Laser Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the heterogeneous substructure of the large contractile protein myosin. Some peaks are assigned to specific chemical groups of the molecule; others, notably the conformationally sensitive amide III vibrations, provide information on the structurally distinct regions of the molecule. Deuteration of the NH groups is instrumental in the assignment of these...

Creativity research has suggested that creative people are low in agreeableness. To explore this issue, we applied the HEXACO model of personality structure, which offers an expanded representation of interpersonal traits, particularly a distinction between Honesty–Humility and Agreeableness. A sample of 1304 adults completed the HEXACO-60 and several measures of creative achievement and activi...

Background There are few rigorous methods for combining qualitative and quantitative findings from studies with complex interventions using multiple research methods and giving appropriate weight to each without introducing bias to the overall conclusions. We developed a Method for Aggregating The Reporting of Interventions in Complex Studies (MATRICS) for the ENIGMA study (Evaluating Innovatio...

We construct a bosonic quantum field on a general quantum graph. Consistency of the construction leads to the calculation of the total scattering matrix of the graph. This matrix is equivalent to the one already proposed using generalized star product approach. We give several examples and show how they generalize some of the scattering matrices computed in the mathematical or condensed matter ...
