The influence of iso-butene kinetics on the reactivity of di-isobutylene and iso-octane
(Elsevier, 2020-09-06)The continuous development of a core C-0 - C-4 kinetic mechanism generally involves updating it using reliable kinetics and thermodynamics and may also involve the inclusion of missing reaction pathways to improve the ... -
Influence of preservation temperature on the measured mechanical properties of brain tissue
(Elsevier, 2013-04-26)The large variability in experimentally measured mechanical properties of brain tissue is due to many factors including heterogeneity, anisotropy, age dependence and post-mortem time. Moreover, differences in test protocols ... -
Influence of protein (human galectin-3) design on aspects of lectin activity
(Springer, 2020-04-25)The concept of biomedical significance of the functional pairing between tissue lectins and their glycoconjugate counterreceptors has reached the mainstream of research on the flow of biological information. A major challenge ... -
Influence of steam dilution on the ignition of hydrogen, syngas and natural gas blends at elevated pressures
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-11-10)This paper presents the influence of steam dilution on the autoignition behaviour of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, syngas, methane, and natural gas mixtures under gas turbine-relevant conditions. Rapid compression machine ... -
Influence of stormflow and baseflow phosphorus pressures on stream ecology in agricultural catchments
(Elsevier, 2017-03-09)Stormflow and baseflow phosphorus (P) concentrations and loads in rivers may exert different ecological pressures during different seasons. These pressures and subsequent impacts are important to disentangle in order to ... -
The influence of surface composition of carbon nanotubes on the photobioelectrochemical activity of thylakoid bioanodes mediated by osmium-complex modified redox polymer
(Elsevier, 2019-04-17)A combination of photosynthetic biocatalysts with high surface area conductive materials mediated by an osmium-complex modified redox polymer (OsRP) holds promising features for the development of sustainable "green" systems ... -
An inherited duplication at the gene p21 Protein-Activated Kinase 7 (PAK7) is a risk factor for psychosis
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-01-28)Identifying rare, highly penetrant risk mutations may be an important step in dissecting the molecular etiology of schizophrenia. We conducted a gene-based analysis of large (>100 kb), rare copy-number variants (CNVs) in ... -
Inhibition of Burkholderia multivorans Adhesion to Lung Epithelial Cells by Bivalent Lactosides
(MDPI, 2012-08-24)Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis patients which is inherently resistant to antimicrobial agents. The mechanisms of attachment and pathogenesis of Bcc, a group of 17 species, ... -
Inhibition of human BK polyomavirus replication by small noncoding RNAs
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2011)Small noncoding RNAs regulate a variety of cellular processes, including genomic imprinting, chromatin remodeling, replication, transcription, and translation. Here, we report small replication-regulating RNAs (srRNAs) ... -
Inhomogeneous "longitudinal" circularly-polarized plane waves in anisotropic elastic crystals
(S. Hirzel verlag, Ingenta Connect, 2006)Conditions on the elastic stiffnesses of anisotropic crystals are derived such that circularly polarized longitudinal inhomogeneous plane waves with an isotropic slowness bivector may propagate for any given direction of ... -
Inhomogeneous "longitudinal" plane waves in a deformed elastic material
(Springer, 2005-01)By definition, a homogeneous isotropic compressible Hadamard material has the property that an infinitesimal longitudinal homogeneous plane wave may propagate in every direction when the material is maintained in a state ... -
Inhomogeneous deformation of brain tissue during tension tests
(Elsevier, 2012)Mechanical characterization of brain tissue has been investigated extensively by various research groups over the past 50 years. These properties are particularly important for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). ... -
Inhomogeneous shear of orthotropic incompressible non-linearly elastic solids: Singular solutions and biomechanical interpretation
(Elsevier, 2009)We present a detailed study of rectilinear shear deformation in the framework of orthotropic nonlinear elasticity, under Dirichlet and mixed-boundary conditions. We take a slab made of a soft matrix, reinforced with two ... -
Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ... -
Initial stresses in elastic solids: Constitutive laws and acoustoelasticity
(2011)On the basis of the nonlinear theory of elasticity, the general constitutive equation for an isotropic hyperelastic solid in the presence of initial stress is derived. This derivation involves invariants that couple the ... -
Instabilities in elastomers and soft tissues
(Oxford Journals, 2006-09-15)Biological soft tissues exhibit elastic properties that can be dramatically different from rubber-type materials (elastomers). To gain a better understanding of the role of constitutive relationships in determining material ... -
Instability-induced pattern formations in soft magnetoactive composites
(American Physical Society, 2020-04-14)Elastic instabilities can trigger dramatic microstructure transformations giving rise to unusual behavior in soft matter. Motivated by this phenomenon, we study instability-induced pattern formations in soft magnetoactive ... -
The integral homology of PSL(2) of imaginary quadratic integers with nontrivial class group
(2011)We show that a cellular complex defined by Flöge allows us to determine the integral homology of the Bianchi groups PSL(2)(O[-m]), where O[-m] is the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic number field Q [square root ... -
The integrated stress response
(EMBO Press, 2016-09-14)In response to diverse stress stimuli, eukaryotic cells activate a common adaptive pathway, termed the integrated stress response (ISR), to restore cellular homeostasis. The core event in this pathway is the phosphorylation ... -
