Effects of Zinc Binding on the Structure and Stability of Glycylglycine Dipeptide: A Computational Study by Mohammad T. Baei, S. Zahra Sayyad-Alangi

“…In this method, the most stable complex was zinc cation bound to the two oxygen sites of the glycylglycine zwitterion and acted as a bidentate ligand. The vibrational frequencies, thermodynamic and electronic properties, HOMO, LUMO, and energy gap for the most stable isomer in different solvents were calculated at the BLYP/6-311++G** level of theory.…”

Communal discernment in the early church by Pieter G. R. de Villiers

“… This article investigates the often-neglected communal dimension of discernment by focusing on the way in which the early church responded to the controversy about the circumcision for gentiles in Acts 15. It analyses how discernment takes place mostly in times of ambiguity and crisis in which a faith community is challenged to seek the divine will. …”

Cinquante ans après : mémoire oweniste et chartiste du roman radical des années 1790 by Marion Leclair

“…Countering the idea that these novels were forgotten in the radical, essentially theoretical canon that crystallized in the early nineteenth century and fed the subsequent waves of radicalism before and after the Great Reform Act of 1832, it shows the persistence of certain novels, notably William Godwin’s Caleb Williams (1794) and Mary Wollstonecraft's Maria; or, The Wrongs of Woman (1798), as recommended reading in the Owenist and Chartist press, and/or as a source of thematic and formal inspiration for the now massively serialized political fiction developed by authors such as Ernest Jones (Woman's Wrongs) Thomas Wheeler (Sunshine and Shadow) and George W. …”

Cormac McCarthy’s Aesthet(h)ics of the “Canal-Rhizome” in Suttree by Marie-Agnès Gay

“…Close textual analysis reveals that, in parallel to his hero’s embracing of social liminality in rebellion to his father’s conservative value system based on law and order, McCarthy makes the ethical choice of “pass-words” over “order-words,” of transforming “compositions of order” into “components of passage,” a militant act of literary commitment. Moreover, the essay contends that the text’s aesthetic choice of liminal forms is also meant to enable the reader to share the hero’s metaphysical experience of the mysteries of death-in-life.…”

Detection of selfish nodes based on credit mechanism in opportunistic networks by Zuo-yong TANG, Yi-jia YUAN, Yong-qiang DONG, Guo-xin WU

“…The existence of selfish nodes seriously affects the routing performance of opportunistic networks(OppNet).To protect the OppNet against the nodes’ selfish behavior,a credit-based selfish nodes detection mechanism was proposed to make it possible to keep away from such nodes during the process of message forwarding.The mechanism leverages 2-ACK messages to observe the nodes’behavior.Then the credit value was calculated based on the observation information and accordingly acts as the metric to distinguish the selfish nodes.Simulation results show that,when coupled with various routing algorithms,the mechanism could detect selfish nodes out accurately,and improve network performance effectively in terms of delivery rate and traffic load.…”

Balanced energy-efficient routing algorithm based on smart antenna and dynamic virtual cluster by Qing-song HU, Li-xin WU, Shen ZHANG, En-jie DING

“…An energy-efficient and energy-consumption-balanced routing,named SaDVC-Routing,was put forward for WSN.The algorithm constructs virtual clusters based on assistant relays in the area of smart antenna beams,and then selects the node with maximum relay weight from the cluster to act as routing relay.With the help of energy consumption and nodes distance information,SaDVC-Routing can dynamically update the virtual clusters with beam expanding.If the beam width exceeds the threshold,a routing request is re-broadcasted based on weighted distance matrix.According to the simulation,it was found that this algorithm could not only decrease the energy consumption,but also get consumption balance between nodes in the local and global area.…”
