The MIMIC–CUB Model for the Prediction of the Economic Public Opinions in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Indicators Research, 2018
To study the Europeans’ perception on the economic conditions, a model that combine Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) and Combination of Uniform and shifted Binomial (CUB) is proposed.

Modeling the Mechanism of the Glutathione Peroxidase Mimic Ebselen

Inorganic Chemistry, 2011
Ebselen (1), the quintessential mimic of the antioxidant selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx), is a potential chemopreventative for various diseases associated with oxidative stress. Density-functional theory (DFT) and solvent-assisted proton exchange (SAPE) are used to model the complex mechanism for scavenging of reactive oxygen species by 1 ...

Sodium Channel Gating: Models, Mimics, and Modifiers

Annual Review of Biophysics and Bioengineering, 1983
Springing from work utilizing numerous preparations and varied bio­ chemical and electrophysiological approaches, a small flood of articles, reviewing diverse studies on sodium channels, has appeared in the last few years (6, 22, 29, 3 1, 37, 77, 138, 139, 170, 174).

Development of a model to mimic pleural space mechanics

Technology and Health Care, 2013
Background: A simulator of the respiratory system which includes the pleural space is currently lacking. However, such mechanical models are essential to develop and test new medical devices regulating the pressure in the pleural space. Objective: It was the aim of this study to develop a model which mimics the pleural space.

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR PREDATION ON BATESIAN MIMICS

Journal of Biological Systems, 2008
In this paper, a mathematical model of random encounters between a predator and two types of prey is presented. One type of prey (model) is noxious to the predator whilst the other is palatable (mimic). The mimics resemble the models in appearance so as to derive some protection from the predator who must avoid the unpalatable models.

Modeling copper-containing enzyme mimics [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM, 2003
The ligands in the active centre of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase was replaced with smaller and simpler ones, but still preserving the catalytically most important features of the original ones. The structure of the bare complex and that of the covalently grafted one was modeled by ab initio quantum chemical method.

Young diabetics' compliance in the framework of the mimic model

Journal of Advanced Nursing, 1996
The compliance of 346 young diabetics aged 13–17 years with health regimens is analysed in the framework of a MIMIC (multiple indicators, multiple causes) model The data were compiled by means of a questionnaire on compliance, conditions for compliance, the meaning attached to treatment and the impact of the disease, and the model constructed using the

MIMIC models, formative indicators and the joys of research

AMS Review, 2013
The use of MIMIC models in formative measurement is revisited in light of recent criticism concerning their validity. Specifically, the conventional MIMIC model is compared to alternative specifications recently suggested in the literature and issues relating to replacing formative latent variables with composites, predefining rather than estimating ...

Enzyme Mechanisms, Models, and Mimics

Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English, 1996
Abstract“One of the great intellectual challenges presented to Science by Nature is a proper understanding of how enzymes work. At one level we can ‘explain’ enzyme catalysis—what an enzyme does is bind, and thus stabilize, selectively the transition state for a particular reaction.A. R.
