Purpose This paper examines the categories of property attributes that are important to UK university students in their online accommodation search. It also analyses volume information displayed regarding and explores influence some provided on attractiveness by extension, booking potential property. Design/methodology/approach The authors use data from an student listing platform – student.com...

The aim of this paper is to understand the expansion process investment into Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) in Europe by examining transformations student housing landscapes and uncovering profiles strategies key investors between 2010 2020. Using data from Real Capital Analytics, trends capital structures PBSA are identified. Investors driving these scrutinised terms their timeline...

Abstract Wheat bran (WB) was investigated as potential filler for controlling the plasticizer migration in poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate adipate) (PBSA) binary blends (with 60 wt.% of PLA and 40 PBSA). The process three different biobased biodegradable plasticizers [Triacetin (TA), acetyl tri- n -butyl citrate (ATBC) oligomeric lactic acid (OLA)] adding them at a fixed amount ...

Three sizes of hop fibers were tested at 30 wt% in PBSA biocomposites for material performance. Fibre length and size distribution found to be key factors on mechanical thermal properties natural fiber-reinforced composites.

The binding of several rubromycin-based ligands to HIV1-reverse transcriptase was analyzed using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. MM-PBSA analysis and examination of the trajectories allowed the identification of several promising compounds with predicted high affinity towards reverse transcriptase mutants which have proven resistant to current drugs. Important insights on ...

The spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health crisis. binding affinity SARS-CoV-2 (in particular receptor domain, RBD) to its angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and antibodies is great importance in understanding infectivity COVID-19 evaluating candidate therapeutic for COVID-19. In thi...

This paper reports the thermal, morphological and mechanical properties of environmentally friendly poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) PHB/poly[(butylene succinate)-co-(butylene adipate)] (PBSA) blends, prepared by melt mixing. The blends are known to be immiscible, as also confirmed thermodynamic analysis here presented. A detailed quantification crystalline amorphous...

UNLABELLED Folding free energy is an important biophysical characteristic of proteins that reflects the overall stability of the 3D structure of macromolecules. Changes in the amino acid sequence, naturally occurring or made in vitro, may affect the stability of the corresponding protein and thus could be associated with disease. Several approaches that predict the changes of the folding free e...

Protein kinase CK2, also known as casein kinase II, is related to various cellular events and is a potential target for numerous cancers. In this study, we attempted to gain more insight into the inhibition process of CK2 by a series of CX-4945 derivatives through an integrated computational study that combines molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and binding free energy calc...
