Mario Paolone, Hamidreza Karami, Zhaoyang Wang, Pier Luigi Dragotti

This paper presents a rigorous assessment of natural frequencies associated with fault-originated travelling waves in power networks, factoring in the presence of multiple junctions and branches. The proposed assessment exploits the Baum-Liu-Tesche (BLT) e ...

Characterisation of conditional alleles of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cytokinesis regulator byr4

Michael Grüner Vindfeldt

Regulation of cytokinesis is essential for the cell during its division cycle. Failure to do so can lead to aneuploidy, which can be fatal and lead to senescence or cancer. A useful model organism for studying cytokinesis in eukaryotes is Schizosaccharomyc ...

In Operando, Photovoltaic, and Microscopic Evaluation of Recombination Centers in Halide Perovskite-Based Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Henry Snaith, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz

The origin of the low densities of electrically active defects in Pb halide perovskite (HaP), a crucial factor for their use in photovoltaics, light emission, and radiation detection, remains a matter of discussion, in part because of the difficulty in det ...

The angiopoietin-Tie2 pathway regulates Purkinje cell dendritic morphogenesis in a cell-autonomous manner

Michele De Palma

Neuro-vascular communication is essential to synchronize central nervous system development. Here, we identify angiopoietin/Tie2 as a neuro-vascular signaling axis involved in regulating dendritic morphogenesis of Purkinje cells (PCs). We show that in the ...

Expression of E-Cadherin in Epithelial Cancer Cells Increases Cell Motility and Directionality through the Localization of ZO-1 during Collective Cell Migration

Hwanseok Jang

Collective cell migration of epithelial tumor cells is one of the important factors for elucidating cancer metastasis and developing novel drugs for cancer treatment. Especially, new roles of E-cadherin in cancer migration and metastasis, beyond the epithe ...

Yes-Associated Protein Is Required for ZO-1-Mediated Tight-Junction Integrity and Cell Migration in E-Cadherin-Restored AGS Gastric Cancer Cells

Hwanseok Jang

Yes-associated protein (YAP) regulates numerous cellular homeostasis processes and malignant transformation. We found that YAP influences ZO-1-mediated cell migration using E-cadherin-restored EC96 cells derived from gastric malignant AGS cells. Ectopic ex ...

Experimental investigation on the moment-rotation performance of pultruded FRP web-flange junctions

Thomas Keller

This paper aims to present an experimental investigation on the behavior of web-flange junctions (WFJs) rotational stiffness of pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRP). Channels and I-sections were tested using a simple set-up, which was develo ...

Evolutionary history expands the range of signaling interactions in hybrid multikinase networks

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Mohamed Barakat

Two-component systems (TCSs) are ubiquitous signaling pathways, typically comprising a sensory histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator, which communicate via intermolecular kinase-to-receiver domain phosphotransfer. Hybrid HKs constitute non-canonic ...

Variational phase-field continuum model uncovers adhesive wear mechanisms in asperity junctions

Jean-François Molinari, Sylvain Collet

Wear is well known for causing material loss in a sliding interface. Available macroscopic approaches are bound to empirical fitting parameters, which range several orders of magnitude. Major advances in tribology have recently been achieved via Molecular ...

A computational biophysical model of thalamic and reticular nucleus microcircuitry: from neurons to emergent network dynamics

Elisabetta Iavarone

The thalamus, once believed to be a simple relay station between the body periphery and the neocortex, has started to be recognized as a key player in higher-order functions, such as attention. It participates in the transition between brain states, such a ...

Membrane expression of the estrogen receptor ER alpha is required for intercellular communications in the mammary epithelium

Cathrin Brisken, Stéphanie Cagnet

17 beta-Estradiol induces the postnatal development of mammary gland and influences breast carcinogenesis by binding to the estrogen receptor ER alpha. ER alpha acts as a transcription factor but also elicits rapid signaling through a fraction of ER alpha ...

Adhesive wear mechanisms in the presence of weak interfaces: Insights from an amorphous model system

Jean-François Molinari, Tobias Brink

Engineering wear models are generally empirical and lack connections to the physical processes of debris generation at the nanoscale to microscale. Here, we thus analyze wear particle formation for sliding interfaces in dry contact with full and reduced ad ...
