Publisher Summary This chapter suggests a particular decomposition that relies on classical
concepts and that is intuitively straightforward. It aims to provide a semi-quantitative basis …

Next generation magnetic microwave devices will be planar, smaller, weigh less, and perform
well beyond the present state-of-the-art. For this to become a reality advances in ferrite …

Purpose: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process whereby cells acquire
molecular alterations that facilitate cell motility and invasion. In preliminary studies, we …

… A total of 84 male Sprague-Dawley rats (150 to 200 g) were obtained from the Central Animal
House, Yang Ming University, Taiwan. Forty-two animals underwent subtotal nephrectomy …

This paper describes a general method to calculate the pK a s of ionizable groups in proteins.
Electrostatic calculations are carried out using the finite difference Poisson–Boltzmann (…

In this work, we pursue a unified paradigm for multimodal pretraining to break the shackles
of complex task/modality-specific customization. We propose OFA, a Task-Agnostic and …

A theoretical approach to the treatment of solute-solvent interactions is described. The solute
is described as a low dielectric cavity immersed in a dielectric continuum. However, the …

This paper treats the free energy contribution of ionizable groups to protein stability. A method
is presented for the calculation of the pH dependence of the denaturation free energy of a …

< jats: p> Dual-number quaternion algebra has been used to obtain explicit, closed-form
algebraic expressions for the displacements, velocities, velocity ratios, forces, torques, …

Chronic liver disease with cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States,
and alcoholic liver disease accounts for approximately half of all cirrhosis deaths. Chronic …
