Evaluation of Time-Domain Acoustic Signature in TIG Welding of 5083 Aluminum Alloy: A Methodological Comparison of Feature Reduction Approaches by V M Gautham, A Sumesh, E V Jithin, K Rameshkumar, Dinu Thomas Thekkuden

“…Despite of Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding being a traditional technique for joining aluminium and aluminium alloys, the formation of porosity, burn-through, and cracks as a result of inadequate heat control is a serious threat to the structural integrity of the joints. Non-destructive post-welding inspection is expensive, less productive and undergoes tedious procedure. …”

Detailed characterisation of the trypanosome nuclear pore architecture reveals conserved asymmetrical functional hubs that drive mRNA export. by Bernardo Papini Gabiatti, Johanna Krenzer, Silke Braune, Timothy Krüger, Martin Zoltner, Susanne Kramer

“…Having defined markers for both sites of the pore, we set out to map all 75 trypanosome proteins with known nuclear pore localisation to a subregion of the pore using mass spectrometry data from proximity labelling. This approach defined several further proteins with a specific localisation to the nuclear site of the pore, including proteins with predicted structural homology to TREX-2 components. …”
