Forskning på læring viser tydelig at noen læringsstrategier er mer effektive enn andre. To spesielt effektive læringsstrategier er å hente fram fra hukommelsen gjennom for eksempel testing (retrieval practice) og fordeling av læringen over en lengre periode med jevne mellomrom (distributed practice). Forskning viser imidlertid også at studenter i liten grad er bevisste på hva som er mest effektiv ...

Explicit calculations of vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials of cyclopropane derivatives with modern DFT methods have underscored the possibility of unusually large reorganization energies (defined as the difference between vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials) of 0.5–1.0 eV for several compounds. Such is the case for ionization of the twist-bent σ-bond of trans-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene ...

Based on self-consistent field (SCF) atomic mean-field (amf) quantities, we present two simple yet computationally efficient and numerically accurate matrix-algebraic approaches to correct both scalar-relativistic and spin–orbit two-electron picture-change effects (PCEs) arising within an exact two-component (X2C) Hamiltonian framework. Both approaches, dubbed amfX2C and e(xtended)amfX2C, allow us ...

We have reported herein the data to understand the nature and number of non-covalent interactions that stabilize the structures of the thiophene clusters. In addition, we have also provided the optimized Cartesian coordinates of all the structures of the investigated thiophene clusters. Initially, the geometries have been generated using the ABCluster code which performs a global optimization to ...

Theoretical understanding of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) liquid depends on the understanding of the DMSO clusters. In this work, we provide the structures and the energetics of the DMSO clusters. The structures have been generated using ABCluster and further optimized at the MP2/aug-ccpVDZ level of theory. The final structures have been optimized at two different levels of theory: PW6B95D3/aug-ccpVDZ ...

Presented herein is a first investigation of the chemical reactivity of osmium-nitrido corroles, which are known for their unusual thermal, chemical, and photochemical stability. Elemental chlorine perchlorinates the β-positions of the triarylcorrole but leaves the OsN unit untouched. The OsN unit is also unaffected by a variety of other electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents. Upon photolysis, ...

Electrodialytic remediation is a method based on electrokinetics, in which an electric field of low intensity increases the availability of pollutants in solid waste materials. The electric field induces processes that mobilise and transport inorganic and organic pollutants. The transport of ions in the electrodialytic cell is controlled by employing ion-exchange membranes, allowing separation of ...

Uracil-DNA N-glycosylase from Atlantic cod (cUNG) shows cold-adapted features such as high catalytic efficiency, a low temperature optimum for activity and reduced thermal stability compared with its mesophilic homologue human UNG (hUNG). In order to understand the role of the enzyme–substrate interaction related to the cold-adapted properties, the structure of cUNG in complex with a bacteriophage ...

Soret-excited resonance Raman spectra (λ_ex 413.1 nm) were acquired for manganese(III) and gold(III) tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole, each as four different isotopomeric samples: natural abundance, fully pyrrole-¹⁵N-substituted, fully meso¹³C-substituted, and fully pyrrole-¹⁵N-meso¹³C-substituted. The spectra were modeled with density functional ...

The cysteine of HCD (C286) in DYRK1A is involved in disulfide bridge formation with a cysteine (C312) in the DFGSSC sequence. The purpose of this project was to investigate how the state of the disulfide bridge would affect enzyme catalytic and ligand binding properties of the protein kinase. A mutant, DYRK1A C312A, was thus designed to eliminate the disulfide bridge. The mutant was expressed and ...
