    • Structures of pyruvate kinases display evolutionarily divergent allosteric strategies 

      Morgan, Hugh P.; Zhong, Wenhe; McNae, Iain W. (2014)
      The transition between the inactive T-state (apoenzyme) and active R-state (effector bound enzyme) of Trypanosoma cruzi pyruvate kinase (PYK) is accompanied by a symmetrical 8 rigid body rocking motion of the A- and C-domain ...
    • Study of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for finding exact analytical solutions 

      Khan, Kamruzzaman (2015)
      Exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) are obtained via the enhanced (G_x0002_/G)-expansion method. The method is subsequently applied to find exact solutions of the Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson ...
    • Sub Nyquist artefacts and samplingmoiré effects 

      Amidror, Isaac (The Royal Society, 2015)
      Sampling moiré effects are well known in signal processing. They occur when a continuous periodic signalg(x) is sampled using a sampling frequencyfsthat does not respect the Nyquist condition, and the signal-frequencyf ...
    • The subgenual organ complex in the cave cricket 

      Strauß, Johannes; Stritih, Nataša; Lakes-Harlan, Reinhard (2014)
      Comparative studies of the organization of nervous systems and sensory organs can reveal their evolution and specific adaptations. In the forelegs of some Ensifera (including crickets and tettigoniids), tympanal hearing ...
    • Supervised learning from human performance at the computationally hard problemof optimal traffic signal control on a network of junctions 

      Box, Simon (2014)
      Optimal switching of traffic lights on a network of junctions is a computationally intractable problem. In this research, road traffic networks containing signallized junctions are simulated. A computer game interface is ...
    • Supporting Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities & Mental Illness 

      Melrose, Sherri; Dusome, Debra; Simpson, John (Campus Manitoba, 2015)
      This multidisciplinary resource develops topics of interest to all those who care about and for individuals with co-occurring intellectual disabilities and mental illness. Each chapter presents current evidence informed ...
    • Surface drag reduction and flow separation control in pelagic vertebrates 

      Palmer, Colin; Young, Mark T. (2015)
      Living in water imposes severe constraints on the evolution of the vertebrate body. As a result of these constraints, numerous extant and extinct aquatic vertebrate groups evolved convergent osteological and soft-tissue ...
    • Sustainability, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship 

      Larson, Andrea (The Saylor Foundation, 2011)
      This book is suited for the Entrepreneurship or Innovation course with an emphasis on Sustainability or for a course devoted entirely to Sustainability. What are the trends and forces underlying the changing character of ...

    • Sustaining the Commons 

      Anderies, John; Janssen, Marco (Arizona State University, 2016)
      In this book you will learn about institutions–the rules and norms that guide the interactions among us. Those rules and norms can be found from traffic rules, rules in sports, regulations on when and where alcohol can be ...
    • Symbiotic bacteria enable olive fly larvae to overcome host defences 

      Ben-Yosef, Michael; Pasternak, Zohar; Jurkevitch, Edouard (2015)
      Ripe fruit offer readily available nutrients for many animals, including fruit fly larvae (Diptera: Tephritidae) and their associated rot-inducing bacteria. Yet, during most of their ontogeny, fruit remain chemically ...
    • A synthetic, catalytic and theoretical investigation of an unsymmetrical SCN pincer palladacycle 

      Roffe, Gavin W.; Boonseng, Sarote; Baltus, Christine B. (2016)
      The SCN ligand 2-{3-[(methylsulfanyl)methyl]phenyl}pyridine, 1, has been synthesized starting from an initial Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) coupling between 3-((hydroxymethyl)phenyl)boronic acid and 2-bromopyridine. The C–H activation ...
    • Taking a closer look 

      Holzwarth, Frédéric; Rüger, Nadja; Wirth, Christian (2015)
      Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has progressed from the detection of relationships to elucidating their drivers and underlying mechanisms. In this context, replacing taxonomic predictors by trait-based ...
    • A tale of two seas 

      Gubili, Chrysoula; Sims, David W.; Veríssimo, Ana (2014)
      Elasmobranchs represent important components of marine ecosystems, but they can be vulnerable to overexploitation. This has driven investigations into the population genetic structure of large-bodied pelagic sharks, but ...
