Experimental application of a dynamic observer to capture and predict the dynamics of a flat-plate boundary layer
No full textThe recent approach, proposed by Guzman-Inigo et al. \cite{GuzmanInigo2014}, using System Identification to derive a Reduced Order Model from snapshots of a flow is applied to a transitional boundary layer growing over a flat-plate. It is shown that such an approach can indeed be applied to experimental PIV snapshots. Using a proper learning dataset and a proper local sensor, it is shown that the evolution of boundary layer can be properly estimated from the time evolution of the local probe and with no more than ten POD modes for the Reduced Order Model. The influence of the various parameters on the efficiency of the system identification technique is discussed

Double-directional Multipath Data at 140 GHz
No full textThis data set contains 140 GHz double-directional path data in an indoor hall environment. Details of the environment and data format are available in .txt and .ppt files in the same package as data. The data were derived from channel sounding along with a measurement-based ray-launcher, which is elaborated in the following paper.

Are you sitting comfortably? The political economy of the body
No full textThe aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between the mass production of furniture in modern industrial societies and lower back pain (LBP). The latter has proven to be a major cost to health services and private industry throughout the industrialised world and now represents a global health issue as recent WHO reports on obesity and LBP reveal. Thus far there have been few co-ordinated attempts to deal with the causes of the problem through public policy. Drawing upon a range of sources in anthropology, health studies, politics and economics, the paper argues that this a modern social problem rooted in the contingent conjuncture of natural and social causal mechanisms. The key question it raises is: what are the appropriate mechanisms for addressing this problem? This paper develops an analysis rooted in libertarian social theory and argues that both the state and the capitalist market are flawed mechanisms for resolving this problem. There remains a fundamental dilemma for libertarians, however. Whilst the state and the market may well be flawed mechanisms, they are the dominant ones shaping global political economy. To what extent can libertarians work within these structures and remain committed to libertarian goals

This specific name cristinae is named in honour of Mrs. Cristina Olvera for her hospitality and kindness in hosting the senior author during this research. Remarks. This species can be distinguished from all others because the anterior margin of the tetartosternum shield is concave in both sexes, and sternal seta st 3 is the longest and is slightly serrated. The mesogynial shield is long and wider posteriorly; the latigynial shield is long with the medial margins reduced, all the shields are shagreened, except the ventral shield, which is reticulated. The male has st 2, st 3 and st 4 microsetae and simple; the ventral shield is reticulated and shagreened, and the other shields are only shagreened. The tetartosternal notch is small and V-shaped, and the ventral shield has 34 pairs of simple setae. Klinckowstoemia cristinae is similar to K. schusteri because they have three to four simple setae on the latigynial shield, hyp 2 and hyp 3 are serrated and long and moderatly long respectively, in both species. However, the new species is smaller (idiosoma 953.6 versus 1374), has sternal seta st 3 (29.2) long and slightly serrated, and has shagreened sternogenital shields. In comparison, K. schusteri has several shields reticulated (sternal, sternogynial, mesogynial and latigynial) and st 3 (8) small and simple. Both species have large latigynial shields but that of K. cristinae has reduced medial margins (19.5) compared with K. schusteri. The passalids carrying this species were found in decaying trunks in the same locality at Hidalgo, Mexico, on two hosts, Odontotaenius zodiacus and Oileus rimator. Mites were found in the alcohol, but on O. zodiacus we found a male of K. cristinae on coxa I. On O. rimator we found two other species of klinckowstroemiids, K. scotti and K. cristinae.Published as part of Villegas-Guzman, Gabriel A., Pérez, Tila M. & Reyes-Castillo, Pedro, 2009, New species of the genus Klinckowstroemia Baker & Wharton from Mexico (Acari: Mesostigmata: Trigynaspida: Klinckowstroemiidae), pp. 1-46 in Zootaxa 2248 on pages 40-42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19071

Reason: Author requested U of Illinois access only (OA after 2yrs) in Vireo ETD systemProtein-RNA interactions and protein folding are critical subjects in biochemistry, because of their significance during the formation of active complexes and signaling pathways. Regardless of the substantial amount of studies in the fields of protein-RNA interactions and protein folding, little is known about the stability and kinetics of these in the cell. This doctoral dissertation aims to advance the understanding of protein-RNA interactions and protein folding inside cells through comparative in vitro studies, utilizing U1A-SL2 RNA complex and PGK/VlsE proteins as model systems, respectively. For the protein-RNA studies, dynamics experiments of one positive charged mutant of the spliceosomal U1A protein, the golden model for the RNA Recognition Motif (RRM), reveled a conformational transition for the protein only. Also, U1A-SL2 RNA dissociation kinetics studies with U1A positive charged mutants supported the previously proposed two-step dissociation pathway and demonstrated the importance of positive charge residues. The U1A-SL2 was also investigated in macromolecular crowded buffers were its binding affinity increased. It was also studied inside mammalian cells were it localized in the nucleus and its binding affinity decreased. For the protein folding studies, the extracellular VlsE antigen was found to be destabilized inside mammalian cells opposed to the intracellular PGK enzyme.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I only', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Irisbel Guzman Sanchez, accepted the attached license on 2015-04-12 at 22:18.The student, Irisbel Guzman Sanchez, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-04-12 at 22:33.U of I Only Restriction Lifted for Item 79851 on 2017-07-23T09:15:30Z

Bacillus subtilis lipase A – lipase or esterase?
No full textThe question how to distinguish between lipases and esterases is about as old as the definition of the sub-classification is. Many different criteria have been proposed to this end, all indicative but not decisive. Here the activity of lipases in dry organic solvents as criterion is probed on a minimal α/β hydrolase fold enzyme, the Bacillus subtilis lipase A (BSLA) and compared to Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), a proven lipase. Both hydrolases show activity in dry solvents and this proves BSLA to be a lipase. Overall, this demonstrates the value of this additional parameter to distinguish between lipases and esterases. Lipases tend to be active in dry organic solvents while esterases are not active under these circumstances
