Actively controllable topological phase transition in phononic beam systems
(Elsevier, 2020-05-01)Topological insulators, which allow edge or interface waves but forbid bulk waves, have revolutionized our scientific cognition of acoustic/elastic systems. Due to their nontrivial topological characteristics, edge (interface) ... -
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
(Wiley, 2010-04-21)The first artificially made set of electron acceptors is presented that are derived from a unique platform Cs[3,3′-Co(C2B9H11)2], for which the redox potential of each differs from its predecessor by a fixed amount. The ... -
Adenylate Cyclase Toxin from Bordetella pertussis Synergizes with Lipopolysaccharide To Promote Innate Interleukin-10 Production and Enhances the Induction of Th2 and Regulatory T Cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-03)Adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) from Bordetella pertussis can subvert host immune responses allowing bacterial colonization. Here we have examined its adjuvant and immunomodulatory properties and the possible contribution ... -
Adsorption and conformations of lysozyme and α-lactalbumin at a water-octane interface
(AIP Publishing, 2017-11)As proteins contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids, they will readily adsorb onto interfaces between water and hydrophobic fluids such as oil. This adsorption normally causes changes in the protein structure, ... -
Adsorption of the natural protein surfactant Rsn-2 onto liquid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-02-27)To stabilize foams, droplets, and films at liquid interfaces nature has evolved a range of protein biosurfactants. Compared to synthetic surfactants, these combine surface activity with biocompatibility and low solution ... -
Advanced spectroscopy and APBS modeling for determination of the role of His190 and Trp103 in mouse thymidylate synthase interaction with selected dUMP analogues
(MDPI, 2021-03-06)A homo-dimeric enzyme, thymidylate synthase (TS), has been a long-standing molecular target in chemotherapy. To further elucidate properties and interactions with ligands of wild-type mouse thymidylate synthase (mTS) and ... -
Advances in rapid compression machine studies of low- and intermediate-temperature autoignition phenomena
(Elsevier, 2017-07-10)Rapid compression machines (RCMs) are widely used to acquire experimental insights into fuel autoignition and pollutant formation chemistry, especially at conditions relevant to current and future combustion technologies. ... -
Aggregation of nanoparticles on one and two-component bilayer membranes
(AIP Publishing, 2014)Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the aggregation of nanoparticles on single and two-component bilayers is investigated. For a uniform bilayer the aggregation of nanoparticlesdepends strongly on the location ... -
Agricultural anaerobic digestion power plants in Ireland and Germany: policy and practice
(Wiley, 2016-08-24)The process of anaerobic digestion (AD) is valued as a carbon-neutral energy source, while simultaneously treating organic waste, making it safer for disposal or use as a fertilizer on agricultural land. The AD process in ... -
The air-water interface stabilizes α-helical conformations of the insulin B-chain
(AIP Publishing, 2019-08-09)Adsorption of proteins onto liquid interfaces, such as the air-water interface, often leads to changes in the protein conformation. This can lead to changes in protein assembly behaviour, with aggregation and fibrillation ... -
The air-water interface stabilizes α-helical conformations of the insulin B-chain
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-16)Dataset to accompany article: Cheung, David L. (2019). The air-water interface stabilizes α-helical conformations of the insulin B-chain. The Journal of Chemical Physics, 151(6), 064706. doi: 10.1063/1.5100253 -
An algorithm for the unit group of the Burnside ring of a finite group
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-01)In this note we present an algorithm for the construction of the unit group of the Burnside ring Ω(G) of a finite group G from a list of representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups of G. -
Alkoxyalkyl esters of nucleotide analogs inhibit polyomavirus DNA replication and large T antigen activities
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2020-12-07)Polyomavirus-related infections are ubiqutious in immunocompromised individuals and in some cases are intractable and fatal. Due to lack of approved drugs to treat polyomavirus infections, cidofovir, a phosphonate nucleotide ... -
Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus lobophora (dictyotales, phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01-05)Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals ... -
