Are People Addicted to Social Networks?
The popularity of social networking sites (SNSs) has increased rapidly. SNSs are a key part of daily life for many people around the world. The use of SNSs is already a global phenomenon. Drawing on social capital theory, this...
Cork-in-bottle mechanism of inhibitor binding to mammalian complex I.
Mitochondrial complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), a major contributor of free energy for oxidative phosphorylation, is increasingly recognized as a promising drug target for ischemia-reperfusion injury, metabolic...

Reverse Electron Transfer by Respiratory Complex I Catalyzed in a Modular Proteoliposome System.
Respiratory complex I is an essential metabolic enzyme that uses the energy from NADH oxidation and ubiquinone reduction to translocate protons across an energy transducing membrane and generate the proton motive force for ATP...

Nearest Neighbor Decoding and Pilot-AidedChannel Estimation for Fading Channels
We study the information rates of noncoherent, stationary, Gaussian, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) flat-fading channels that are achievable with nearest neighbor decoding and pilot-aided channel estimation. In...

Lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxy of IV-VI thin films on PbTe(001)
The chalcogenides of tin and lead (SnS, SnSe, SnTe, PbS, PbSe, and PbTe) have applications ranging from solar cells to thermoelectrics. Taking rocksalt structured PbTe(001) as the substrate, we explore the coherent...

Does Cloud Computing Influence Enterprise Performance?
The emergence of the cloud computing service has resulted in the entry of many companies into the market, with numerous competitors for cloud computing leading the technological trend. Recent studies have mainly focused on the...
Southeast Asian protected areas are effective in conserving forest cover and forest carbon stocks compared to unprotected areas.
Protected areas aim to conserve nature, ecosystem services, and cultural values; however, they have variable success in doing so under high development pressure. Southeast Asian protected areas faced the highest level of human...

Flexible Krylov Methods for <i>L</i><sub>p</sub> regularization
In this paper we develop flexible Krylov methods for efficiently computing regularized solutions to large-scale linear inverse problems with an `2 fit-to-data term and an `p penalization term, for p ≥ 1. First we approximate the...

Structural basis of mammalian respiratory complex I inhibition by medicinal biguanides.
The molecular mode of action of biguanides, including the drug metformin, which is widely used in the treatment of diabetes, is incompletely characterized. Here, we define the inhibitory drug-target interaction(s) of a model...

Of <i>reaflac</i> and <i>rapina</i>
Brittany Hanlon
Jan 04, 2023
This article examines the meaning and function of the Old English noun reaflac in two tenth‐century lawsuit documents, Sawyer 877 and Sawyer 1211. It suggests that reaflac was the vernacular counterpart to the Latin terms...
