The European Union as a normative power and its relations with Israel
… The concept of a ‘Normative Power Europe’ (NPE) has been repeatedly cited as the framework which governs the relations between the EU and international actors and this dissertation will analyse two specific cases concerning Israel where NPE takes centre stage in namely, the labelling issue …

Bayesian multiple-network multi-layer exponential random graph models (MNML-ERGMs): developing efficient inference and application to neuroimaging
… inference by using neural posterior estimation (NPE), which trains neural networks to directly estimate the posterior distributions. This largely improves the scalability of Bayesian inference for ERGM compared to traditional estimation approaches. We systematically assess NPE bias and provide …

Nonlinear acoustic pulse propagation in range-dependent underwater environments
The nonlinear progressive wave equation (NPE) is a time-domain formulation of Euler's fluid equations designed to model low angle wave propagation using a wave-following computational domain. The standard formulation consists of four separate mathematical quantities that physically represent …

Caged phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins : probes to dissect the role of phosphorylation in complex signaling pathways
… of NI-Fmoc-protected 1-(2-nitrophenyl) ethyl (NPE) caged phosphothreonine, serine, and tyrosine building blocks facilitate the straightforward assembly of any caged phosphopeptide through Fmoc-based solid phase peptide synthesis. Removal of the NPE caging group by irradiation with …

Development and application of chemical tools for investigating dynamic processes in cell migration
… incorporation of 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl (NPE)-caged phosphoserine at position 19. The NPE caging group masks the phosphate functionality and inhibits protein function until irradiation at 365 nm releases the native phospho-mRLC to restore myosin activity. Introduction of the caged mRLC …

Influence of parenting style and environment on perception of picky eating behaviors in toddlers
… a picky eater (PE, n=83) and a non-picky eater (NPE, n=88). Parents of PEs served similar foods as parents of NPEs, indicating that more factors besides food availability influence pickiness in children. Exploratory qualitative research was then conducted to assess parental perception of picky …

Impact of Litigation Financing Disclosures on Patent Litigation
… of cases instigated by Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs) following the mandate, alongside indications of strategic forum shopping aimed at circumventing disclosure requirements. Furthermore, the study finds reductions in settlement time for cases filed by likely financially constrained plaintiffs …

Influence of energy concentration of fattening rations on nitrogen utilization by steers
… Digestibility of' dry matter, organic matter and NPE significantly increased and digestibility of crude fiber significantly decreased with each increase in energy concentration.

Reforming investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS): European Union flexing its normative power?
… seeks to contribute to Normative Power Europe (‘NPE’) literature as proposed by Ian Manners by incorporating normative ethics of the EU analysis to the novel case of ICS at the bilateral and multilateral levels. It examines the virtue, deontological and consequentialist ethical positions that the …

Towards Net Positive and Nearly Zero Carbon Residential Neighborhoods
… shape can negatively affect net-positive energy (NPE) status by 8-10%. The best neighborhood design achieved a 13.9% net-positive energy status and diminished carbon emissions by 95%.

An experimental and numerical analysis of the exit flow in a slit die for polymer melts
… performed for a polystyrene (Styron 678), LDPE (NPE 952), and HDPE (LY600-00) melts for the following shear rate (γ̇) and wall shear stress (σw) 0.05 ≤ γ̇w ≤ 3.2 s⁻¹ and 4.84 ≤ σw ≤ 16.4 KPa. It was found that the flow in the die exit region is not a unidirectional shear flow, which is direct …
