Automatic inference and measurement of 3D carpal bone kinematics from single view fluoroscopic sequences (2012)
Journal Article

We present a novel framework for estimating the 3D poses and shapes of the carpal bones from single view fluoroscopic sequences. A hybrid statistical model representing both the pose and shape variation of the carpal bones is built, based on a number...

Site Saturation Mutagenesis Demonstrates a Central Role for Cysteine 298 as Proton Donor to the Catalytic Site in CaHydA [FeFe]-Hydrogenase (2012)
Journal Article

[FeFe]-hydrogenases reversibly catalyse molecular hydrogen evolution by reduction of two protons. Proton supply to the catalytic site (H-cluster) is essential for enzymatic activity. Cysteine 298 is a highly conserved residue in all [FeFe]-hydrogenas...

Space-vector-modulated three-level inverters with a single Z-source network (2012)
Journal Article

The Z-source inverter is a relatively recent converter topology that exhibits both voltage-buck and voltage-boost capability. The Z-source concept can be applied to all dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion whether two-level or...

Fusarium langsethiae - a HT-2 and T-2 Toxins Producer that Needs More Attention (2012)
Journal Article

Fusarium langsethiae is a toxigenic fungus that was formally described as a new species in 2004. This fungus was first detailed in the 1990s but was initially referred to as 'powdery Fusarium poae' having a spore morphology similar to F. poae but a m...
