Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, two woody biomass materials of poplar (hardwood) and fir (softwood) are torrefied at temperatures of 200-230°C, and the variations of color, equilibrium moisture content, and contact angle of raw and torfied samples are examined.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that rare variants on the X chromosome are involved in the etiology of ASD and contribute to the sex-ratio disequilibrium is supported.
Abstract: The striking excess of affected males in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) suggests that genes located on chromosome X contribute to the etiology of these disorders. To identify new X-linked genes associated with ASD, we analyzed the entire chromosome X exome by next-generation sequencing in 12 unrelated families with two affected males. Thirty-six possibly deleterious variants in 33 candidate genes were found, including PHF8 and HUWE1, previously implicated in intellectual disability (ID). A nonsense mutation in TMLHE, which encodes the ɛ-N-trimethyllysine hydroxylase catalyzing the first step of carnitine biosynthesis, was identified in two brothers with autism and ID. By screening the TMLHE coding sequence in 501 male patients with ASD, we identified two additional missense substitutions not found in controls and not reported in databases. Functional analyses confirmed that the mutations were associated with a loss-of-function and led to an increase in trimethyllysine, the precursor of carnitine biosynthesis, in the plasma of patients. This study supports the hypothesis that rare variants on the X chromosome are involved in the etiology of ASD and contribute to the sex-ratio disequilibrium.

TL;DR: Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor, a component of the paracellular barrier at tricellular junctions, is necessary for proper blood–brain barrier sealing during embryogenesis.
Abstract: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a term used to describe the unique properties of central nervous system (CNS) blood vessels One important BBB property is the formation of a paracellular barrier made by tight junctions (TJs) between CNS endothelial cells (ECs) Here, we show that Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), a component of paracellular junctions at points in which three cell membranes meet, is greatly enriched in CNS ECs compared with ECs in other nonneural tissues We demonstrate that LSR is specifically expressed at tricellular junctions and that its expression correlates with the onset of BBB formation during embryogenesis We further demonstrate that the BBB does not seal during embryogenesis in Lsr knockout mice with a leakage to small molecules Finally, in mouse models in which BBB was disrupted, including an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis and a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of stroke, LSR was down-regulated, linking loss of LSR and pathological BBB leakage

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A new design methodology is proposed thanks to a judicious use of the famous Young relation, which leads to a less restrictive synthesis condition, expressed in term of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI), than those available in the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory has evolved from niche applications for simple solid-state materials to become a workhorse method for studying a wide range of phenomena in the field of density functional analysis.
Abstract: During the past two decades, density-functional (DF) theory has evolved from niche applications for simple solid-state materials to become a workhorse method for studying a wide range of phenomena ...
