(2009-05-15)
(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) perovskite materials have been developed as promising lead-free piezoelectric materials for environmentally and biologically benign piezoelectric devices. To date, however, there are few reports on ...
Structural and Functional Studies to Investigate Enzymatic Catalysis and Flavin Transfer Mechanism of The Two-component Alkanesulfonate Monooxygenase System from Escherichia coli
(2012-05-07)
Several bacterial organisms rely on the two-component alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system for the acquisition of organosulfonate compounds when inorganic sulfur is limiting in the environment. This system is comprised of ...
Structural Characterization of Recycled Materials at the NCAT Test Track
(2019-11-22)
The functional and structural performance of two pavement recycling techniques: Cold Central-Plant Recycling (CCPR) and Cement Treated Base (CTB) from a Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) process, were evaluated under accelerated ...
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) of an Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to Report Web Technology Adoption Behavior in Higher Education Institutions
(2013-11-08)
Web technologies used in higher education institutions are aimed to offer practical value to faculty members and students in facilitating their teaching learning and other academic processes. However, a number of recent ...
Structural Features That Promote Catalysis in Two-Component Systems Involved in Sulfur Metabolism
(2020-07-20)
Sulfur is an essential element important in the synthesis of biomolecules. Bacteria are able to assimilate inorganic sulfur for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine. Inorganic sulfate is often unavailable, so bacteria have evolved ...
Structural Integrity of Hasty Aircraft Inflatable Large Shelters (HAILS) Under Wind Loads
(2024-05-03)
Hasty aircraft inflatable large shelters (HAILS) are lightweight, long spanning, cost efficient, easily transported, and easily erected structures. However, these flexible membrane structures are susceptible to large ...
