Under physiological conditions, hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) are subject to autoxidation, leading to the formation of ferric heme proteins with weakened globular structures and resulting in the loss of the heme cofactor. To gain further insights into the role of the heme pocket in the...

We study two dimensions of complexity that may interfere with individual choice. The first one is object complexity, which corresponds to the difficulty of evaluating any given alternative in the choice set. The second dimension is composition complexity, which increases when suboptimal...

The diethylphosphonate ligand HL 1 substituted pyridylpyrrole was synthesized by treatment of 2-bromo-6-(1H'-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridine and diethylphosphite in presence of base triethylamine and catalyst Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 under refluxing toluene conditions. The HL 1 ligand was treated with...

It is important to investigate international relations at the system level because the system is the outcome of interaction among all states and trends in this system come back to affect individual states. In this study, we clearly demonstrate that the system of international relations is a...

The notion of resilience originated in the ecology literature in the modern or post-World War II era. Even so, this term has now found widespread use in the social sciences in general and in regional science in particular. Although this expansion in the use of resilience is welcome, it...

This paper provides a characterization of the dynamic interactions in the VIX complex, composed of the VIX itself, the term structure of VIX futures, and VIX ETPs. I investigate a model that summarizes the VIX futures term structure using latent factors (level, slope, and curvature) and expand...

Case complexity is central to the study of judicial politics. The dominant measures of Supreme Court case complexity use information on legal issues and provisions observed post-decision. As a result, scholars using these measures to study merits stage outcomes such as bargaining, voting,...

Rules often are complex in order to distinguish different types of behavior that may have different consequences. Greater complexity thus allows better control of behavior. But individuals may need to incur costs ex ante to determine how more complex rules apply to their contemplated conduct....

This chapter reviews recent advances in the NK modeling literature conceptualizing organizational change and innovation as a search over a complex landscape. It discusses both strengths and limitations of this perspective and delineates potential for future research directions. The key argument...
