Chemical shift assignments of calmodulin constructs with EF hand mutations
(Springer, 2016-04-01)Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous cytosolic Ca2+-binding protein able to bind and regulate hundreds of different proteins. It consists of two globular domains joined by a flexible central linker region. Each one of these ... -
Chemical shift perturbations induced by residue specific mutations of CaM interacting with NOS peptides
(Springer, 2015-10-01)The regulation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by calmodulin (CaM) plays a major role in a number of key physiological and pathological processes. A detailed molecular level picture of how this regulation is achieved is ... -
CHI PLAYGUE: A Mobile Conference Networking Game
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-11-06)Modern professional networking relies on social media. To take advantage of this fact, we present CHI PLAYGUE, a conference game designed to facilitate interaction among strangers and encourage social networking to create ... -
Children accept information from incongruent speakers when the context explains the communicative incongruence
(Elsevier, 2019-07-30)Past work has shown that children are less likely to solicit information from speakers who use incongruent communicative cues (i.e., demonstrate an emotion nonverbally that differs from the emotional valence of the words) ... -
Children's Communicative Decisions Are Influenced by Gender, Shyness, and Peer Experiences
(Wayne State University Press, 2020-01)The present study examined how school-age children's communicative decisions are influenced by the situation, their social partner, and their own characteristics (gender, shyness levels, and history of peer relationships). ... -
Children's reactions to inequality: Associations with empathy and parental teaching
(Elsevier, 2020-09-24)While children generally prefer equal distributions of resources, we know little about the contextual and individual variability in these preferences. The present work examined experimental manipulations and associations ... -
Children's sharing with collaborators versus competitors: The impact of theory of mind and executive functioning
(Elsevier, 2018-09-07)While children show an appreciation for fairness, their sharing does not always reflect such principles. This work examined how contextual factors (competition/cooperation; self/other perspective) and socio-cognitive skills ... -
Choosing Healthcare Options by Involving Canada's Elderly: a protocol for the CHOICE realist synthesis project on engaging older persons in healthcare decision-making
(British Medical Association Journal, 2015-11-01)Introduction: While patient and citizen engagement has been recognised as a crucial element in healthcare reform, limited attention has been paid to how best to engage seniors-the fastest growing segment of the population ... -
The Chronology of the Desecration of the Temple and the Prophecies of Daniel 7–12 Reconsidered
(Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, 2019-12-01)Generations of scholars have been puzzled by the chronological time frame that the Seleukid prophecies of Daniel 7–12 are structured around. Basic to the problem is Dan 11.40–45, which clearly implies that the author did ... -
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 ... -
