Synthetic ion transporters: new analytical approaches for the investigation of ion binding and transport
… focuses on synthetic ion transporters: SATs). SATs have a relatively simple chemical structure but they aggregate, self-assemble and insert in biological membranes much in the same way as their much more complex naturally occurring analogs. This makes SATs valuable tools for the …

Modeling of United States Airline Fares -- Using the Official Airline Guide (OAG) and Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B)
… as NASA's Small Airplane Transportation System (SATS). Developing an aggregate cost model i.e. a 'generic fare model' of the disaggregated airline fares is required to measure the cost of air travel. In this thesis, the ratio of average fare to distance i.e. fare per mile and average fare is used …
