In October 2001, the first inhalational anthrax case in the United States since 1976 was identified in a media company worker in Florida. A national investigation was initiated to identify additional cases and determine possible exposures to Bacillus anthracis. Surveillance was enhanced through health-care facilities…

Envelope methods offer targeted dimension reduction for various models. The overarching goal is to improve efficiency in multivariate parameter estimation by projecting the data onto a lower-dimensional subspace known as the envelope. Envelope approaches have advantages in analyzing data with highly correlated…

The response envelope model provides substantial efficiency gains over the standard multivariate linear regression by identifying the material part of the response to the model and by excluding the immaterial part. In this paper, we propose the enhanced response envelope by incorporating a novel envelope regularization…

Corynebacterium glutamicum is a diderm bacterium extensively used in the industrial-scale production of amino acids. Corynebacteria belong to the bacterial family Mycobacteriaceae, which is characterized by a highly unusual cell envelope with an outer membrane consisting of mycolic acids. Despite the occurrence of this…

According to the World Health Organization, the number of people infected with COVID-19 continues to increase globally, highlighting the urgent need for effective treatments. Research has shown that certain antibodies targeting the envelope (E) protein of the virus can prevent viral entry. This study aimed to…

This work describes the R package GET that implements global envelopes for a general set of d-dimensional vectors T in various applications. A 100(1 − α)% global envelope is a band bounded by two vectors such that the probability that T falls outside this envelope in any of the d points is equal to α. Global means that…

The envelope glycoproteins (Env) of retroviruses are highly diverse due to their relatively rapid evolution and the ancient origin of retroviruses. Sequence similarity among the Env of retroviruses is observed in the transmembrane subunit (TM) of Env mediating membrane fusion, whereas this similarity is more limited or…

Radiative thermoregulation has been considered a promising approach for reducing the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption of buildings and solving the global climate change issues. Electrochromism is a powerful way to dynamically control the heat balance of buildings in response to…

The Random Permutation Set (RPS) is a new type of set proposed recently, which can be regarded as the generalization of evidence theory. To measure the uncertainty of RPS, the entropy of RPS and its corresponding maximum entropy have been proposed. Exploring the maximum entropy provides a possible way of understanding…

This paper presents an additional class of regular polyhedra—envelope polyhedra—made of regular polygons, where the arrangement of polygons (creating a single surface) around each vertex is identical; but dihedral angles between faces need not be identical, and some of the dihedral angles are 0◦ (i.e., some polygons…

Tau, an axonal microtubule-associated protein, is a critical regulator of microtubule function and stability. Tau interaction with microtubules is regulated by tau phosphorylation. Tau hyperphosphorylation is implicated in microtubule destabilization related to neurodegenerative disorders. How tau phosphorylation leads…

We analyze the main arguments that attempt to explain why there is no point in changing the envelope. Most people confuse estimation and calculation, conditional and unconditional probabilities, random and non-random variables, modelling and reality, chance and uncertainty (or credence), whatever X known and whatever X…

Using the source-filter model of speech production, clean speech signals can be decomposed into an excitation component and an envelope component that is related to the phoneme being uttered. Therefore, restoring the envelope of degraded speech during speech enhancement can improve the intelligibility and quality of…

At the end of cell division, the nuclear envelope reassembles around the decondensing chromosomes. Female meiosis culminates in two consecutive cell divisions of the oocyte, meiosis I and II, which are separated by a brief transition phase known as interkinesis. Due to the absence of chromosome decondensation and the…

'Eduardus A. B. Koenders' 'Antonio Caggiano'] This work proposes a numerical procedure to simulate and optimize the thermal response of a multilayered wallboard system for building envelopes, where each layer can be possibly made of Phase Change Materials (PCM)-based composites to take advantage of their Thermal-Energy…

Alpha-helical membrane proteins perform numerous critical functions essential for the survival of living organisms. Traditionally, these proteins are extracted from membranes using detergent solubilization and reconstitution into liposomes or nanodiscs. However, these processes often obscure the effects of…

Nucleophagy, the selective subtype of autophagy that targets nuclear material for autophagic degradation, was not only shown to be a model system for the study of selective macroautophagy, but also for elucidating the role of the core autophagic machinery within microautophagy. Nucleophagy also emerged as a system…

At least four Bacillus anthracis-containing envelopes destined for New York City and Washington, D.C., were processed at the Trenton Processing and Distribution Center (PDC) on September 18 and October 9, 2001. When cutaneous anthrax was confirmed in a Trenton postal worker, the PDC was closed. Four cutaneous and two…

The nuclear envelope is a membrane separating nuclear from cytoplasmic processes. Existing models suggest that damaged DNA moves to the envelope at the edge of the nucleus for repair. Yet, most damaged human DNA does not reposition to the nuclear periphery during repair. Here we show that human cells relocate the…

HIV-1 Env mediates viral entry into host cells and is the sole target for neutralizing antibodies. However, Env structure and organization in its native virion context has eluded detailed characterization. Here we used cryo-electron tomography to analyze Env in mature and immature HIV-1 particles. Immature particles…

Fusion of enveloped viruses with endosomal membranes and subsequent release of viral genome into the cytoplasm is crucial to the viral infection cycle. It is often modelled by carrying out fusion between virus particles and target lipid vesicles. We utilized fluorescence microscopy to characterize the kinetic and…

Viral binding and membrane fusion are essential steps in viral infection, mediated by viral proteins that bind to host cell receptors and facilitate the fusion between viral and host membranes. Targeting these steps for the development of new antiviral strategies requires methods that enable investigating…
