A theoretical study of factors influencing calcium-secretion couplingin a presynaptic active zone model by Amparo Gil, Virginia González-Vélez, Javier Segura, Luis Miguel Gutiérrez

“…Our study also shows thata non-cooperative kinetic binding scheme gives rise to a well defined average calcium level for release assumingthat thesame kinetic constants are considered for all the sites. Our results also suggest thatthe central value of the calcium sensitivity for release depends on the number of binding sites $N$ and the dissociation constant $K_{D}$ with a scaling law depending on $N K_{D}$.…”

The Product of Formal Innovation in Contemporary Interior Design Techniques by Muhammad JarAllah Tawfiq, Rouwaida Ra'ed Muhammad

“… The product of formal innovation has become a strategy in itself, and because the design development with a technical dimension has become a feature of human life, so the concerned institutions have been referring to this through architecture, including the interior spaces it contains, especially at the level of all materials and raw materials.Therefore, in recent years a phenomenon has emerged that is characterized by the innovation of new design techniques, as the interior designer began to realize the importance of innovation, renewal and development through aesthetic and creative data that takes into account the formation of a future vision in which factors concerned with technical development in contemporary interior design overlap, and by informing researchers about foreign design techniques .Therefore, the problem of the research study was formulated with the following question: Does the product of formal innovation have a role in contemporary interior design techniques? …”
