Rattling the cage and opening the door.
I share with Poulin-Dubois and with Sabbagh, Koenig and Kuhlmeier the conviction that more research is needed on the mechanisms supporting selective social learning in infants and children. However, my plea is more specific: for research that tests domain-specific hypotheses about mechanism against domain-general hypotheses derived from other fields of cognitive science. Many, but not all, of t...
متن کاملSuperconductivity and Magnetism in Silicon and Germanium Clathrates
Clathrates are materials containing closed polyhedral cages stacked to form crystalline frameworks. With Si, Ge, and Sn atoms populating these frameworks, a wide variety of electronic and vibrational properties can be produced in these materials, by substitution upon framework sites or through incorporation of ions in cage-center positions. Commonly-formed structures include the type I, type II...
متن کاملRattling ‘‘guest’’ impurities in Si and Ge clathrate semiconductors
In addition to their ground state, diamond structure, Si, Ge and Sn can form crystalline solids called clathrates. As in the diamond structure, in the clathrates, the Group IV atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated and sp covalently bonded to their neighbors. However, the clathrates contain pentagonal atomic rings and have open-framework lattices containing 20-, 24and 28-atom ‘‘cages’’. There are ...
متن کاملProtein dynamics: from rattling in a cage to structural relaxation.
We present an overview of protein dynamics based mostly on results of neutron scattering, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. We identify several major classes of protein motions on the time scale from faster than picoseconds to several microseconds, and discuss the coupling of these processes to solvent dynamics. Our analysis suggests that the microsecond bac...
متن کاملRattling the cage: computational models of chaperonin-mediated protein folding.
Chaperonins are known to maintain the stability of the proteome by facilitating the productive folding of numerous misfolded or aggregation-prone proteins and are thus essential for cell viability. Despite their established importance, the mechanism by which chaperonins facilitate protein folding remains unknown. Computer simulation techniques are now being employed to complement experimental o...
