Catalytic Nucleic Acids: Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, Biosensors, and Nanotechnology
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Since the initial discovery of ribozymes in the early 1980s, catalytic nucleic acids have been used in different areas. Compared with protein enzymes, catalytic nucleic acids are programmable in structure, easy to modify, ... -
Caterpillars in Erdős–Hajnal
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Let T be a tree such that all its vertices of degree more than two lie on one path; that is, T is a caterpillar subdivision. We prove that there exists ε > 0 such that for every graph G with |V(G)| ≥ 2 not containing T as ... -
Cation-Size-Dependent DNA Adsorption Kinetics and Packing Density on Gold Nanoparticles: An Opposite Trend
(American Chemical Society, 2014-11-11)The property of DNA is strongly influenced by counterions. Packing a dense layer of DNA onto a gold nanoparticle (AuNP) generates an interesting colloidal system with many novel physical properties such as a sharp melting ... -
A cell-centred finite volume method for the Poisson problem on non-graded quadtrees with second order accurate gradients
(Elsevier, 2017-02-15)This paper introduces a two-dimensional cell-centred finite volume discretization of the Poisson problem on adaptive Cartesian quadtree grids which exhibits second order accuracy in both "the solution and its gradients, ... -
Cellulose nanocrystals in smart and stimuli-responsive materials: a review
(Elsevier, 2020-03)“Smart” stimuli-responsive materials have been the subject of decades of research because of their versatility and particularly their use in medical and sensing applications. While these materials are often composed ... -
Cervical screening adherence in era of HPV vaccination: how low is too low?
(Elsevier, 2010-02-10)The recently licensed human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can prevent most cervical cancers. However, continued screening is necessary in vaccinated women to prevent cancers caused by high-risk HPV types not included in the ... -
CFD simulation of nanofluid forced convection inside a three-dimensional annulus by two-phase mixture approach: Heat transfer and entropy generation analyses
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)The behavior of water–Al2O3 nanofluid inside the three-dimensional horizontal concentric annulus is investigated by the two-phase mixture procedure regarding the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The annulus walls ... -
Chalcogenides as thermoelectric materials
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Thermoelectric materials can be utilized to generate electricity from a temperature gradient, thereby recycling the nowadays abundant waste heat, as well as for cooling applications by creating a temperature gradient from ... -
Changes in flood events inferred from centennial length streamflow data records
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)This research examines ways that climate change may alter the risk of flooding in cold regions focusing on changes in the flood regimes and changes and shifts in the dominant flood generating processes at 27 natural ... -
Changes in whole-blood PUFA and their predictors during recovery from severe acute malnutrition
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-05-28)Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) with complications require in-patient management including therapeutic feeding. Little attention has been given to the effects of these feeds on the essential fatty acid status ... -
Characteristics of quasistationary near-wall turbulence subjected to strong stable stratification in open-channel flows
(American Physical Society, 2020-06-05)Characteristics of near-wall turbulence at quasistationarity under strong wall cooling are studied using direct numerical simulation of open-channel flow. It is shown that if turbulence reaches quasistationarity, then the ... -
Characterization of anisotropic behaviour of ZK60 extrusion under stress-control condition and notes on fatigue modeling
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The anisotropic fatigue behavior of ZK60 is investigated through stress-control tests along two different material directions: extrusion (ED) and radial (RD) directions. The in-plane random texture along RD promotes ... -
Characterization of daptomycin oligomerization with perylene excimer fluorescence: Stoichiometric binding of phosphatidylglycerol triggers oligomer formation
