Structure of a protective epitope reveals the importance of acetylation of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A capsular polysaccharide
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-11-24)Meningococcal meningitis remains a substantial cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Until recently, countries in the African meningitis belt were susceptible to devastating outbreaks, largely attributed to serogroup ... -
Structure of HIV-1 gp41 with its Membrane Anchors Targeted by Neutralizing Antibodies
(eLife Sciences, 2021-04-19)The HIV-1 gp120/gp41 trimer undergoes a series of conformational changes in order to catalyze gp41-induced fusion of viral and cellular membranes. Here, we present the crystal structure of gp41 locked in a fusion intermediate ... -
Study of paraffinic and biobased microencapsulated PCMs with reduced graphene oxide as thermal energy storage elements in cement-based materials for building applications
(Elsevier, 2024-02-15)Addition of different types of phase change materials (PCMs) to cement-based materials for thermal energy storage has been broadly investigated in the literature. Many studies have researched the addition of organic PCMs ... -
Study of the Environmental Implications of Using Metal Powder in Additive Manufacturing and Its Handling
(MDPI, 2020-02-17)Additive Manufacturing, AM, is considered to be environmentally friendly when compared to conventional manufacturing processes. Most researchers focus on resource consumption when performing the corresponding Life Cycle ... -
Study of ¯B0→D+h−(h=K/π) decays at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2022)[EN] We present a measurement of the branching fractions of the Cabibbo favored (B) over bar (0) -> D+pi(-) and the Cabibbo suppressed (B) over bar (0) -> D+K- decays. We find B((B) over bar (0) -> D+pi(-)) = (2.48 +/- ... -
Subaltern forms of knowledge are required to boost local adaptation
(One Earth, 2021-06-18)Evidence shows that current adaptation planning approaches are not always successful in generating actionable knowledge to guide implementation on the ground. There remains a persistent disconnect between the production ... -
Subsurface chemical nanoidentification by nano-FTIR spectroscopy
(Nature, 2020-07-03)Nano-FTIR spectroscopy based on Fourier transform infrared near-field spectroscopy allows for label-free chemical nanocharacterization of organic and inorganic composite surfaces. The potential capability for subsurface ... -
SUMOylation in the control of cholesterol homeostasis
(The Royal Society, 2020-05)SUMOylation-protein modification by the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-affects several cellular processes by modulating the activity, stability, interactions or subcellular localization of a variety of substrates. ... -
Superconducting circuit architecture for digital-analog quantum computing
(Springer, 2022)[EN] We propose a superconducting circuit architecture suitable for digital-analog quantum computing (DAQC) based on an enhanced NISQ family of nearest-neighbor interactions. DAQC makes a smart use of digital steps (single ... -
Superconducting spintronic tunnel diode
(Nature, 2022-05-04)Diodes are characterized by mono-directional flow of current, yet this simplicity belies their critical importance in electronics and optics. Here, Strambini et al demonstrate a superconducting quasi-particle equivalent, ... -
Supervised Deep Learning with Finite Element simulations for damage identification in bridges
(Elsevier, 2022-04-15)[EN] This work proposes a supervised Deep Learning approach for damage identification in bridge structures. We employ a hybrid methodology that incorporates Finite Element simulations to enrich the training phase of a Deep ... -
Suppressing Co-Crystallization of Halogenated Non-Fullerene Acceptors for Thermally Stable Ternary Solar Cells
(Wiley, 2020-11)While photovoltaic blends based on non-fullerene acceptors are touted for their thermal stability, this type of acceptor tends to crystallize, which can result in a gradual decrease in photovoltaic performance and affects ... -
Suppression of the Self-Nucleation Effect of Semicrystalline Polymers by Confinement
(ACS, 2021-04-15)The melt memory effect is well-known in polymer crystallization. It is caused by self-nuclei that persist above the melting temperature. The origin and physical nature of self-nuclei are still under debate. In this work, ... -
Surface state tunable energy and mass renormalization from homothetic quantum dot arrays
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-12-28)Quantum dot arrays in the form of molecular nanoporous networks are renowned for modifying the electronic surface properties through quantum confinement. Here we show that, compared to the pristine surface state, the band ... -
Survey on virtual coaching for older adults
(Sage, 2020-12)Virtual coaching has emerged as a promising solution to extend independent living for older adults. A virtual coach system is an always-attentive personalized system that continuously monitors user's activity and surroundings ... -
