Lactation Defect with Impaired Secretory Activation in AEBP1-Null Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a multifunctional protein that negatively regulates the tumor suppressor PTEN and IκBα, the inhibitor of NF-κB, through protein-protein interaction, thereby promoting cell ...
Exergy analysis of heat exchangers in the copper–chlorine thermochemical cycle to enhance thermal effectiveness and cycle efficiency
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
Most existing nuclear power plants in North America are typically water-cooled and operate at 250–500°C. For this temperature level, the copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is one of the most promising cycles that can be integrated ...
Investigation of an integrated hydrogen production system based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: a new approach for sustainable hydrogen production via copper–chlorine thermochemical cycles
(Wiley, 2011)
Hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition is a potential process for direct utilization of nuclear thermal energy to increase efficiency and thereby facilitate energy savings. Thermochemical water splitting ...
A Deployment Optimization Model for Wimax Base-Stations
(2011-06)
Telecommunication technologies are growing rapidly due to the highly demanding markets for different telecom services and applications. Wireless solutions are essential in places where cable infrastructure does not exist, ...
Market Efficiency of Floating Exchange Rate Systems: Some Evidence from Pacific-Asian Countries
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper examines the random walk hypothesis (RWH) and the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) for the Australian dollar and five Asian emerging currencies relative to three benchmark currencies. We use Wright’s (2000) ...
Meta-Heuristic Procedures for the Multi-Resource Leveling Problem with Activity Splitting
(2011-04)
The proper utilization of resources is important to achieve project success. In project management, there are two types of resource scheduling problems. The first is resource allocation in which activities are scheduled ...
Numerical Study of Localization Failure in Structural Steel Under Impact Loading
(2011-10)
High quality steels are used as a skeleton supporting many infrastructure constructions like, for example, skyscrapers, arenas, stadiums, bridges and others. The likelihood that these structures could be severely damaged ...
The Translation of Lexical Collocations in Literary Texts
(2011-06)
Collocations are a fascinating linguistic phenomenon in language and in translation. Collocations reflect the linguistic, stylistic and cultural features of texts. Therefore, the importance of collocations, generally in ...
Novel Near-Field Microwave Testing Method for Outdoor Insulators
(2011-06)
Outdoor insulators are very vital in providing energized overhead lines mechanical support and electrical insulation from grounded structures. Insulators can be divided according to the material they are made of into glass, ...
Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with CFRP Laminates Under Fire - A Finite Element Simulation
(2011-03)
For the last two decades, the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) material has been successfully employed in many civil engineering applications. FRP strengthening systems are mainly used to retrofit existing and deficient ...
