Structural Studies of a Complex Between Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase and Calmodulin at Physiological Calcium Concentration
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-25)The small acidic protein calmodulin (CaM) serves as a Ca2+ sensor and control element for many enzymes including nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes that play major roles in key physiological and pathological processes. ... -
Structure and Thermodynamics of Drug-RNA Aptamer Interactions
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-03-01)This mini-review will provide an overview on the recent studies of structure and thermodynamics of RNA aptamers that target drug molecules. These aptamers are studied to provide insight into RNA drug interactions. This ... -
Structure of peat soils and implications for water storage, flow and solute transport: A review update for geochemists
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)Global peatlands are a valuable but vulnerable resource. They represent a significant carbon and energy reservoir and play major roles in water and biogeochemical cycles. Peat soils are highly complex porous media with ... -
Structure/reaction directed analysis for LC-MS based untargeted analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-03-07)In LC-MS based untargeted analysis, data is collected at the peak or ion level, although the investigated biochemistry processes occur at the compound or reaction level. To this end, the presence of redundancy peaks such ... -
The structures and properties of anionic tryptophan complexes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)The physicochemical properties of [Trpn–H]− and [Trpn⋯Cl]− (n = 1, 2) have been investigated in a combined computational and experimental infrared multiple dissociation (IRMPD) study. IRMPD spectra within the 850–1900 cm−1 ... -
The structures and properties of proton- and alkali-bound cysteine dimers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)The proton-, lithium-, and sodium-bound cysteine dimers have been investigated in a joint computational and experimental infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) study. IRMPD spectra in the 1000–2000 cm−1 region show ... -
A study of common bug fix patterns in Rust
(Springer, 2024-02-12)Rust is a relatively new programming language which allows programmers to write programs that have low-level control over resources while still ensuring high-level safety guarantees (for programs written in safe Rust). ... -
A Study of Immediate Requery Behavior in Search
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-03-11)When search results fail to satisfy users' information needs, users often reformulate their search query in the hopes of receiving better results. In many cases, users immediately requery without clicking on any search ... -
A study of insulated glazing unit surface temperature profiles using two-dimensional computer simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)This paper describes one part of a collaborative research project, including both measurement and simulation studies, aimed at determining the surface temperature of a set of insulated glazing units (IGUs). In this study ... -
A Study Of Pane Spacing In Glazing Systems
(Solar Energy Society of Canada, 1989-06)The selection of optimum pane spacing for glazing systems has been a topic of ongoing debate in the window manufacturing industry. Arguments are often based on speculation, intuition and results from tests not specifically ... -
A study of the Repeated Actions Diary in patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder
(Wiley, 2019-12-27)The structured Repeated Action Diary (RAD) collects in vivo data on compulsions and their various characteristics. Certain compulsions (i.e., those ending because the patient feels certain that it is safe to stop) are then ... -
A study of thin film solid phase microextraction methods for analysis of fluorinated benzoic acids in seawater
(Elsevier, 2016-03-04)Fluorinated benzoic acids (FBAs) are frequently used as tracers by the oil industry to characterize petroleum reservoirs. The demand for fast, reliable, robust, and sensitive approaches to separate and quantify FBAs in ... -
A study of volumetric contact modelling approaches in rigid tyre simulation for planetary rover application
(Inderscience, 2014-01-01)For planetary rover applications, a volumetric contact modelling approach is used to capture the dynamics of the rigid tyre/soil interface. The volumetric contact model allows for determining closed-form expressions for ... -
Study on fatigue life of bend-twist coupling wind turbine blade based on anisotropic beam model and stress-based fatigue analysis method
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)Bend-twist coupling (BTC), also called aeroelastic tailoring or passive pitch control method, is often utilized to reduce the fatigue loading on wind turbine blades. With BTC, the blade can twist as it bends, this alleviates ... -
Subtle and Personal Workspace Requirements for Visual Search Tasks on Public Displays
(ACM Press, 2017-05-06)We explore how users approach and define personal space on large, public displays. Our results show that users of public displays use one of two strategies for visual search tasks: minimizers create a small window and work ... -
Subword complexity and power avoidance
(Elsevier, 2019-11-05)We begin a systematic study of the relations between subword complexity of infinite words and their power avoidance. Among other things, we show that –the Thue–Morse word has the minimum possible subword complexity over ... -
Summary and comparison of methods to calculate solar heat gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)Methods used to calculate the solar gain of windows (including center-glass, edge-glass, and frame) are examined and compared Particular attention is devoted to the public-domain computer programs VISION3 and WINDOW 4.1. ... -
Superhydrophobic flow channel surface and its impact on PEM fuel cell performance
(Oxford University Press, 2014-09-01)Water management is a critical issue in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and it is normally achieved through the modification of surface wettability condition for the cell components. In this study, ... -
