For all of the structures, the X-ray structure was in excellent agreement with results reported in the literature with mean differences in bond lengths of 0.002, 0.044 and 0.001 Å for (1), (2) and (3), respectively. Similarly, the mean differences in angles were 0.086, 0.039 and 0....
By nucleation of holes, we mean the quasi-reversible detachment of an initial number of flat monomers from a flat cluster and their random intercalation with the water molecules on top of the BLM. In other words, a hole is just a flat monomer that, upon detachment from a flat cluster, ...
In particular, DST has adopted this perspective and started to ask pertinent questions like 'why' motor development takes place, and what is it that makes the developmental process occur in the way it does [3]. Based on principles of ecological theory, DST emphasizes that motor development is...
