The ternary subspace and symmetric part of an operator space

Kaneda, M. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

In 2003, V. I. Paulsen and I denned the ternary subspace of an operator space as the intersection of the space and the adjoint of its quasi-multiplier space. Recently, M. Neal and B. Russo defined the completely symmetric ...
Comparison of the relative merits of the 3-5 um and the 8-12 um wavebands using detected thermal contrast

Stewart, S. M.; Johnson, R. B. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

When detected thermal contrast is used as the thermal figure of merit the 3-5 um waveband is found to give the better performance for both thermal and quantum detectors.
Developing high resolution remote sensing technology into an advanced knowledge management system to monitor and assess water resources

Kaskina, D.; Bradshaw, R. A.; James, A.; Kho, Y. H.; Kabiyeva, M. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

Implementing and optimizing the operation of membrane bioreactors for petroleum wastewater treatment

Inglezakis, V.; Fatone, F.; Loizidou, M.; Omirkhan, A.; Seidakhmetov, T.; Nauruzbayeva, J.; Maktayeva, Zh. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

In the recent Kazakhstan Upstream Oil and Gas Technology and R&D Roadmap, water management has been recognized one of the fifteen main challenges that must be dealt with. This roadmap mentions that chemical processes are ...
Tunable photonic oscillators

Kovanis, V. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

Limit Cycle oscillators are used to model a broad range of periodic nonlinear phenomena. Using the optically injected semiconductor oscillator as a paradigm, we have demonstrated that at specific islands in the optical ...
All-at-once multilevel interation for BI-harmonic system

Erlangga, Y. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

The iterative method converges at a rate that is independent of the mesh size. The rate of convergence is comparable to that of multigrid, but is achieved with simpler components.
Preparation of anti-idiotypic antibodies for the diagnosis of bovine leukemia

Shramko, A.; Kiyan, V.; Borovikov, S. N. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

The basic components of the diagnostic test systems are antigens and specific antibodies. The main objective of developing express tests for the diagnosis of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is to obtain a virus antigen drug, ...
Brain inspired computing networks for smart building monitoring

Dorzhigulov, A. Z.; Bakir, D. S.; James, A. P. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

The intelligent sensor systems capable of measuring a wide range of building conditions remotely, and in a real-time manner can reveal useful information on the overall quality of services offered in the maintenance and ...
PIPK1b regulates integrin endocytosis for focal adhesion disassembly by modulating the recruitment of the endocytic machinery to focal adhesions

Beisekenova, S.; Ospanova, B.; Kabdullayeva, T.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

Cell migration and tissue invasion during tumor metastasis require the regulated disassembly of focal adhesions, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. We previously showed that the turnover of focal adhesions ...
