Globalization and the End of Empire
(Carolina Academic Press, 2011)As Tony Hopkins has observed, the end of empire in Malaya (known as Malaysia from 1963) coincided with a profound change in the character of globalization and an acceleration in the process of its development. Increasing ... -
Globalization of Pantoja's optimal control algorithm
(Springer Nature, 2002)In 1983 Pantoja described a stagewise construction of the Newton direction for a general class of discrete time optimal control problems. His algorithm incurs amazingly low overheads: the cost (measured in target function ... -
Globalization: Managing Multinationals - a comparison of offshoring and outsourcing strategies in UK and German multinational corporations
(2015)This paper outlines research exploring differences in approach to outsourcing and offshoring by multinational corporations. In particular, a comparison is drawn between German and UK headquartered organizations in the ... -
Globular Cluster Populations: Signatures and Implications
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2003)The formation of populous secondary star cluster systems is a widespread phenomenon in mergers of gas-rich galaxies. Many, if not most, of those clusters are massive and compact enough to be young globular clusters (GCs). ... -
The globular cluster VVV CL002 falling down to the hazardous Galactic centre
(2024-03-15)Context. The Galactic centre is hazardous for stellar clusters because of the strong tidal force in action there. It is believed that many clusters were destroyed there and contributed stars to the crowded stellar field ... -
Globular clusters as probes of galaxy evolution : NGC 5128
(2004-04-21)We present the results of our analysis of the photometric data of globular clusters in the elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Cen A). We show that the integrated colour U - B can be an effective metallicity indicator for simple ... -
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Related Mental Health Issues; Insights from a Range of Social Media Platforms Using a Mixed-Methods Approach
(2023-10-24)The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs; semaglutide and others) now promises effective, non-invasive treatment of obesity for individuals with and without diabetes. Social media platforms’ ... -
GLP-1 stimulates insulin secretion by PKC-dependent TRPM4 and TRPM5 activation
(2015-12-01)Strategies aimed at mimicking or enhancing the action of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) therapeutically improve glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS); however, it is not clear whether GLP-1 ... -
Glucose stimulates somatostatin secretion in pancreatic δ-cells by cAMP-dependent intracellular Ca2+ release
(2019-09-02)Somatostatin secretion from pancreatic islet δ-cells is stimulated by elevated glucose levels, but the underlying mechanisms have only partially been elucidated. Here we show that glucose-induced somatostatin secretion ... -
Glucosinolate biosynthesis from amino acids
(CAB International, 2015-04)Glucosinolates are natural plant products that are derived from aliphatic and aromatic amino acids by certain plants. Glucosinolates may be metabolized to a variety of potentially toxic products via myrosinase-catalysed ... -
Glycopeptide antibiotic activity and the possible role of dimerization : A model for biological signaling
(1994-06-01)It is demonstrated that the presence of bacterial cell wall analogues may either enhance or, in the case of ristocetin A, oppose dimerization of glycopeptide antibiotics. These observations may imply that dimerization plays ... -
Glycoprotein inhibitors of fungal polygalacturonases

GM crops, biodiversity and the European agri-environment : Regulatory regime lacunae and revision
(2000)The introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops for commercial planting approval and importation under the European Union's (EU's) regulatory process has led to an increasingly visible political debate over the potential ... -

Goal-directed Empowerment: combining Intrinsic Motivation and Task-oriented Behaviour
(2020-12-07)Empowerment is an information-theoretic measure representing the capacity of an agent to affect its environment. It quantifies its ability to inject information in the environment via its actions and to recapture this ... -
A Goldilocks principle for modelling radial velocity noise
(2016-09-21)The doppler measurements of stars are diluted and distorted by stellar activity noise. Different choices of noise models and statistical methods have led to much controversy in the confirmation of exoplanet candidates ...
