Reactions of 5-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-isophthalate and metal salts provide laminar metal organic frameworks (MOFs) wherein interlayer interactions of the pendant carbazoles engender extended aromatic stacks or non-stacked structures with enhanced solid-state emission. These studies emphasize that MOFs serve as versatile supramolecular platforms to direct the aggregation and electroptical behaviours...

We introduce a method for analysing emergent behaviours in multi-agent simulations using complex events. Complex events are composed of interrelated events, and they can be defined at any level of spatio-temporal abstraction (equal to or above the lowest level of abstraction given by the model). Minimal types of complex events define sets, which are equated with particular emergent behaviours a...

Lin et al. examined the effects of lipid chains attached to N-terminal antimicrobial peptides, a type membrane-active on their membrane activity and bioactivity. The impact lipidation varied depending original peptides' hydrophobicity. By altering peptide conformations affecting self-aggregation behaviours, changed peptide-biomembrane interaction, ultimately bioactivity (e329).

the objective of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of the turkish farmers with regard to fertilizer usage. farmers in the kazova district of turkey's tokat province were interviewed regarding their soil maintenance practices. the interview was based on a standardized questionnaire the answers being recorded at the time of interview. simple random sampling method was used to d...

In this article we present the Constraint Aggregation Language (CAL), a declarative language for describing properties of stateless program components that interact by exchanging messages. CAL allows one to describe functional as well as extra-functional behaviours, such as computation latency. The CAL language intention is to be able to describe the behaviour of so-called boxes in the context ...

Similarly to their biological counterparts, suspensions of chemically-active autophoretic swimmers exhibit nontrivial dynamics involving self-organization processes as a result inter-particle interactions. Using kinetic model for dilute suspension autochemotactic Janus particles, we analyse the effect confined pressure-driven flow on these collective behaviours and impact chemotactic aggregatio...

the aim of the current investigation was to evaluate the sedentary lifestyle of the polish population and its link with prolonged sitting in light of individual and environmental factors.the sample consisted of 1505 polish people between 18 and 64 years old. the computer-assisted telephone interview (cati) survey was conducted with the polish version of international physical activity questionn...
