Structure and Dynamics of Amyloid-β Segmental Polymorphisms
(PLos One, 2012-07-24)
It is believed that amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregates play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Aβ molecules form β-sheet structures with multiple interaction sites. This polymorphism gives rise to differences in ...
INTERPRETATION OF PRESSURE TRANSIENT TESTS OF HORIZONTAL WELLS WITH
(2012)
The oil and gas industry has long recognized the importance of understanding the behaviors and trends of pressure and fluid flow dynamics for damaged and stimulated horizontal wells. It has also been recognized that the ...
Exploiting Heterogeneous Multicore Processors Through Fine-Grained Scheduling and Low-Overhead Thread Migration
(2012)
Heterogeneous (also known as asymmetric) multicore processors (HMPs) offer significant advantages over homogeneous multicores in terms of both power and performance. Power-efficient cores can be paired with higher-performance ...
Multiple Real-Constant Multiplication for Computationally Efficient Implementation of Digital Transforms
(2012)
The need to multiply signals by vectors (or matrices) of constants is fundamental and frequently arises in many areas of electrical and computer engineering.
The Role of NF-Y Transcription Factors in Plant Development
(2012)
Due to their sessile nature, plants must coordinate their growth and development based on the surrounding environmental conditions. This coordination is regulated by alterations in gene expression, leading to appropriate ...
Decolonizing hybridity: indigenous video, knowledge, and diffraction
(Cultural Geographies, 2012-07-01)
This article examines the hybrid cultural geographies of indigenous video with Donna Haraway’s visual strategy of diffraction. Drawing on ethnographic inquiry, one particular video is explored from three different perspectives. ...
Interdependent Impacts of Disruption Management Strategies: Risk-Based Applications to Port Closures, Natural Disasters, and Oil Spills
(2012)
Recent disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan disabled production facilities, created supply shortages, disrupted business operations, and altered ...
UNDERSTANDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) AS A PROFESSIONAL FIELD
(2012)
This dissertation is based on an exploratory study of GIS as it has evolved as a professional field. This study is relevant because it provides a fundamentally different approach to study professionals within a particular ...
FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN THE CATALYSIS AT THE WATER-OIL INTERFACE OF NANOHYBRID-STABILIZED EMULSIONS
(2012)
The development of reactive-separation processes in which products are separated from the reaction media (i.e. reactants and catalysts) in a single reaction unit is prized by energy and chemicals industries for its simplicity ...
Reproducing (Dis)Advantage: The Role of Family-based, School-based, and Cumulative-based Processes
(2012)
Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural and social reproduction (Bourdieu 1973; Bourdieu and Passeron 1977) offers a model that can be used to explain the existence of persistent educational stratification in the United States, ...
