  • Perseptions of employability, skills and individual aspiration in a diversifying economy 
    Ruby, Alan (2015)
    Employability is a relatively new concept. The notion that post school educational institutions should play some role in preparing young people for employment really only came into focus as participation increased and the ...
  • Pharmacoeconomic analysis of type 2 diabetes mellitus by vildagliptin medication in Kazakhstan 
    Yelekenova, A.; Bektur, C.; Nurgozhin, T. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)

  • Photonic crystal structures to control light on a nanoscale 
    Tikhonov, A.; Rakhmetova, A.; Koshkinbayeva, A. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    A new waveguiding effect in photonic crystals has been discovered. It will be useful for harvesting light for solar energy photovoltaic. We have found that incident light can be efficiently concentrated and redirected along ...
  • Photons as signature for dark matter and dark energy: The Cast experiment at CERN 
    Hoffmann, D. H. H. (21st International Symposium on Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion. Autonomous Organization of Education “Nazarbayev University”, 2016-07-18)
    The CAST experiment is designed to search for solar axions which are produced in the dense plasma the interior of the sun via the Primakoff effect. Detection of axions and their energy spectrum will immediately reveal ...
  • Photovoltaic in urban area: energy for smart cities 
    Rudel, Roman (SUPSI, 2017-06)
  • PI4,5P2 regulates the polarized trafficking of integrins through EXO70 for directional cell migration 
    Jaguparov, A.; Tursynbay, Y.; Kim, A.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    The polarized delivery of integrin adhesion molecules to the leading edge is required for cell migration and has been linked to cancer cell invasion, cancer aggressiveness, and poor patient outcome (1,2). Thus, regulators ...
  • PIPK1a regulates RAC1 and akt activation to promote cell migration and proliferation 
    Merzhakupova, D.; Adilgozhina, G.; Kim, A.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    Rac1 activity is concentrated at the front of migrating cells where it initiates signaling processes necessary for cell migration in normal and pathological situations. The signaling pathways downstream of Rac1 are well ...
  • PIPK1b regulates E-cadherin endocytosis in polarized breast cancer cells and promotes a switch to a migratory phenotype 
    Azhunussova, A.; Shayakhmetov, Y.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    The endocytosis, degradation, and recycling of cadherins is crucial for the dynamic regulation of adherens junctions and the control of cell-cell adhesion during tissue formation and in many pathological conditions. In ...
  • 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 ...
