E-Learning Strategies Implemented by Instructors for Individuals with Hearing Impairment.

The current study aims at exploring the strategies used by instructors to deal with e-learning of individuals with hearing impairment and identifying barriers encountered by instructors of individuals with hearing impairment through a telephonic interview. A set of validated probes was created, and a semi structured interview was conducted with 12 instructors who teach individuals with hearing impairment. The obtained data was subjected to inductive content analysis.

Computational studies on ground and excited state charge transfer properties of peptidomimetics.

Chemical modifications at various peptide positions result in peptidomimetics with unique physical and chemical properties that can be used for a range of applications. Among many peptidomimetics, ureidopeptides are interesting due to their ability to act as donor-bridge-acceptor systems through which charge transfer occurs in one direction and can be triggered by an electrochemical pulse without perturbing the nuclear position. In this regard, some UP mimetics with different chromophoric units are studied in this work to understand their role using DFT based methods.

Computational Studies on Structural, Excitation, and Charge-Transfer Properties of Ureidopeptidomimetics.

Peptides with ureido group enclosing backbones are considered peptidomimetics and are known for their higher stabilities, biocompatibilities, antibiotic, inhibitor, and charge-transduction activities. These peptidomimetics have some unique applications, which are quite different from those of natural peptides. Hence, it is imperative to appreciate their properties at a microscopic level.
