Casimir effect. Zero-point field. Electric conductivity. Quantum electrodynamics.
The Casimir force arises from an alteration of boundary condition in vacuum and is often regarded as a manifestation of quantum zero point energy. Considerable progress has been made in the last decade with an impressive achievement of experimental...
Soccer Teams Freshman, 1960; Class of 1964; Front row: Clark, L. A.; Sieminski, T. H.; O'Connell, P. R., Jr.; Fitzhugh, W. W., III (Captain); Bebris, I.; Chilcote, L. A., Jr.; Mellon, S. P.; Back row: Oakes, A., III '56 (Coach); Barr, L. C.; Clay,...
Sex determination in C. elegans leads to the development of sex-specific structures and contributes to the regulation of sexually dimorphic programmed cell death. A search for factors that regulate the sexually dimorphic cell death of the...
Arctic soils in the permafrost region store substantially more carbon than is contained in the atmosphere, and are undergoing rapid change associated with anthropogenic climate change. Soil decomposition is an important component of ecosystem...
A fiber can transmit around 25 Tbit/s, but electronic signal processing today is performed at much slower speeds, usually 1-10 Gbit/s. To avoid this "bottleneck" in optical fiber communication systems, all signal processing will have to be done...
The research presented in this thesis tested the hypothesis that uterine epithelial cells (UEC) are selectively responsive to bacteria and pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP) and that responses are influenced by estradiol (E 2 ). We...
This thesis describes the synthetic study of two biologically related natural products: porphobilinogen (PBG) and cobyric acid. PBG is the key intermediate in the biosynthesis of all naturally occurring tetrapyrrolic 'pigments of life', including...
Circadian rhythms in a wide variety of cellular and metabolic processes are well documented in many organisms. An important step in understanding the molecular basis of the circadian clock is the characterization of clock-controlled genes. mRNA...
Plant genetic engineering. ; Plants -- Effect of cadmium on. ; Cadmium -- Physiological transport.
Iron plays a central role in key biological processes in both plants and animals. Lack of available iron commonly limits plant growth and nutritional value. Worldwide, dietary iron is primarily obtained from plant sources and, despite our best...
RUNX1 is a transcription factor regulating hematopoietic development. Study of the RUNX1 structure revealed two functional domains. The runt domain binds DNA and mediates interaction with CBFß. Sequences C terminal to the runt domain form the...
Core-binding factors (CBFs) are a small family of transcription factors that play important roles in several developmental processes and in human disease. CBFs consist of CBFα (Runx1, Runx2, or Runx3) and CBFβ. The CBFα subunit binds DNA in a...
Core binding factor (CBF) is a heterodimeric transcription factor that is essential for a number of developmental process including hemotopoiesis and bone development. CBFs contain a DNA-binding CBFα. subunit and a non-DNA binding CBFß. subunit...
Core binding factors are heterodimeric transcription factors involved in diverse developmental processes. They consist of a DNA binding Runx subunit and a non-DNA binding CBFβ sub-unit. Runx proteins are encoded by three genes: Runx1, Runx2 , and...
Rufous-crowned sparrow -- Effect of habitat modification on. ; Rufous-crowned sparrow -- California Southern. ; Fragmented landscapes -- California.
The Rufous-crowned Sparrow (Aimophila ruficeps ; RCSP) is a non-migratory, ground-nesting songbird that resides in southern California coastal sage scrub, which has been highly fragmented by urban development. RCSP's spatial pattern of abundance...
