Migrastatin analogues inhibit canine mammary cancer cell migration and invasion.
(PlosOne, 2013-10-08)Cancer spread to other organs is the main cause of death of oncological patients. Migration of cancer cells from a primary tumour is the crucial step in the complex process of metastasis, therefore blocking this process ... -
Minimal characteristic bisets and finite groups realizing Ruiz-Viruel exotic fusion systems
(Elsevier, 2011)Continuing our previous work (Park, 2010) [2], we determine a minimal left characteristic biset X for every exotic fusion system FF on the extraspecial group S of order 73 and exponent 7 discovered by Ruiz and Viruel (2004) ... -
Mining social networks using heat diffusion processes for marketing candidates selection
(ACM, 2008)Social Network Marketing techniques employ pre-existing social networks to increase brands or products awareness through word-of-mouth promotion. Full understanding of social network marketing and the potential candidates ... -
The misplacement of ISO 18404:2015 in organisational improvement: a point-counterpoint article
(Emerald, 2023-09-05)This paper gives the background to the ISO 18404:2015 standard and explains its rationale. It aims to rebut the Oudrhiri et al. (2022) paper. Furthermore, this paper adds further evidence of the misplacement and unfitness ... -
The mod 2 cohomology rings of SL2 of the imaginary quadratic integers
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-09-28)We establish general dimension formulae for the second page of the equivariant spectral sequence of the action of the SL2 groups over imaginary quadratic integers on their associated symmetric space. By way of doing this, ... -
Modeling ignition of a heptane isomer: improved thermodynamics, reaction pathways, kinetics, and rate rule optimizations for 2-methylhexane
(American Chemical Society, 2016-03-21)Accurate chemical kinetic combustion models of lightly branched alkanes (e.g., 2-methylalkanes) are important to investigate the combustion behavior of real fuels. Improving the fidelity of existing kinetic models is a ... -
Modeling nitrogen species as pollutants: thermochemical influences
(American Chemical Society, 2016-08-22)To simulate emissions of nitrogen-containing compounds in practical combustion environments, it is necessary to have accurate values for their thermochemical parameters, as well as accurate kinetic values to describe the ... -
Modelling exposure to pharmaceutical agents
(Institute of Physics, 2009)Aerosol exposure to the active ingredients of pharmaceuticals arises in research, development and manufacturing. In most instances it is only possible to make small numbers of measurements of exposure and given the inter- ... -
Modelling fluid flow through fractured rock: Examples using TVZ geothermal reservoirs
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2015-11-18)Geothermal resources are often hosted within volcanic, plutonic, and basement-type lithologies. As such their matrix permeability can be very low and the transport and circulation of geothermal fluids will be dominated by ... -
Modelling Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) using anisotropy resolved multi-dimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES)
(Elsevier, 2020-11-16)Background Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is widely used to study the structure and dynamics of biomolecular systems and also causes the non-linear fluorescence response observed in multi-fluorophore proteins. ... -
Models for overdispersed data in entomology
(Springer, Cham, 2014-09-17)Entomological data are often overdispersed, characterised by a larger variance than assumed by simple standard models. It is important to model overdispersion properly in order to avoid incorrect and misleading inferences. ... -
Modified multiplicative decomposition model for tissue growth: Beyond the initial stress-free state
(Elsevier, 2018-05-19)The multiplicative decomposition model is widely employed for predicting residual stresses and morphologies of biological tissues due to growth. However, it relies on the assumption that the tissue is initially in a ... -
Molecular dynamics study of nanoparticle stability at liquid interfaces: effect of nanoparticle-solvent interaction and capillary waves
(AIP Publishing, 2011)While the interaction of colloidal particles (sizes in excess of 100 nm) with liquidinterfaces may be understood in terms of continuum models, which are grounded in macroscopic properties such as surface and line tensions, ... -
Molecular simulation of hydrophobin adsorption at an oil-water interface
(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-16)Hydrophobins are small, amphiphilic proteins expressed by strains of filamentous fungi. They fulfill a number of biological functions, often related to adsorption at hydrophobic interfaces, and have been investigated for ... -
Molecular simulation of nanoparticle diffusion at fluid interfaces
(2010)Using molecular dynamics simulations the transport properties of a model nanoparticle in solution are studied. In bulk solvent the translational diffusion coefficients are in good agreement with previous simulation and ... -
Molecular structure and phase behaviour of hairy-rod polymers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the relationship between molecular architecture and phase behaviour in model hairy-rod polymers is studied. In agreement with experimental and theoretical studies the phase ... -
Monitoring cell culture media degradation using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy
(Elsevier (Science Direct), 2014-06-13)The quality of the cell culture media used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing is a crucial factor affecting bioprocess performance and the quality of the final product. Due to their complex composition these media are ... -
Monitoring local unfolding of bovine serum albumin during denaturation using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
(Springer, 2010-03)In a previous report (J. Fluoresc. 16, 153, 2006) we studied the chaotropiclly induced denaturation of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) using the fluorescence decay kinetics at different stages in the denaturation of BSA by ... -
