  • Quantum dynamics, chaos and thermalization 
    Fine, B.V. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    Should one investigate the detailed properties of microscopic chaos in systems of many classical particles, even though one knows that the real macroscopic systems are made of quantum particles? Should one investigate ...
  • Quasi-multiplies and algebrizations of an operator space 
    Kaneda, M. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    One of the most interesting questions in the theory of operator spaces was: What are the possible operator algebra products a given operator space can be equipped with? The author answered the question using quasi-multipliers ...
  • Rage targeted strategies for Alzheimer`s Amyloid B peptide include blood brain barrier dysfunctions 
    Askarova, Sholpan; Tsoy, A.; Lee, J.C-M. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    This study demonstrated that Aβ binding to RAGE at the CECs and astrocytes surface is required for NADPH oxidase complex assembling, resulting in subsequent ROS generation and phosphorylation of cPLA2α. Therefore, understanding ...
  • Rational design of new chemical drugs based on compounds that block the pores in cell membranes 
    Kakpenova, A.; Zhanbossinova, A.; Negmetzhanov, B.; Tauanov, Z.; Karginov, V.; Adilov, S.; Alibek, K. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
