New insight into the allosteric effect of L-tyrosine on mushroom tyrosinase during L-dopa production
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Kinetics studies of L-tyrosine (LTy) ortho-hydroxylation by mushroom tyrosinase (MT) confirmed that MT was severely, but not completely, inhibited at higher concentrations of LTy. Despite the availability of the crystal ... -
A New Na+-Dependent RNA-Cleaving DNAzyme with over 1000-fold Rate Acceleration by Ethanol
(Wiley, 2016-01-15)Enzymes working in organic solvents are important for analytical chemistry, catalysis, and mechanistic studies. Although a few protein enzymes are highly active in organic solvents, little is known regarding nucleic ... -
A new perspective on loss to follow-up in failure time and life history studies
(Wiley, 2019-07-24)A framework is proposed for the joint modeling of life history and loss to follow-up (LTF) processes in cohort studies. This framework provides a basis for discussing independence conditions for LTF and censoring and ... -
A New Portable Digital Meniscometer
(Wolters Kluwer, 2014-01)Purpose: The aims of this study were (i) to develop a new portable slit-lamp mounted digital meniscometer (PDM) and (ii) to test its accuracy and repeatability compared to the existing Yokoi et al. videomeniscometer ... -
New Techniques for Static Symmetry Breaking in Many-Sorted Finite Model Finding
(IEEE, 2023-06-01)Symmetry in finite model finding problems of many-sorted first-order logic (MSFOL) can be exploited to reduce the number of interpretations considered during search, thereby improving solver performance for tools such as ... -
Nine Challenges In Incorporating The Dynamics Of Behaviour In Infectious Diseases Models
(Elsevier, 2015-03-01)Traditionally, the spread of infectious diseases in human populations has been modelled with static parameters. These parameters, however, can change when individuals change their behaviour. If these changes are themselves ... -
Nishga Initiative and Missionary Response: Robert Doolan at Quinwoch, B.C.
(SAGE, 1981-07-01)In this historical study of the work of pioneer missionary Robert Doolan, Professor Patterson points out the initiative shown by the Nishga people of the northwest coast of British Columbia and how this interest helped ... -
Nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon polyhedrons embedded with highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles as a highly efficient and stable hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a promising alternative method of producing clean and renewable hydrogen resources. Although Pt-based nanomaterials are the most efficient catalysts for HER, their poor stability ... -
No, we can't just script it: and other refrains from (tired) archival data migrators
(2017-09-28)How are print finding aids migrated from binders in reading rooms to web-based descriptive platforms? And why is it taking so long? Paying special attention to format, description and discoverability challenges presented ... -
Noise refocusing in a five-blade neutron interferometer
(AIP Publishing, 2017-08-07)We provide a quantum information description of a proposed five-blade neutron interferometer geometry and show that it is robust against low-frequency mechanical vibrations and dephasing due to the dynamical phase. The ... -
Non-invasive brain stimulation interventions for management of chronic central neuropathic pain: a scoping review protocol
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2017-10-16)Introduction Pain can affect people regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Chronic central neuropathic pain (CCNP) is a debilitating condition that affects populations such as stroke survivors, amputees, spinal cord injury ... -
Non-linear, non-monotonic effect of nano-scale roughness on particle deposition in absence of an energy barrier: Experiments and modeling
(Springer Nature, 2015-12-11)Deposition of colloidal- and nano-scale particles on surfaces is critical to numerous natural and engineered environmental, health, and industrial applications ranging from drinking water treatment to semi-conductor ... -
A non-local plasticity model of stimulated volume evolution during hydraulic fracturing
(Elsevier, 2018-10-02)Hydraulic fracturing in naturally fractured rocks often leads to the creation of a stimulated zone in which the target rock formation is deformed and fractured by the reactivation and shear dilation of natural fractures ... -
Nonlinear electrokinetic motion of electrically induced Janus droplets in microchannels
(Elsevier, 2019-03-07)The nonlinear electrokinetic motion of electrically induced Janus droplets (EIJDs) in a microchannel is studied in this paper. The EIJDs were fabricated by operating the positively charged aluminum oxide nanoparticles to ... -
Nonlinear model predictive control of a multiscale thin film deposition process using artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2019-11-02)The purpose of this study was to employ Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to develop data-driven models that would enable the shrinking horizon nonlinear model predictive control of a computationally intensive stochastic ... -
Nonsmooth Bifurcations of Mean Field Systems of Two-Dimensional Integrate and Fire Neurons
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2016)Mean field systems have recently been derived that adequately predict the behaviors of large networks of coupled integrate-and-fire neurons [W. Nicola and S.A. Campbell, J. Comput. Neurosci., 35 (2013), pp. 87-108]. The ... -
Nonsmooth Modeling of Vibro-Impacting Euler-Bernoulli Beam
(Hindawi, 2012-06-17)A new technique to simulate nonsmooth motions occurring in vibro-impacting continuous systems is proposed. Sticking motions that are encountered during vibro-impact simulation are imposed exactly using a Lagrange multiplier, ... -
Normal Mode Spectra of Idealized Baroclinic Waves
