Reciprocal Empowerment Through Remote Service Learning
Birgit Phillips
Jan 01, 0001
This chapter presents a novel pedagogical approach of “remote service learning” (RSL), which was applied in an undergraduate health degree program at an Austrian university. Remote service learning is a form of active blended...

How do banks respond to increased funding uncertainty?
This paper presents a simple model of risk-averse banks that face uncertainty over funding conditions in the money market. It shows that increased funding uncertainty: (i) creates risk-based loan-deposit synergies, (ii) often...
Vehicle routing and location routing with intermediate stops
This paper reviews the literature on vehicle routing problems and location rout-8 ing problems with intermediate stops. We classify publications into different categories from both an application-based perspective and a...
Integrated planning for electric commercial vehicle fleets
Electric commercial vehicles can contribute significantly to sustainable transportation. However, they are still perceived as being less economically viable than internal combustion engine vehicles. To this end, we analyze...
Not-for-profit supply chains for product take-back
The extant literature in the field of reverse logistics has paid scant attention to take-back supply chains that are not aimed at making a profit. We attempt to flesh out this knowledge by highlighting how the processes of core...
Inferring exemplar discriminability in brain representations.
Representational distinctions within categories are important in all perceptual modalities and also in cognitive and motor representations. Recent pattern-information studies of brain activity have used condition-rich designs to...

Neuronal population codes are increasingly being investigated with multivariate pattern-information analyses. A key challenge is to use measured brain-activity patterns to test computational models of brain information...
Molecular insights into the powerful mucus-based adhesion of limpets (Patella vulgata L.).
Limpets (Patella vulgata L.) are renowned for their powerful attachments to rocks on wave-swept seashores. Unlike adult barnacles and mussels, limpets do not adhere permanently; instead, they repeatedly transition between...
Automated Markov state models for molecular dynamics simulations of aggregation and self-assembly.
Markov state models have become popular in the computational biochemistry and biophysics communities as a technique for identifying stationary and kinetic information of protein dynamics from molecular dynamics simulation data....
Psychophysiological reactivity, coping behaviour and intrusive memories upon multisensory Virtual Reality and Script-Driven Imagery analogue trauma
Tina Schweizer, Fritz Renner, Dali Sun, Birgit Kleim, Emily A Holmes, Brunna Tuschen-Caffier

To kill or to be killed
Erwin Tantoso, Birgit Eisenhaber, Miles Kirsch, Vladimir Shitov, Zhiya Zhao, Frank Eisenhaber
Jul 17, 2022
BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been one of the most studied model organisms in the history of life sciences. Initially thought just to be commensal bacteria, E. coli has shown wide phenotypic diversity including...
Arf1/COPI machinery acts directly on lipid droplets and enables their connection to the ER for protein targeting.
Florian Wilfling, Abdou Rachid Thiam, Maria-Jesus Olarte, Jing Wang, Rainer Beck, Travis J Gould, Edward S Allgeyer, Frederic Pincet, Jörg Bewersdorf, Robert V Farese, Tobias C Walther

Evaluating the provision of paediatric liaison psychiatry services in England.
Declan Hines, Tamsin Ford, Sophie Westwood, Jessica R Barrett, Birgit Westphal, Virginia Davies, William Lee
Mar 03, 2023
BACKGROUND: Liaison psychiatry provision for children and young people in England is poorly evaluated. AIMS: We sought to evaluate paediatric liaison psychiatry provision and develop recommendations to improve practice. METHOD...
C-mannosylation supports folding and enhances stability of thrombospondin repeats.
Aleksandra Shcherbakova, Matthias Preller, Manuel H Taft, Jordi Pujols, Salvador Ventura, Birgit Tiemann, Falk Fr Buettner, Hans Bakker
Jan 11, 2020
Previous studies demonstrated importance of C-mannosylation for efficient protein secretion. To study its impact on protein folding and stability, we analyzed both C-mannosylated and non-C-mannosylated thrombospondin type 1...

Remobilization of dormant carbon from Siberian-Arctic permafrost during three past warming events.
Jannik Martens, Birgit Wild, Francesco Muschitiello, Matt O'Regan, Martin Jakobsson, Igor Semiletov, Oleg V Dudarev, Örjan Gustafsson
Oct 20, 2020
Carbon cycle models suggest that past warming events in the Arctic may have caused large-scale permafrost thaw and carbon remobilization, thus affecting atmospheric CO2 levels. However, observational records are sparse...
