DECISION FRAMEWORKS AND SYNERGISM IN INVESTMENT MANAGER SELECTION
Gatekeepers—professional buyers responsible for the selection of investment managers for institutional and wealth management clients—exercise influence over more than $44 trillion in traditional actively managed investments. However, both the investing public and academic research have limited …

Synergism of Gingipains in Endothelial Cell Adhesion Disruption and Apoptosis
<p>The presence of <em>Porphyromonas gingivalis</em>in the periodontal pocket and the high levels of gingipain activity detected in gingival crevicular fluid could implicate a role for gingipains in the destruction of the highly vascular periodontal tissue. To explore the effects of these proteases …

Examination of synergism in nitrate and orthophosphate removal in bioreactors
… material and woodchips as reactor media. Synergism was displayed as a result of alternating media arrangement with the observation of 25% higher reduction in nitrate-N concentrations, on average, as a result of interaction with woodchips when woodchips were downstream of steel turnings as …

Role of cavitation, surfactants, and their synergism in transdermal sonophoresis
… with LFS, ii) the physical mechanism that causes synergism between LFS and chemical penetration enhancers (CPEs), iii) the interactions between traditional and non-traditional surfactants in LFS skin treatments, and iv) the effects of LFS and LFS/CPEs on skin structural perturbation. In the first …

Using network inference to discover molecular pathways underlying cytokine synergism and age-related neurodegeneration
New high-throughput "omic" methods can help shed light on molecular pathways underpinning diseases ranging from cancers to neurodegenerative disorders. However, effectively integrating information across these diverse data types is challenging. Network modeling approaches can help bridge this gap. …

Teammind: A Case Study of Collective Synergism, Team Development, and Decision-Making under Time Constraints
Advances in technology are challenging our concept of time and cognitive abilities to process and digest information in a dynamic environment. To develop a quality product that meets user's needs and to perform within budget and program milestones, requires the expertise and shared understandings …

The Role of Connexin36 in Dopamine D1/D2 Synergism and its Breakdown in Transgenic Mice
… D2 receptors, a phenomenon referred to as D1/D2 synergism. Since D1 and D2 receptors are located mostly on separate neurons, and since D1/D2 synergism occurs in the absence of action potentials, we have suggested that electrotonic coupling via gap junctions plays an important role in this …

DETERMINATION OF THE SYNERGISM BETWEEN EROSION AND CORROSION IN POTASH-SAND SLURRY CORROSION OF CARBON STEEL
… may occur between them. Erosion-corrosion synergism may cause more or less material loss beyond the effects of pure erosion and pure corrosion. Experiments were performed using saturated sand-potash slurries over a wide range of solids concentrations, velocities, and two particle sizes. A …

Synergism between immune activators and progestogens: differential effects on gene expression and HIV-1 replication and the role of the glucocorticoid receptor
Globally, women account for more than half of the 36.9 million people living with HIV-1. In some regions particularly Sub-Saharan Africa, women of child-bearing age are at great risk of being infected with HIV-1 than men of the same age group. Transmission is mainly through penetrative vaginal …

Sensitivity to Dopamine D1/D2 Receptor Stimulation in Mice Lacking Connexin-32 or Connexin-36
Previous work has shown D1/D2 requisite synergism can still occur in the striatum in the absence of action potentials. Some nonclassical communication such as gap junctions may be allowing the segregated dopamine (DA) receptors to interact to produce stereotyped motor activity. Connexin-32 (Cx32) …

The synthesis and characterisation of novel long chain dimethyl siloxane surfactants.
… scanning calorimetry. Finally, some work on synergism has been described. When different types of surfactants are purposely mixed, what is sought is synergism, the condition when the properties of the mixture are better than those attainable with the individual components by themselves.
