Abstract Background Microbial-driven decomposition of plant residues is integral to carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems.Actinobacteria, one of the most widely distributed bacterial phyla in soils, are known for their ability to degrade plant residues in vitro.However, their in situ importance and specific activity across contrasting ecol
The Diphtheria Toxin Translocation Domain Impairs Receptor Selectivity in Cancer Cell-Targeted Protein Nanoparticles
Protein-based materials intended as nanostructured drugs or drug carriers are progressively gaining interest in nanomedicine, since their structure, assembly and cellular interactivity can be tailored by recruiting functional domains.The main bottleneck in the development of deliverable protein materials is the lysosomal degradation that follows en
A Novel Ionospheric Disturbance Index to Evaluate the Global Effect on BeiDou Navigation Satellite System Signal Caused by the Moderate Geomagnetic Storm on May 12, 2021
In this paper, we propose a new method to quantitatively evaluate the quality of the copyright phase observation signals of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) during weak and moderate geomagnetic storms.We take a moderate geomagnetic storm that occurred on 12 May 2021 during the 25th solar cycle as an example.The results show that the new
A grid gradient approximation method of energy-efficient gait planning for biped robots
In this article, an energy-efficient gait planning algorithm that utilizes both 3D body motion and an allowable zero moment point region (AZR) is presented for biped robots based on a five-mass inverted lycogel pendulum model.The product of the load torque and angular velocity of all joint motors is used as an energy index function (EIF) to evaluat
Influence of Decoupled Charge Structure and Filler on the Blasting Effect
This study compared models of specimens with different filler media and decoupled charge structures in terms of the blasting effect.The test system combined a high-speed camera and high-speed static strain test analyzer.A physical model of a concrete single-borehole decoupled charge structure was designed to study the geometric elements of the blas
