Associations of genetic variants in ABCB1, ABCG2, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and SLCO1B1 with statin-associated muscle symptom (SAMS) in South African populations
… especially statinassociated muscle symptoms (SAMS). Strong evidence links SAMS susceptibility to pharmacogenetic variability of ABCB1, ABCG2, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and SLCO1B1, particularly in Asian and European populations. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the impact of pharmacogenetics …

Social accounting matrice and computable general equilibrium modelling in South Africa with reference to the financial sector
… led to the use of Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs) and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models to give quantitative support in the formulation of income redistribution policies. A SAM can be defined as a numerical representation of the economic cycle with emphasis on income distribution. A …

Self-Assembled Monolayers As Models For Silica
… microanalysis. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold were prepared using thiols 1, 2, and 3. SAMs were characterized using reflectance-absorbance infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). Diagnostic vibrational modes were assigned by comparing RAIRS spectra to normal mode frequencies and …

Identifying the Small Apparel Manufacturer: A Typology of Manufacturing Strategies
… a typology of small apparel manufacturers (SAMs), firms classified between SIC 2310 to 2389 and less than 50 employees. The objectives were to (a) determine if distinct manufacturing strategies existed among SAMs, (b) develop a profile of these groups using environmental factors known to …

Multidentate Alkanethiols with Cyclohexyl and Pyridyl Frameworks Forming Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) generated from adsorption of the tridentate adsorbate having a cyclohexane ring as a platform were studied. The first generation of these SAMs was derived form cyclohexane-cis,cis-1,3,5-triyltrimethanethiol (CyTSH) and …

Stability, structure, and barrier properties of self-assembled films on metal supports
… details the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) derived from the adsorption of n-alkanethiols [CH 3(CH2).-ISH] onto copper to protect the underlying metal from corrosion. Due to their dense packing and crystalline structure, these films provide a barrier that impedes the transport of oxygen …

Spectroscopic and electrochemical investigation of phenyl, phenoxy, and hydroxyphenyl-terminated alkanethiol monolayers
… elemental analysis. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold substrates were prepared from thiols 1-8, and the resulting monolayer surfaces were analyzed using Reflectance Absorbance Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS), contact angle goniometry, ellipsometry, reductive desorption cyclic voltametry, …

Energy Transfer Dynamics in Collisions of Polar and Non-polar Gases with Functionalized Self-Assembled Monolayers
… and OH terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold. Surface rigidity, internal degrees of freedom of the impinging gas, and potential energy surface well depths have been explored as a way to predict the outcome of a gas-surface collision. Ne is used to assess the mechanical rigidity …

Identification Of Stimulant Misuse And Malingering Of Symptoms Of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
… scale, the Subtle ADHD Malingering Screener (SAMS), for use in the primary care setting to identify malingering among individuals reporting symptoms of ADHD, and compared the sensitivity of the SAMS to other existing scales. The first paper identified two latent classes in the stimulant user …

Molecular-Level Investigations Combining Nanoscale Lithography and Atomic Force Microscopy
… The head groups of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were designed to selectively resist protein adsorption in areas surrounding small islands of protein-adhesive SAMs. A spatially selective platform for binding proteins was prepared to study protein binding at the molecular level using …

Living in Algorithmic Governance: A Study in the Digital Governance of Social Assistance in Ontario
… program, Social Assistance Management System (SAMS). SAMS represents a hybrid of traditional methods of regimenting welfare assistance and a newer high-tech version. I reveal a critical shift in governance practice with SAMS, as the system governs welfare recipients into a particular mode of …

Studies of polysaccharide adsorption onto model cellulose surfaces and self-assembled monolayers by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy
… PC adsorption onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with different functional groups was also studied. As the degree of cinnamate substitution increased, greater adsorption onto cellulose, methyl-terminated SAMs (SAM-CH3), and hydroxyl-terminated SAMs (SAM-OH) was observed. This study showed …
