Ultra-wideband (UWB) localization methods have emerged as a cost-effective and accurate solution for GNSS-denied environments. There is a significant amount of previous research in terms of resilience of UWB ranging, with non-line-of-sight and multipath detection methods. However, little attention has been paid to resilience against disturbances in relative localization systems involving multiple nodes.

The aim of this study was first to determine if level, uphill, and downhill energy cost of running (ECR) values were correlated at different slopes and for different running speeds, and second, to determine the influence of lower limb strength on ECR. Twenty-nine healthy subjects completed a randomized series of 4-min running bouts on an instrumented treadmill to determine their cardiorespiratory and mechanical (i.e.

During the past decade, localization microscopy (LM) has transformed into an accessible, commercially available technique for life sciences. However, data processing can be challenging to the non-specialist and care is still needed to produce meaningful results. PALMsiever has been developed to provide a user-friendly means of visualizing, filtering and analyzing LM data.

Human observers are very sensitive to a loss of image texture in photo-realistic images. For example a portrait image without the fine skin texture appears unnatural. Once the image is decomposed by a wavelet transformation, this texture is represented by many wavelet coefficients of low- and medium-amplitude.

Golgi reassembly after mitosis: the AAA family meets the ubiquitin family.

Biochim Biophys Acta

July 2005

Swiss Federal School of Technology (ETH), Institute of Biochemistry, Zurich, Switzerland.

The Golgi apparatus in animal cells breaks down at the onset of mitosis and is later rebuilt in the two daughter cells. Two AAA ATPases, NSF and p97/VCP, have been implicated in regulating membrane fusion steps that lead to regrowth of Golgi cisternae from mitotic fragments. NSF dissociates complexes of SNARE proteins, thereby reactivating them to mediate membrane fusion.

The AAA ATPase p97/VCP forms complexes with different adapters to fulfill distinct cellular functions. We analyzed the structural organization of the Ufd1-Npl4 adapter complex and its interaction with p97 and compared it with another adapter, p47. We found that the binary Ufd1-Npl4 complex forms a heterodimer that cooperatively interacts with p97 via a bipartite binding mechanism.
