Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is a numerical method that seeks to fit time-series data to a linear dynamical system. In doing so, DMD decomposes dynamic data into spatially coherent modes that evolve in time according to exponential growth/decay or with a fixed frequency of oscillation. A widespread application of DMD has been to video, where one inter ...

In this study, two thermostable endoglucanases (Rem_GH5EG and Rem_GH7EG) from Rasamsonia emersonii were heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris and characterized to evaluate their potential for industrial biomass saccharification. Rem_GH5EG demonstrated markedly superior catalytic efficiency toward barley ß-glucan (kcat/Km = 6.3 × 10-3/mg mL/min), whi ...

Purpose: Virtual reality (VR) can offer immersive platforms for segmenting complex medical images to facilitate a better understanding of anatomical structures for training, diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation. These applications rely on user interaction within the VR environment to manipulate and interpret medical data. However, the op ...

The Escherichia coli enterobactin biosynthetic protein EntB is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of isochorismate via its N-terminal isochorismatase (IC) domain, and then transfers phosphopantetheinylated 2,3-DHB to EntF via the EntB C-terminal aryl carrier protein (ArCP) domain. Here we used a fluorescence anisotropy binding assay to invest ...

The interactions between sugar maple (Acer saccharum, Marshall) and its microbial communities are important for tree fitness, growth, and establishment. Despite recent progress in our understanding of the rhizosphere and phyllosphere microbial communities of sugar maple, many outstanding knowledge gaps remain. This review delves into the relationships bet ...

Many processes can contribute to the attenuation of the frequently detected and toxic herbicides atrazine and metolachlor in surface water, including photodegradation. Multi-element compound-specific isotope analysis has the potential to decipher between these different degradation pathways as Cl is a promising tool for both pathway identification and a s ...

Clinical ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles remain intravascular and are between 1-8 µm in diameter, with a volume-weighted mean size of 2-3 µm. Despite their worldwide clinical utility as a diagnostic contrast agent, and their continued and ongoing success as a local therapeutic vector, the fundamental interplay between microbubbles - including bubbl ...

We consider a general class of autocatalytic reactions, which has been shown to display stochastic switching behaviour (discreteness-induced transitions (DITs)) in some parameter regimes. This behaviour was shown to occur either when the overall species count is low or when the rate of inflow and outflow of species is relatively much smaller than the rate ...

Ozone is a hazardous air pollutant with significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. With the growing industrial use of ozone, effective ozone removal systems have become essential, especially to protect workers' health. MnOx-based catalysts offer substantial promise for ozone decomposition; however, a major challenge in their appl ...

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO3RR) is very attractive for nitrate removal and ammonia production in industrial processes. However, the nitrate reduction reaction is characterized by intense hydrogen competition at strong reduction potentials, which greatly limits the Faraday efficiency at strong reduction potentials. Herein, we reported ...
