Theoretical study of the folding kinetics of the ultra-fast folding Trp-cage protein
(2006)
Native-centric coarse-gained models, termed Ca Go models, have been widely used for computational simulation of small protein to study their folding kinetics and thermodynamics. The limitations of these models come from ...
Study of heteroaromatic enediyne and substituted benzothiophene synthesis with relative reactivity of substituted aryl iodides in the Sonogashira reaction
(2006)
Enediyne compounds have captured the imagination of chemists since their
discovery as a class of natural products. Because of their cytotoxicity, these compounds
are not suitable for use in cancer treatment. As a result, ...

(2006)
There has been a dramatic rise in interest in spirituality over the last decade.
Historically, universities began with a spiritual base. Today, superficially, education
generally appears to have lost its spiritual emphasis. ...
Adaptive backstepping based online loss minimization control of an induction motor drive / by San Woo Nam.
(2006)
The efficiency of an induction motor (IM) can be improved by the optimum
selection of a flux level in the motor. Among the numerous loss minimization
algorithms (LMA), a loss-model-based approach offers a fast response ...

(2006)
Social and cultural adaptation may be issues of importance to students of Chinese
origin in Canada, where both Canadian-born and foreign-born Chinese students often

Factors influencing women's participation in mathematical disciplines
(2006)
Few high-achieving, university-bound, female high school students are choosing
to pursue a mathematics degree at university. Researchers have discussed a wide
range of factors that may account for this situation. This ...
Involvement of oral contraceptive side effects and genes in body dissatisfaction and eating dysfunction
(2006)
Previous research has indicated that body dissatisfaction and eating dysfunction fluctuate with
hormone levels (Lester, Keel & Lipson, 2003). However, the im pact of oral contraceptives
(OCs) on these phenomena has not ...
