Substituent effects on the oxidation of substituted biphenyl congeners by type II methanotroph strain CSC1
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-05)
The oxidation potential of type II groundwater methanotroph, strain CSC1, expressing soluble methane monooxygenase, was measured in the presence of 10 ortho -substituted biphenyls with varying electronics, sterics, and ...
CASA: An Efficient Automated Assignment of Protein Mainchain NMR Data Using an Ordered Tree Search Algorithm
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-12)
Rapid analysis of protein structure, interaction, and dynamics requires fast and automated assignments of 3D protein backbone triple-resonance NMR spectra. We introduce a new depth-first ordered tree search method of ...
A parameter sensitivity methodology in the context of HIV delay equation models
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2005-06)
A sensitivity methodology for nonlinear delay systems arising in one class of cellular HIV infection models is presented. Theoretical foundations for a typical sensitivity investigation and illustrative computations are given.
Fine root chemistry and decomposition in model communities of north-temperate tree species show little response to elevated atmospheric CO 2 and varying soil resource availability
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-12)
Rising atmospheric [CO 2 ] has the potential to alter soil carbon (C) cycling by increasing the content of recalcitrant constituents in plant litter, thereby decreasing rates of decomposition. Because fine root turnover ...
Extracellular Enzyme Activities and Soil Organic Matter Dynamics for Northern Hardwood Forests receiving Simulated Nitrogen Deposition
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-08)
Anthropogenic nitrogen enrichment alters decomposition processes that control the flux of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from soil organic matter (SOM) pools. To link N-driven changes in SOM to microbial responses, we measured ...
Cloning and characterization of SK2 channel from chicken short hair cells
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-06)
In the inner ear of birds, as in mammals, reptiles and amphibians, acetylcholine released from efferent neurons inhibits hair cells via activation of an apamin-sensitive, calcium-dependent potassium current. The particular ...
Genetic modifiers affecting severity of epilepsy caused by mutation of sodium channel Scn2a
(Springer-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-09)
Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channels SCN1A and SCN2A are responsible for several types of human epilepsy. Variable expressivity among family members is a common feature of these inherited epilepsies, suggesting ...
Testing population genetic structure using parametric bootstrapping and M IGRATE-N
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-05)
We present a method for investigating genetic population structure using sequence data. Our hypothesis states that the parameters most responsible for the formation of genetic structure among different populations are the ...
Elevated Atmospheric CO 2 Alters Soil Microbial Communities Associated with Trembling Aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) Roots
(Springer-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-07)
Global atmospheric CO 2 levels are expected to double within the next 50 years. To assess the effects of increased atmospheric CO 2 on soil ecosystems, cloned trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) seedlings were grown ...
