The purpose of this work was to develop a dynamic partial order model of II electrolyte solutions which avoids inconsistencies present in the Debye-1-Iuckel and 1n related theories. It is shown that our results are consistent with activity coefficient data in aqueous electrolyte solutions. The main features of our work...
The general expressions for finding the network functions, e.g.,
the immittance and the scattering parameters, of a general, uniformly
coupled n-line structure in an inhomogeneous medium are derived in
terms of the normal mode parameters of the system. These are used to
compute or to derive the explicit expressions for...
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) are a class of proteins that lack a three-dimensional structure and their prevalence and diverse functions in the cell have only been discovered relatively recently. The intermediate chain (IC) subunit of the microtubule motor protein complex dynein contains an N-terminal disordered region, N-IC, which is central...
Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...
Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical
and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution
pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments,
(2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic
variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with
respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...
The effect of ultra-high pressure on the thermal emf of a
chromelialumel thermocouple is investigated using an indirect
method which does not require a direct knowledge of the temperature
of the pressurized junction. The unknown temperature is written
parametrically as a function of a directly measured quantity, the
electrical power...
Balanced codes, in which each codeword contains equally many 1's and 0's, are useful in such applications as in optical transmission and optical recording. When balanced codes are used, the same number of 1's and 0's pass through the channel after the transmission of every word, so the channel is...
The ability to faithfully replicate DNA is dependent upon the maintenance
and regulation of its precursors, the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates.
Enzymes encoded by the bacteriophage T4 have been widely used as models
of biochemical processes. A body of evidence supports the concept that the
bacteriophage T4 enzymes involved in deoxyribonucleotide biosynthesis...
New product development has been considered a key success factor for today's businesses. Long term survival of many manufacturing organizations depends on how successful organizations are introducing new products to compete in existing markets or in creating new markets. Despite the importance of new product development, many manufacturing organizations face...
