Modeling and Efficient Estimation of Intra-Family Correlations
… models this dependence with an equicorrelated structure. This structure is appropriate when the dependencies between family members are similar, such as in genetic studies, but not in cases where we expect the dependencies to differ, such as behavioral comparisons across different age groups. …

A case study of a public applied learning school
… development and continuation of the school's alternative structure and practices. Two research questions guided the focus of this qualitative study: (1) How did this applied learning school begin? (2) How has this applied learning school continued and grown over time? The study was conducted …

Investigation Into Protein Folding and Misfolding
… fold into their native tertiary and quaternary structures. Understanding how genetic material encodes the primary structure of amino acids was the basis of the first-half of the genetic code. This in part sparked a technological race to solve the sequence of whole genomes, leading to the human …

Exploring how entrepreneurs make decisions on the growth of their business: A cognitive perspective
… unclear what cognitive styles and knowledge structures entrepreneurs use to process and frame information for opportunity-related decision-making. A closer look at opportunity evaluation, decision-making and entrepreneurial cognition revealed fragmentation, research gaps and areas for future …

Modeling the properties of silicates
… and Gibbs, 1993) successfully generates the structure types of both α and β1 quartz along with at least five alternative structure types of silica not yet observed to our knowledge. These structure types are identified by the existence of symmetry elements represented in the optimized atomic …

The functions of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A in rheumatoid arthritis.
… a homotetramer with ~ 200,000 M[r] subunits. An alternative structure has since been proposed of a disulphide bridged complex consisting of equimolar amounts of the PAPP-A subunit and the proform of eosinophil major basic protein (pro MBP).The increasing levels of PAPP-A produced during pregnancy …

Alternative structures for integrated electromagnetic passives
… Based on planar homogeneous integrated structures, the mechanism of the electromagnetic integration of passives has been investigated with distributed-parameter models. High order modeling of integrated passives has been developed to investigate the electromagnetic performance. The …

Computational analyses on the structure-function relation in ion channels
… purpose of this thesis was to investigate the structure-function relation in ion channels, by computational techniques. Most of the analyses focused on the mechanisms of ion conduction, and the numerical methodologies to compute the channel conductance. The standard techniques for atomistic …

The Africanization of the Methodist Church : with special focus on the Revs. Zaccheus R. Mahabane and the Rev. Seth Mokitimi
… exclusivity in nature. The author proposes an alternative structure or a restructuring of the BMC to become an inclusive structure that will speed up the move towards the Africanization of the church. The thesis further offers a comparative analysis between the leaders under investigation and …
