Introduction - Oxford Energy Forum – Issue, 98

“…These circumstances have coincided with the North American unconventional boom and Mexico’s landmark reform that brought the Americas back onto the industry map again.</p> <p>Since the pre-salt discoveries in Brazil – which are underway to reach their first production milestone – were first announced in 2007, a new wave of diverse potential opportunities has emerged. …”

Autoinhibition releasing provides a platform for developing p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) activators for hypertrophic heart diseases by He, Y

“…Moreover, molecular dynamics simulations, combined with crystallographic and kinase kinetic studies provided evidence elucidating that these molecules activate PAK1 through neutralising its autoinhibitory regulation, and mapped out detailed conformational states that PAK1 undergoes during this regulatory process.…”

Human factors in agile software development by Lin, Jun

“…To address these three questions, we have conducted a series of experiments, simulations and data analysis, and contributed a series of solutions and insights in this research, including 1) a Goal Net based method to enhance goal and requirement management for ASD process, 2) a novel Simple Multi-Agent Real-Time (SMART) approach to enhance intelligent task allocation for ASD process, 3) a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) based method to enhance emotion and morale management for ASD process, 4) a large-scale in-depth empirical analysis of human factors in the agile development process through the continuous observation of student ASD teams, and 5) the identification of an ASD process as a human-computation system that uses humans to perform tasks that computers are not good at and computers to assist human decision making.…”
