M2 of the influenza virus is an intriguing transmembrane protein that forms a minuscule proton channel in the viral envelope. Its recognized function is to equilibrate pH across the viral membrane during cell entry and across the trans-Golgi membrane of infected cells during viral maturation. It is vital for viral replication and it is a target for the anti-influenza drugs, amantadine and riman...

This document provides an overview of the progress made with my research into the introduction of innovation between May and September 2008. It continues where the first milestone [49] left off and discusses first the methodical advances regarding Grounded Theory methodology. Second, it presents the first set of results regarding the introduction of innovation such as the concepts of hosting, p...

With the widespread use of mobile systems, there is a growing demand for apps that can enable users to collaboratively use multiple mobile systems, including hardware device features such as cameras, displays, speakers, microphones, sensors, and input. We present M2, a system for multi-mobile computing by enabling remote sharing and combining of devices across multiple mobile systems. M2 levera...

Using results on Hadamard difference sets, we construct regular graphical Hadamard matrices of negative type of order 4m4 for every positive integerm. Ifm > 1, such a Hadamard matrix is equivalent to a strongly regular graph with parameters (4m4, 2m4 + m2,m4 + m2,m4 + m2). Strongly regular graphs with these parameters have been called max energy graphs, because they have maximal energy (as defi...
