Global sensitivity analysis of the Indian monsoon during the Pleistocene
Abstract. The sensitivity of the Indian monsoon to the full spectrum of climatic conditions experienced during the Pleistocene is estimated using the climate model HadCM3. The methodology follows a global sensitivity analysis based on the emulator approach of Oakley and O'Hagan (2004) implemented following a three-step...

Bacterial adhesion control through surface targeted regulation
Fundamental investigations of bacterial adhesion will create the knowledge base to advance surface engineering approaches. Directed mutagenesis of adhesin genes in several oral pathogens will be used to create a library of knockout strains. Recombinant adhesins will also be over-expressed in E.coli. Assays will be deve...

The role of minerals in the oceanic carbon cycle
The oceanic carbon cycle is key for regulating the Earth system because, in sediments and seawater, the balance between the degradation and preservation of organic carbon (OC) exerts a first order control on atmospheric CO2 and O2. In sediments, OC is preserved over millions of years, while in seawater, a dissolved for...

The Dawn of Organic Chemistry
Terrestrial life is based on organic chemistry, on the complex combination of relatively small molecules containing less than 50 atoms of carbon and other elements in smaller quantities. Some of these bricks, notably amino acids, are found in meteoritic and cometary material, a fact (among others) which led the Nobel l...

T-SNARE Transmembrane Domain Clustering Modulates Lipid Organization and Membrane Curvature
The t-SNARE complex plays a central role in neuronal fusion. Its components, syntaxin-1 and SNAP25, are largely present in individual clusters and partially colocalize at the presumptive fusion site. How these protein clusters modify local lipid composition and membrane morphology is largely unknown. In this work, usin...

Cost-Effective and resource-saving smart shower
Showering accounts for 36% of water and 25% of heating consumption in an average European household. In an average 8.5 minutes shower, nearly 80L of warm and relatively clean water goes down the drain wasting also 90% of the energy used to heat the water. These figures, together with the worldwide water scarcity and en...

The sociobiology of molecular systems
It is often assumed that molecular systems are designed to maximize the competitive ability of the organism that carries them. In reality, natural selection acts on both cooperative and competitive phenotypes, across multiple scales of biological organization. Here I ask how the potential for social effects in evolutio...

Learning Aided Unary Error Correction Codes For Non Stationary And Unknown Sources
Unary error correction (UEC) codes have recently been proposed for the joint source and channel coding of symbol values that are selected from a set having an infinite cardinality. However, the original UEC scheme requires the knowledge of the source probability distribution, in order to achieve near-capacity operation...

Predeformation and Subsequent Annealing—A Way for Controlling Morphology of Carbides in Large Dimensional Bulk Nanocrystalline Fe-Al-Cr Alloy
In this study, a processing route is introduced to control the morphology of carbide and the grain size of nanocrystalline matrix of Fe-Al-Cr alloy. After predeformation followed by annealing treatment, the grain size of nanocrystalline matrix decreased slightly and the Cr7C3 phases transformed from a fiber shape to th...

Novel H6Pdh Mutations In Two Girls With Premature Adrenarche Apparent And True Crd Can Be Differentiated By Urinary Steroid Profiling
Context: Inactivating mutations in the enzyme hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH, encoded by H6PD) cause apparent cortisone reductase deficiency (ACRD). H6PDH generates cofactor NADPH for 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11b-HSD1, encoded by HSD11B1) oxo-reductase activity, converting cortisone to cortisol...

High-Dimensional Single-Cell Analysis Identifies Organ-Specific Signatures and Conserved NK Cell Subsets in Humans and Mice
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) involved in antimicrobial and antitumoral responses. Several NK cell subsets have been reported in humans and mice, but their heterogeneity across organs and species remains poorly characterized. We assessed the diversity of human and mouse NK cells by single-c...
