CHARACTERIZING FORAGING PATTERNS AMONG CATTLE AND BONDED AND NON-BONDED SMALL RUMINANTS USING SPATIAL POINT PROCESS TECHNIQUES

Semi-flexible hydrogen-bonded and non-hydrogen bonded lattice polymers

We investigate the addition of stiffness to the lattice model of hydrogen-bonded polymers in two and three dimensions. We find that, in contrast to polymers that interact via a homogeneous short-range interaction, the collapse transition is unchanged by any amount of stiffness: this supports the physical argument that hydrogen bonding already introduces an effective stiffness. Contrary to possi...

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...

Techniques and Procedures for Bonded Concrete Overlays

Rationalisation and visualisation of non-bonded interactions

Models of non-bonded interactions are crucial in structure-based drug design. “Standard” hydrogen bonds are well modelled through traditional molecular mechanics forcefields with their treatments of electrostatics, and functional forms, often based on abundant crystal structure data, to describe their geometries. But “non-standard” interactions for example, hydrogen bonds with carbon as the don...

Investigation of non-bonded interaction between C10H8 and B12N12 nano ring: NBO and NMR studies

To determine the non-bonded interaction energies between Naphthalene and B12N12 Nano ring in different orientations and distances, geometry of molecules with B3LYP method and 6-31g* basis set optimized. Also reactivity and stability of Naphthalene alone and in the presence B12N12 Nano ring checked. Then calculated the NBO, NMR, FREQ, NICS and muliken charge of Naphthalene atoms alone and in the...
