Acetylation of Surface Lysine Groups of a Protein Alters the Organization and Composition of Its Crystal Contacts
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016)This paper uses crystals of bovine carbonic anhydrase (CA) and its acetylated variant to examine (i) how a large negative formal charge can be accommodated in protein-protein interfaces, (ii) why lysine residues are often ... -
The achievement of gender parity in a large astrophysics research centre
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-11-16)In Australian astronomy, women's representation remains at historic lows, despite a decade of initiatives aimed at improving the representation and support of women in astronomy and academia more generally. Drawing from ... -
Achieving a Strongly Temperature-Dependent Casimir Effect
(American Physical Society, 2010)We propose a method of achieving large temperature T sensitivity in the Casimir force that involves measuring the stable separation between dielectric objects immersed in a fluid. We study the Casimir force between slabs ... -
Achieving Budget-Balance with Vickrey-Based Payment Schemes in Exchanges
(2001)Generalized Vickrey mechanisms have received wide attention in the literature because they are efficient and strategy-proof, i.e. truthful bidding is optimal whatever the bids of other agents. However it is well-known that ... -
Achieving Escape Velocity: Neighborhood and School Interventions to Reduce Persistent Inequality
(American Economic Association, 2013)This paper reviews the evidence on the efficacy of neighborhood and school interventions in improving the long-run outcomes of children growing up in poor families. We focus on studies exploiting exogenous sources of ... -
Achieving High Throughput Ground-to-UAV Transport via Parallel Links
(IEEE, 2011)Wireless data transfer under high mobility, as found in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications, is a challenge due to varying channel quality and extended link outages. We present FlowCode, an easily deployable link-layer ... -
Achieving the Middle Ground in an Age of Concentrated Extremes: Mixed Middle-Income Neighborhoods and Emerging Adulthood
(SAGE Publications, 2015)This paper focuses on stability and change in “mixed middle-income” neighborhoods. We first analyze variation across nearly two decades for all neighborhoods in the U.S. and the Chicago area. We then analyze a new ... -
Achieving Trust without Disclosure: Dark Pools and a Role for Secrecy-Preserving Verification
(2015)Can an exchange be “dark,” so that orders are not displayed, while simultaneously trustworthy, so that the execution of trades and flow of information occur as promised? SEC actions against dark pools suggest cause for ... -
Achiral symmetry breaking and positive Gaussian modulus lead to scalloped colloidal membranes
(2017)In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like particles assemble into colloidal membranes, which are one rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers of aligned rods. Unlike 3D edgeless bilayer vesicles, ... -

Acoustic buffeting by infrasound in a low vibration facility
(AIP Publishing, 2016)Measurement instruments and fabrication tools with spatial resolution on the atomic scale require facilities that mitigate the impact of vibration sources in the environment. One approach to protection from vibration in a ... -
Acquisition and Rendering of Transparent and Refractive Objects
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2002)This paper introduces a new image-based approach to capturing and modeling highly specular, transparent, or translucent objects. We have built a system for automatically acquiring high quality graphical models of objects ... -
Acritarchs and Microfossils from the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Group, Northwestern Australia
(Paleontological Society, 1999)Three microfossil assemblages occur in the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Group (1625-1000 Ma) of northwestern Australia, each occupying a different environmental and taphonomic setting. In peritidal environments, benthic ... -
Act Versus Impact: Conservatives and Liberals Exhibit Different Structural Emphases in Moral Judgment
(Wiley, 2017-05-31)Conservatives and liberals disagree sharply on matters of morality and public policy. We propose a novel account of the psychological basis of these differences. Specifically, we find that conservatives tend to emphasize ... -
Acting for a Reason
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Starting from the debate over whether practical reasons are mental states or the facts to which those mental states are a response, this chapter argues that being motivated by a practical reason must be a reflexive form ...
