Investigation of Synthetic Proteins Produced via Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesis by Cowfer, Amanda Elizabeth

“…Since the introduction of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the peptide community has endeavored to combine the convenience of flow chemistry with the iterative steps associated with peptide elongation in SPPS. Nearly one decade ago, members of the Pentelute lab envisioned and developed a flow-based peptide synthesizer, the Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesizer, or AFPS for short. …”

Adaptive modulation and subcarrier allocation for multiuser OFDM/CDMA systems by Zhang, Hua

“…The comparisons of the OFDM/CDMA, OFDM Interleaved-FDMA and OFDM Group-FDMA have been analyzed for the data transmission. Because of the near-unity reuse factor, one of the important merits of CDMA, the combination of OFDM and CDMA, known as OFDM/CDMA, brings substantial increase in the transmission data rate per unit bandwidth when the frequency resources are limited. …”

Optimization and scheduling for a large-scale urban transportation system involving human factors by Zhang, Yi

“…With computational complexity being a concern for our model, an evolutionary algorithm with repairing mechanism (EARM), is proposed to solve our problem. Thirdly, we address the bus dispatching system from the tactical and operational level, with the aim to minimize passenger delay and bus vacancy by scheduling corresponding vehicles. …”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

‘Des nouvelles de mon infortunée sœur’: Marie-Antoinette dans les lettres de l’archiduchesse Marie-Christine à l’empereur François by Seth, C

“…The difficulty of obtaining accurate information and the whirl of various rumours about the fate of the illustrious prisoner and her close family combined with the foreign powers’ evident reluctance to intervene for fear of political and military repercussions. Not only were the Austrian Netherlands (of which the duke and duchess of Saxony-Teschen were governers) at boiling point, war had also been declared between Marie-Antoinette’s homeland and the country where she hoped her son the dauphin would one day reign. …”
