Structure, dynamics, and inference in networks
Networks offer a unified, conceptual formalism for reasoning about complex, relational systems. While pioneering work in network science focused primarily on the ability of "universal" models to explain the features of observed systems, contemporary research increasingly focuses on challenges and …

Structure, Dynamics and Association of Thermosensitive Core-Shell Particles
… thesis reports the synthesis, characterization, dynamics and association of thermosensitive core-shell particles. The particles consist of a solid core of poly(styrene) with a thin layer of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) onto which a network of PNIPAM is affixed. The degree of crosslinking …

Molecular modeling and simulations of viruses: structure, dynamics and antibody design
Connecting dynamics to structural data from an array of diverse yet complementary experimental sources, all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations permit the exploration of biological phenomena in unparalleled detail. We employed MD simulations and molecular modeling to investigate the dynamic …

The organisational structure, dynamics and strategy of integrated education in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the framework of the education system has been largely set by the 1947 Education Act and the Education Reform Order (1989). Within the framework established by this legislation, there have been a number of other significant initiatives, perhaps most notably the development of …

Structure, dynamics, and interactions of Angiotensin family of peptides with functional implications.
… study of structural analysis and reorientational dynamics of the angiotensin family of peptides. AngI is a decapeptide that acts as a precursor to the octapeptide, AngII in the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone system for blood pressure regulation. Smaller metabolites of AngII, including AngIII, AngIV …
