Abstract A specific group of transmembrane receptors, including the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR), is internalized through a non-clathrin pathway known as Fast Endophilin Mediated Endocytosis (FEME). key question is: how does endocytic machinery assemble and it modulated by activated receptors during FEME. Here we show that endophilin, major regulator FEME, undergoes phase transition into liquid-like condensates, which facilitates formation multi-protein assemblies enabling partitioning...
Simulating blockchain technology within the IoT has never been as important. Along with this comes need to find suitable simulators capable of simulating networks an environment. Despite there being a wide variety simulators, not all are environment and for every This article will review previously published works present list well few untested that have potential simulate A total 18 presented discussed in paper. In addition, comprehensive advantages limitations each simulator is demonstrate...

A large fraction Jezero Crater landing site was covered with hazards including cliffs, inescapable dune fields rocks. These were identified or inferred using orbital imagery before launch so that they could be avoided Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN) which composed two parts: Lander Vision System (LVS)...
Bayesian tomographic reconstruction algorithms generally require the efficient optimization of a functional many variables. In this setting, as well in other tasks, substitution (FS) has been widely applied to simplify each step iterative process. The function be minimized is replaced locally by an approximation having more easily manipulated form, e.g., quadratic, but which maintains sufficient similarity descend true while computing only substitute. We provide two new applications FS...
Since 2011, the Autonomous Descent and Ascent Powered-Flight Testbed (ADAPT) has been used to demonstrate advanced descent landing technologies onboard Masten Space Systems (MSS) Xombie vertical-takeoff, vertical-landing suborbital rocket. The current instantiation of ADAPT is a stand-alone payload comprising sensing avionics for terrain-relative navigation fuel-optimal planning large divert trajectories, thus providing complete pin-point capabilities needed planetary landers. To this end,...
Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease is a fatal neurovisceral disorder caused by dysfunction of NPC1 protein, which plays role in intracellular cholesterol trafficking. The cholesterol-chelating agent, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), currently undergoing clinical trials for treatment this disease. Though promising alleviating neurological symptoms, HPβCD causes irreversible hearing loss patients and outer hair cell (OHC) death animal models. We recently found that HPβCD-induced OHC...
Abstract Actin polymerization is essential in several clathrin-independent endocytic pathways including fast endophilin mediated endocytosis (FEME), however the actin machinery involved FEME has been elusive. Here, we show that polymerase VASP colocalizes and interacts directly with priming complex. We identify (EDP) as a binding partner establish novel non-canonical interactions between EDP EVH1 EVH2 domains of VASP. The major regulators lamellipodin (LPD) interact multivalently undergoing...

The intracellular pH (pH<sub>i</sub>) of basilar artery rings was determined with 2’,7’-bis-(carboxyethyl)-5,(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) by measuring the ratio emitted (540 nm) fluorescence intensities (FI) at excitation wavelengths 500 and 440 nm. There a dye loss from in 90 min (39.3 ± 3.6%; p < 0.001). We found that does not adequately correct for loss; hence, we derived method to during pHi determinations. Calibration curves versus pH, were constructed rings. slope...
Statistical tomographic reconstruction algorithms generally require the efficient optimization of a functional. An algorithm known as iterative coordinate descent with Newton-Raphson updates (ICD/NR) has been shown to be much more computationally than indirect approaches based on EM algorithm. However, while ICD/NR experimentally converge stably, no theoretical proof convergence is known. We prove that modified algorithm, which we call ICD functional substitution (ICD/FS), guaranteed global...
Historically, computationally-intensive data processing for space-borne instruments has heavily relied on ground-based computing resources. But with recent advances in functional densities of Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs), there been an increasing desire to shift more on-board; therefore relaxing the downlink bandwidth requirements. Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) are commonly-used building blocks applications, a growing need increase FFT block size. Many existing architectures have...

Future urban transportation concepts include a mixture of ground and air vehicles with varying degrees autonomy in congested environment. In such dynamic environments, occupancy maps alone are not sufficient for safe path planning. Safe efficient requires reasoning about the 3D flow traffic properly modeling uncertainty. Several different approaches can be taken developing velocity maps. This paper explores Bayesian approach that captures our uncertainty map given training data. The involves...
