Symbolic Computation of Quantities Associated with Time-Periodic Dynamical Systems
(2015-05-07)
Many dynamical systems can be modeled by a set of linear/nonlinear ordinary differential equations with periodic time-varying coefficients. The state transition matrix S(t,a) associated with the linear part of the equation ...
Symptom Centrality and Bridge Symptoms in Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Multi-Sample Network Analysis in Trauma-Exposed Adults
(2019-06-07)
As self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) remain a pressing public health concern, research continues to focus on risk factors, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Prior research on SITB and PTSD has primarily ...
Synaptic Glutamate Receptor Dysfunction in Tissue and Animal Models of Alzheimer’s Disease
(2005-08-15)
The complexity of cognitive decline involved in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) warrants a thorough investigation into the molecular mechanism that may hold the basis for the impaired learning and memory. Indeed, certain molecules ...
Synergistic Approach to the Stable Production of Solar Fuels by Coupling Urea Oxidation with Hydrogen Generation
(2018-12-03)
A solar waste-to-fuels concept was presented to synergistically produce hydrogen fuel from visible sunlight while remediating urea wastewater. A cascade semiconductor-catalyst electrode assembly was designed to drive the ...
Synergy MAC: A Cooperative MAC Protocol
(2009-02-25)
Since the advent of IEEE's 802.11 standard, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) have gained widespread acceptance in providing broadband wireless access to portable devices. The performance of any WLAN depends largely on ...
Synergy not Antagonism in Antioxidant Defenses: The Unanticipated Effect of Electron Donors on Catalase-peroxidase Function
(2013-04-22)
Catalase-peroxidases, also called KatGs, have raised considerable interest due to their role in the activation of isoniazid, an anti-tubercular pro-drug for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. KatGs are heme-dependent enzymes and ...
Synovial Membrane Microarthroscopy of the Equine Midcarpal Joint:Technique Application and Evaluation of Four Vital Stains
(2005-08-15)
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of
