steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. this paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

Abstract Aiming at the problem that aerodynamic uplift forces of pantograph running in knuckle-downstream and knuckle-upstream conditions are inconsistent, their magnitudes do not satisfy corresponding standard, pantographs with baffles numerically investigated, an optimization method to determine baffle angle is proposed. First, error between resistances obtained by numerical simulation wind t...

Precursor-mRNA splicing removes the introns and ligates the exons to form a mature mRNA. This process is carried out in a spliceosomal complex containing >150 proteins and five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Splicing protein hSlu7 is required for correct selection of the 3 splice site. Here, we identify by bioinformatics and mutational analyses three functional domains of the hSlu7 protein t...

This process is carried out in a spliceosomal complex containing >150 proteins and five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins.

The morphology of trabecular bone has proven sensitive to loading patterns in the long bones and metacarpal heads of primates. It is expected that we should also see differences in the manual digits of primates that practice different methods of locomotion. Primate proximal and middle phalanges are load-bearing elements that are held in different postures and experience different mechanical str...

The RecQ4 helicase belongs to the ubiquitous RecQ family but its exact role in the cell is not completely understood. In addition to the helicase domain, RecQ4 has a unique N-terminal part that is essential for viability and is constituted by a region homologous to the yeast Sld2 replication initiation factor, followed by a cysteine-rich region, predicted to fold as a Zn knuckle. We carried out...

Precursor-mRNA splicing removes the introns and ligates the exons to form a mature mRNA. This process is carried out in a spliceosomal complex containing more than 150 proteins and five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Splicing protein hSlu7 is required for correct selection of the 3' splice site. Here we identify by bioinformatics and mutational analyses three functional domains of the hSlu7 ...

M utations in connexin 26 (GJB2, Cx26) cause autosomal recessive and occasionally dominant non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Cx26 mutations have also been identified in SNHL with dermatological features of autosomal dominant diffuse palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (DPPK). We describe a girl with bilateral sloping sensorineural hearing loss, striate palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (SPPK),...
