The role of smartphone applications as English learning tool among Chinese university students by Liu, Mengjie, Noordin, Nooreen, Ismail, Lilliati, Abd Rahim, Nur Aira, Zaremohzzabieh, Zeinab

“…The results demonstrate that the utilization of smartphone apps can indeed have a positive influence on Chinese non-English majors' out-of-class English listening learning, and change their listening learning styles to a great extent. Fragmented learning time and informal learn ing place were widely accepted by students due to the flexib ility and portability of smartphone apps, which create more learning opportunities for them and in turn lengthens their learning time. …”

Morphological multiparameter filtration and persistent homology in mitochondrial image analysis by Chung, Yu-Min, Hu, Chuan-Shen, Sun, Emily, Tseng, Henry C.

Stapled BH3 Peptides against MCL-1 : mechanism and design using atomistic simulations by Joseph, Thomas L., Lane, David P., Verma, Chandra Shekhar.

“…Atomistic simulations of a set of stapled alpha helical peptides derived from the BH3 helix of MCL-1 (Stewart et al. (2010) Nat Chem Biol 6: 595–601) complexed to a fragment (residues 172–320) of MCL-1 revealed that the highest affinity is achieved when the staples engage the surface of MCL-1 as has also been demonstrated for p53-MDM2 (Joseph et al. (2010) Cell Cycle 9: 4560–4568; Baek et al. (2012) J Am Chem Soc 134: 103–106). …”
