Lower-energy conformers search of TPP-1 polypeptide via hybrid particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm
(2018)
Low-energy conformation search on biological macromolecules remains a
challenge in biochemical experiments and theoretical studies. Finding efficient
approaches to minimize the energy of peptide structures is critically ...
Why So Many Repositories? Examining the limitations and possibilities of the IR landscape
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Academic libraries fail to take advantage of the network effect because they manage too many digital repositories locally. While this argument applies to all manner of digital repositories, this article examines the ...
M13 BACTERIOPHAGE-BASED POLYMERS, A PROMISING NEXT GENERATION OF BIOHYDROGEL
(2018-12-14)
Hydrogel has been considered a promising material for many biomedical applicational researches due to its unique properties. One such promising hydrogel is a peptide-based hydrogel due to its excellent biocompatibility and ...
Elementary Students Use Voice-to-Text to Write
(2018-05)
Using qualitative methods and a multiple-case study design, this study explored how four students in elementary school, with poor writing skills, poor handwriting skills, or a reluctant writer, responded to using voice-to-text ...
THEORETICAL STUDIES OF MULTI-MODE NOON STATES FOR APPLICATIONS IN QUANTUM METROLOGY AND PROPOSALS OF EXPERIMENTAL SETUPS FOR THEIR GENERATION
(2018-05)
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating physical resource that is central to the field of quantum information processing with important applications in such areas as quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum metrology, ...
3D RESERVOIR GEOMECHANICS MODEL OF THE PROPOSED FORGE LABORATORY SITE NEAR MILFORD UTAH
(2018-05-11)
In this thesis a 3D reservoir geomechanics model (mechanical earth model) is constructed for the FORGE laboratory site near Milford, Utah. Such characterizations are necessary for enhanced geothermal sites (EGS) that rely ...
How Far "Above the Fray"? Unpacking the Mechanisms of the Monarchical Advantage in the Arab Uprisings
(2018-05)
Every one of the eight monarchies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) remained standing in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings, giving rise to claims of a “monarchical advantage” or “monarchical exceptionalism.” ...
PILOT EVALUATION OF THE WEIGHTED OFFENSIVE PRODUCTIVITY RATING IN HOCKEY USING LONGITUDINAL DATA AND LOGISTIC REGRESSION
(2018-05-11)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an analog to the baseball statistic Weighted On-Base Average (wOBA), which provides an estimate of a baseball player’s offensive production, in the context of hockey. In this model, ...
Additions From an Apostate: Petrus Alfonsi and a Shift in Anti-Jewish Polemic
(2018-05-12)
In the Twelfth Century, Petrus Alfonsi converted from Judaism to Christianity and wrote his Dialogi contra Iudaeos. In this polemical text, Alfonsi utilized Islamic science and reason to attack Judaism and the Talmud as ...
Dehn functions of subgroups of right-angled Artin groups
(2018-05)
The question of what is a possible range for the Dehn functions (a.k.a. isoperimetric spectrum) for certain classes of groups is a natural and interesting one. Due to works of many authors starting with Gromov, we know a ...
