Overall, it was found that at lower frequencies, the energy dissipation potential of silicate-grouted sandy soil is higher than that of higher frequencies. Due to validity of approximation that viscoelastic nature of the ...
Chemotherapeutic`s effects on cell speading and motility via regulation of microtubule binding proteins

Unknown author (Nazarbayev University, 2013)

Our project will test the hypothesis that MTAs will specifically regulate microtubule interactions with EB proteins, thereby regulating MT dynamics. Our strategy is to quantify MTA effects on MT structures, cell spreading ...
