In the fungal model Ustilago maydis, chitinase Cts1 is secreted via an unconventional pathway connected to cell separation which can be used to co-export heterologous proteins. Here, we apply this mechanism for the production of nanobodies. First, we achieved expression and unconventional secretion ...
One of the focuses of this work is to utilize analytic modelling, where the micromirror plate and actuators are considered as an entire system, to improve the mechanical efficiency for realizing high frequency, large displacement and low consumption. Piezoelectric micromirrors are usually driven by ...
An independent comparison of hand vs. semi-mechanical harvesting was performed utilizing a number of physiological approaches: electromyograms (EMG), rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) was conducted for estimating the postural risks of work-related upper limb injury [29]. EMG is a measure of the...
Since coastal hazard assessments take considerable time and resources, one difficulty faced by local government is knowing what hazard scenarios to model to provide an appropriate range of information to support the DAPP process. The 'uncertainty framework for coastal hazard assessment' outlined in ...
An appropriate threshold of the built-up class from the output of the equation can be used for mapping built-up and non-built-up areas. A test was conducted on the number of built-up pixels by selecting values 0.72 and higher as built-up for the study area while lower than this ...
Abstract: A new technology was recently developed for municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash stabilization, based on the employment of all waste and byproduct materials. In particular, the proposed method is based on the use of amorphous silica contained in rice husk ash (RHA), an ...
3.3.2. Identifying the Future Urban Sprawl MC analysis is an appropriate tool for modeling LUC when alterations in the landscape are hard to explain. The model can be served as a metric of the direction of alterations in the future due to the ability to describe the projection trends of ...
Furthermore, because the stevia solid matrix components had an ellipsoid geometry, the diffusion values in Equation (1) had to be altered. Gaston et al. [43] found a procedure to evaluate the correct De value for the considered geometry, using the following expression: De = fe2 × D, (5...
In Germany, a method called Getrac, which is a system with an asphalt base layer, was approved as a construction type of ballastless track system for high speeds. Studies indicated that the system has benefits similar to other ballastless types while being fast and easy for construction. ...
