Thioflavin T fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy 1 suggesting a non-G-quadruplex structure for a 2 sodium binding aptamer embedded in DNAzymes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-09-16)Recently, a Na+-binding aptamer was reported to be embedded in a few RNA-cleaving DNAzymes including NaA43, Ce13d and NaH1. These DNAzymes require Na+ for activity but show no activity in the presence of K+ or other metal ... -
Thixotropic gel electrolyte containing poly(ethylene glycol) with high zinc ion concentration for the secondary aqueous Zn/ LiMn2O4 battery
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)We have designed an aqueous gel electrolyte containing fumed silica as the thixotropic gelling agent and poly(ethylene glycol) (MW = 300 g·mol−1) as the non-thixotropic gelling agent. Poly(ethylene glycol) is also the ... -
Thought Suppression
(Oxford University Press, 2020-01-30)The idea that suppressing an unwanted thought results in an ironic increase in its frequency is accepted as psychological fact. Wegner’s ironic processes model has been applied to understanding the development and persistence ... -
Three Phase-Grating Moire Neutron Interferometer for Large Interferometer Area Applications
(American Physical Society, 2018-03-12)We demonstrate a three phase-grating moire neutron interferometer in a highly intense neutron beam as a robust candidate for large area interferometry applications and for the characterization of materials. This novel ... -
Three-dimensional comparison of static and dynamic scapular motion tracking techniques
(Elsevier, 2014-02)The shoulder is complex and comprised of many moving parts. Accurately measuring shoulder rhythm is difficult. To classify shoulder rhythm and identify pathological movement, static measures have been the preferred method. ... -
A three-dimensional forward dynamic model of the golf swing optimized for ball carry distance
(Springer, 2016-12-01)A 3D predictive golfer model can be a valuable tool for investigating the golf swing and designing new clubs. A forward dynamic model, which includes a four degree of freedom golfer model, a flexible shaft based on Rayleigh ... -
Three-dimensional imaging of aquifer and aquitard heterogeneity via transient hydraulic tomography at a highly heterogeneous field site
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Previous studies have shown that geostatistics-based transient hydraulic tomography (THT) is robust for subsurface heterogeneity characterization through the joint inverse modeling of multiple pumping tests. However, the ... -
Three-dimensional micromechanical assessment of bio-inspired composites with non-uniformly dispersed inclusions
(Elsevier, 2019-03-15)Bio-inspired composites with hexagonal platelet and cylindrical inclusions were studied. A novel algorithm termed staggered hardcore algorithm (SHCA) was used to rapidly generate 3D periodic representative volume elements ... -
Three-dimensional simulations of sound propagation in a trumpet with accurate mouthpiece shank geometry
(arXiv, 2016-11-01)The length and bore geometry of musical instruments directly influences the quality of sound that can be produced. In brass instruments, nonlinear effects from finite-amplitude wave propagation can lead to wave distortion ... -
TIGER: Tor Traffic Generator for Realistic Experiments
(Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society, 2023-09-25)Tor is the most widely adopted anonymity network, helping safeguard the privacy of Internet users, including journalists and human rights activists. However, effective attacks aimed at deanonymizing Tor users' remains a ... -
Tilt grain boundaries in a diblock copolymer ordered nanocomposite lamellar phase
(AIP publishing, 2010-10-08)A hybrid self-consistent field theory/density functional theory method is applied to predict tilt(kink) grain boundary structures between lamellar domains of a symmetric diblock copolymer with added spherical nanoparticles. ... -
Time Course of Dichoptic Masking in Normals and Suppression in Amblyopes
(Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2014-07)Purpose.: To better understand the relationship between dichoptic masking in normal vision and suppression in amblyopia we address three questions: First, what is the time course of dichoptic masking in normals and amblyopes? ... -
Time Weighted Average Concentration Monitoring Based on Thin Film Solid Phase Microextraction
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-04)Time weighted average (TWA) passive sampling with thin film solid: phase micro extraction (TF-SPME) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for collection, identification, and quantification ... -
Time-consistent mean–variance portfolio optimization: A numerical impulse control approach
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)We investigate the time-consistent mean–variance (MV) portfolio optimization problem, popular in investment–reinsurance and investment-only applications, under a realistic context that involves the simultaneous application ... -
Time-course monitoring of in vitro biotransformation reaction via solid-phase microextraction-ambient mass spectrometry approaches
