Strongly interacting few-body systems from lattice stochastic methods
(2020-08-04)
Lattice Monte Carlo plays an important role for non-perturbative descriptions of strong interactions.
Despite its success in recent years, some fundamental challenges remain.
Two of them are investigated in this work, ...
Current flood risk management practices in Ghana: Gaps and opportunities for improving resilience
(2020-09-02)
This article evaluates the current gaps and describes opportunities for improving flood risk management (FRM) in Ghana, West Africa. A mixed-method participatory approach comprising questionnaires, workshops, interviews ...
Regenerated Hoof Keratin from 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Acetate and Insights into Disulfide-Ionic Liquid Interactions from MD Simulation
(2020-06-08)
Regeneration of the hoof keratin from ionic liquids was never successful in the past because the ionic liquids were not strong enough. However, this biomaterial starts to play a central role for the preparation of biofilms ...
Acid-Catalyzed Rearrangements of 3-Aryloxirane-2-Carboxamides: Novel DFT Mechanistic Insights
(2020-07-01)
Efficient synthesis of 3-arylquinolin-2(1H)-ones and N-(2-carboxyaryl)-oxalamides from protic acid-catalyzed rearrangements of 3-aryloxirane-2-carboxamides was achieved recently but not well understood. In contrast to the ...
Population size estimates based on the frequency of genetically assigned parent–offspring pairs within a subsample
(2020-07-24)
Estimating population density as precise as possible is a key premise for managing wild animal species. This can be a challenging task if the species in question is elusive or, due to high quantities, hard to count. We ...
Activity coefficients of binary methanol alcohol mixtures from cluster weighting
(2020-07-23)
The hydrogen bond network of different small alcohols is investigated via cluster analysis. Methanol/alcohol mixtures are studied with increasing chain length and branching of the molecule. Those changes can play an important ...
Intrasexual selection: Kin competition increases male-male territorial aggression in a monogamous cichlid fish
(2020-09-12)
During intrasexual competition, individuals of the same sex compete for access to breeding sites and mating partners, often accompanied by aggressive behavior. Kin selection theory predicts different kin-directed social ...
Design and Synthesis of A2B- and Dual-Acting A2A/A2B Adenosine Receptor Antagonists
(2020-10-27)
A2A and A2B adenosine receptors (ARs) are novel drug targets in cancer (immuno)therapy. Activation of A2AARs expressed on the surface of many immune cells such as T-lymphocytes and natural ...
Fluorescent proteins for two-photon FLIM analysis of presynaptic protein interactions
(2020-06-10)
Monitoring Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between fluorescent proteins (FPs) fused to proteins of interest is a powerful approach to study dynamic interactions of cellular proteins in living cells. The choice of ...
