Secondhand smoke in waterpipe tobacco venues in Istanbul Moscow and Cairo
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019)
Objective: The prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking has risen in recent decades. Controlled studies suggest that waterpipe secondhand smoke (SHS) contains similar or greater quantities of toxicants than cigarette SHS ...
Human dopamine transporter: the first implementation of a combined in silico/in vitro approach revealing the substrate and inhibitor specificities
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2019)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopamine-generating neurons in the substantia nigra and corpus striatum. Current treatments alleviate PD symptoms rather than exerting neuroprotective effect on ...
Coordinated Electric Vehicle Charging With Reactive Power Support to Distribution Grids
(IEEE, 2019)
We develop hierarchical coordination frameworks to optimally manage active and reactive power dispatch of number of spatially distributed electric vehicles (EVs) incorporating distribution grid level constraints. The ...
A Farewell to King Coal: Geopolitics, Energy Security, and the Transition to Oil, 1898–1917
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019)
Interest in energy transitions has accelerated in recent years due to rising concerns about global warming and resource scarcity but the drivers of these phenomena are not well understood. To date scholars have primarily ...
Examining the stability of binding modes of the co-crystallized inhibitors of human HDAC8 by molecular dynamics simulation
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2019)
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) 8 has been implicated as a potential therapeutic target in a variety of cancers neurodegenerative disorders metabolic dysregulation and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Several nonselective ...
Determinants of Investment in Turkey: A Firm-Level Investigation
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019)
In this article we analyze the financing constraints-investment link for the case of Turkey between 1996 and 2013. As different from the existing studies on Turkey we use a more comprehensive data set that includes both ...
Effects of GNP addition on optical properties and band gap energies of PMMA films
(Wiley, 2019)
In this study the effects of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) doping on the optical parameters (absorption coefficient alpha and extinction coefficient k) and the optical transition energies (optical band gap and Urbach energies) ...
Intrinsic Dynamics and Causality in Correlated Motions Unraveled in Two Distinct Inactive States of Human beta(2)-Adrenergic Receptor
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019)
The alternative inactive state of the human beta(2)-adrenergic receptor originally exposed in molecular dynamics simulations was investigated using various analysis tools to evaluate causality between correlated residue-pair ...
Ligand-binding affinity of alternative conformers of human beta(2)-adrenergic receptor in the presence of intracellular loop 3 (ICL3) and their potential use in virtual screening studies
(Wiley, 2019)
This study investigates the structural distinctiveness of orthosteric ligand-binding sites of several human beta(2) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)-AR) conformations that have been obtained from a set of independent molecular ...
QoS-Constrained Semi-Persistent Scheduling of Machine-Type Communications in Cellular Networks
(IEEE, 2019)
The dramatic growth of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in cellular networks brings the challenge of satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of a large number of M2M devices with limited radio resources. ...
