Textbook Broke: Textbook Affordability as a Social Justice Issue
Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2020 In light of rising textbook prices, open education resources (OER) have been shown to decrease non-tuition costs, while simultaneously increasing academic access, student performance, and time-to-graduation rates.

Purification and Substrate Specificity of Key Enzymes Involved in Plant Wax Synthesis [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesPlant waxes, as a class of hydrophobic lipid complexes covering the outer surface of plant epidermal cells, play a central role in reducing water transpiration, resisting biotic and abiotic stresses, and maintaining epidermal integrity.

The channel capacity of the postal channel
Information and Control, 1970 A mathematical model is proposed for a postal service which occasionally loses letters. A positive coding theorem and a converse is proved for this channel. The coding theorem is proved by utilizing a deterministic code (Reed-Solomon code) and bounded discrepancy decoding.

Using side flow jets as a scour countermeasure downstream of a sluice gate
Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2021 Background Local scour is one of the main problems affecting the stability and operation of control hydraulic structures. Many techniques were used to control the resulting scour.

European Journal of Combinatorics, 2019 We present an algorithm that, given a channel, determines if there is a distance for it such that the maximum likelihood decoder coincides with the minimum distance decoder. We also show that any metric, up to a decoding equivalence, can be isometrically embedded into the hypercube with the Hamming metric, and thus, in terms of decoding, the Hamming ...

The desensitization pathway of GABAA receptors, one subunit at a time
Nature Communications, 2020 GABAA receptors mediate most inhibitory synaptic transmission in the brain. Here authors used concatemeric α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors to introduce gain-of-desensitization mutations one subunit at a time, revealing non-concerted rearrangements with a key ...

Clicking for friendship: social network sites and the medium of personhood
MedieKultur: Journal of Media and Communication Research, 2010 Social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook depend on familiar social resources, including language, reading/writing and established semantic constructs such as personhood, privacy and friends. However, the use of computers, the Web 2.0 platform,

Definition of two agonist types at the mammalian cold-activated channel TRPM8
eLife, 2016 Various TRP channels act as polymodal sensors of thermal and chemical stimuli, but the mechanisms whereby chemical ligands impact on TRP channel gating are poorly understood.

Illumination of a progressive allosteric mechanism mediating the glycine receptor activation
Nature Communications, 2023 Glycine receptors are channel receptors mediating signal transduction between neurons that transit between resting and open states upon neurotransmitter binding.
