Cinnamaldehyde Characterization as an Antibacterial Agent toward E. coli Metabolic Profile Using 96-Blade Solid-Phase Microextraction Coupled to Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
(American Chemical Society, 2016-01-26)Sampling and sample preparation plays an important role in untargeted analysis as it influences final composition of the analyzed extract and consequently reflection of the metabolome. In the current work, mechanism of ... -
Circular economy: Joint dynamic pricing and recycling investments
(Elsevier, 2021-06-01)In a circular economy, the use of recycled resources in production is a key performance indicator for management. Yet, academic studies are still unable to inform managers on appropriate recycling and pricing policies. We ... -
Circulation and oxygen cycling in the Mediterranean Sea: Sensitivity to future climate change
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-11-12)Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and decrease precipitation in the Mediterranean Sea (MS) basin, causing substantial changes in the thermohaline circulation (THC) of both the Western Mediterranean Sea ... -
Citrate inhibition of cisplatin reaction with DNA studied using fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides: implication for selectivity towards guanine
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-10-21)The reaction between cisplatin and DNA is conveniently studied using fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides and gel electrophoresis; as an example of application, the inhibition of this reaction by citrate is demonstrated, ... -
Civic Hackathons: New Terrain for Local Government-Citizen Interaction?
(Cogitatio Press, 2016)As more and more governments share open data, tech developers respond by creating apps using these data to generate content or provide services that citizens may find useful. More recently, there is an increase in popularity ... -
Civilisational values and political economy beyond the West: The significance of Korean debates at the time of its economic opening
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-12-06)This paper analyses the prominence of civilisational values in Korean political economy debates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries concerning their country’s dramatic opening to the world economy at the time. Korean ... -
CK-2 of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has two differentially regulated alleles that encode a functional chemokine
(Elsevier, 2018-04)Rainbow trout chemokine 2 (CK-2) is currently the only known CC chemokine to have a mucin stalk. Further analysis of the mucin stalk region revealed a second, related CC chemokine sequence, denoted here as CK-2.1. This ... -
Classical regression and predictive modeling
(Elsevier, 2022-05)BACKGROUND: With the advent of personalized and stratified medicine, there has been much discussion about predictive modeling and the role of classical regression in modern medical research. We describe and distinguish the ... -
Classification of Construction Projects
(World Academy of Science, 2015-07-01)In order to address construction project requirements and specifications, scholars and practitioners need to establish taxonomy according to a scheme that best fits their need. While existing characterization methods are ... -
A Cleavable Molecular Beacon for Hg2+ Detection based on Phosphorothioate RNA Modifications
(American Chemical Society, 2015-06-10)Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal, and detection of Hg2+ by biosensors has attracted extensive research interest in the past decade. In particular, a number of DNA-based sensing strategies have been developed. Well-known ... -
CLEVER: A Trivia and Strategy Game for Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Knowledge management (KM) includes the acquisition, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge within a company. The problem with many enterprise KM systems is that they are complex and hardly used, because workers lack ... -
CLEVER: Gamification and Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(ACM, 2016-10-16)This paper describes the design and a preliminary implementation study of a gamified knowledge management system (KMS) that supports the learning component within knowledge management (KM). KM includes acquiring social ... -
Climate Change-Accelerated Ocean Biodiversity Loss & Associated Planetary Health Impacts
(Elsevier, 2022-01)A planetary health perspective views human health as a function of the interdependent relationship between human systems and the natural systems in which we live. The planetary health impacts of climate change induced ocean ... -
Clinical Applications of Artificial Intelligence in positron emission tomography of Lung Cancer
(Elsevier, 2022-01)The ability of a computer to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence or artificial intelligence (AI) is not new. However, until recently, practical applications in medical imaging were limited, especially in ... -
