Normal service is resumed this week as we bring bak the regular features that played second fiddle to the E3-heavy content of the past two weeks. That means Appreciation Section is back with Cundy holding the reins this week. We have your answers to Question of the Week - What is your lasting memory of E3 2011? - and we answer a selection of your queries you sent to the GamesRadar Hotline.

And if all this isn't enough, there's also a tenuous explanation of possibly the worst play on words you'll hear today from Justin. Check it out.

Molecules, Vol. 16, Pages 4923-4936: Derivatives of 10,16-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid Isolated from Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) as Potential Material for Aliphatic Polyesters

The main monomer of tomato cuticle, 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid (or 10,16-dihydroxypalmitic acid; 10,16-DHPA), was isolated and used to efficiently synthesize two different monomers (16-hydroxy-10-oxo-hexadecanoic and 7-oxohexa-decanedioic acids) in addition to a dimer and linear and branched trimers. These compounds were fully characterized using NMR and MS techniques and could be used as starting materials for the synthesis of a wide range of chemicals and bio-polyesters, particularly the latter due to their physical properties, non-toxicity, and relative abundance among raw materials.

Former creative designer Kazuma Kujo's company also working on PS3 and PS Vita titles.

Early this year, the creative designer behind the Disaster Report and Steambot Chronicles titles, Kazuma Kujo, left developer and publisher Irem to open up a new company called Granzella. According to a recent article on Famitsu (translated by Siliconera), the company is planning on making games for the PlayStation brand; specifically for PlayStation Home, PS3, and PlayStation Vita, Sony's newly-titled handheld console.

Kazuma Kujo's past involvement at Irem includes the Disaster Report and Steambot Chronicles games.

According to a recent post on Granzella's development blog, the company hinted that there would be two bullet points listed as "PlayStation Home Lounge A ad Related Items" and "PlayStation Home Lounge B and Related Items". Kujo said that the upcoming digital titles for PlayStation Home will stand up well against full package games. Additionally, the company plans on releasing a new downloadable title for PlayStation 3. He also plans to expand the company's repertoire with Android and PlayStation Vita titles for next year.

When asked about future involvement with Irem sequels, Kujo said that he could not comment at this point in time. Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, one of the games Kujo headed as creative designer at Irem, was canceled last March, possibly due to the game's subject matter regarding a city wrecked by an earthquake.

Micromachines, Vol. 2, Pages 295-305: Jitterbot: A Mobile Millirobot Using Vibration Actuation

Posted: 15 Jun 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Microrobotics is a rapidly growing field with promising applications in microsurgery and microassembly. A challenge in these systems is providing power and control signals to the robot. This project explores crawling robots that are powered and controlled through a global mechanical vibration field. Structures within the robot will cause it to respond to particular frequencies with different motion modalities. A prototype, dubbed the "jitterbot", was cut out of a 0.75 mm sheet of steel using electric discharge machining (EDM), and has a total footprint of approximately 30 mm × 20 mm in the xy-plane. The "robot" has a tripod body (8 mm × 16 mm) with three small legs, and two suspended masses that are designed for specific resonance frequencies. The robot was tested on a plate that was vibrated vertically at frequencies ranging from 20 to 2,000 Hz. For particular resonant frequencies, the robot moves forward and turns in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Finite element modeling confirms that the mechanism for motion is a rocking mode that is influenced by two arms that are suspended mass springs tuned to different frequencies. This lays the groundwork for further miniaturization.

Materials, Vol. 4, Pages 1117-1132: Teriparatide Therapy as an Adjuvant for Tissue Engineering and Integration of Biomaterials

Posted: 15 Jun 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Critically sized large bone defects commonly result from trauma, radical tumor resections or infections. Currently, massive allografting remain as the clinical standard to treat these critical defects. Unfortunately, allograft healing is limited by the lack of osteogenesis and bio-integration of the graft to the host bone. Based on its widely studied anabolic effects on the bone, we have proposed that teriparatide [recombinant parathyroid hormone (PTH1–34)] could be an effective adjuvant for massive allograft healing. In support of this theory, here we review studies that have demonstrated that intermittent PTH1–34 treatment enhances and accelerates the skeletal repair process via a number of mechanisms including: effects on mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, bone formation and remodeling. We also review the current literature on the effects of PTH1–34 therapy on bone healing, and discuss this drug's long term potential as an adjuvant for endogenous tissue engineering.

Marine Drugs, Vol. 9, Pages 1101-1118: Carotenoids in Algae: Distributions, Biosyntheses and Functions

Posted: 15 Jun 2011 12:00 AM PDT

For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic studies of algae have been developed. In this review, the relationship between the distribution of carotenoids and the phylogeny of oxygenic phototrophs in sea and fresh water, including cyanobacteria, red algae, brown algae and green algae, is summarized. These phototrophs contain division- or class-specific carotenoids, such as fucoxanthin, peridinin and siphonaxanthin. The distribution of α-carotene and its derivatives, such as lutein, loroxanthin and siphonaxanthin, are limited to divisions of Rhodophyta (macrophytic type), Cryptophyta, Euglenophyta, Chlorarachniophyta and Chlorophyta. In addition, carotenogenesis pathways are discussed based on the chemical structures of carotenoids and known characteristics of carotenogenesis enzymes in other organisms; genes and enzymes for carotenogenesis in algae are not yet known. Most carotenoids bind to membrane-bound pigment-protein complexes, such as reaction center, light-harvesting and cytochrome b6f complexes. Water-soluble peridinin-chlorophyll a-protein (PCP) and orange carotenoid protein (OCP) are also established. Some functions of carotenoids in photosynthesis are also briefly summarized.
