Structural, Functional, and Evolutionary Implications of a Histidine Moieity in Cardiac Troponin I.
(2009)
Regulation of cardiac output is mediated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that modulate the rhythmic transitions between contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole). At the level of cardiac myofilaments, the troponin ...
Search for W' --> tb in pp Collisions at
(2009)
We present a search for a narrow resonance in the tbbar mass spectrum using 1.9 fb−1 of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV recorded with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We select events with a lepton, ...
Mechanisms of Human Gene Evolution.
(2007)
“What makes us humans?” is one of the most fascinating questions in evolution. Investigating human genetic variations within the context of primates will provide valuable information about the development and function of ...
Gastrointestinal Motility Variation and Oral Drug Absorption.
(2008)
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is a physiological factor that affects oral drug absorption by controlling a drug's residence time in the GI tract. The development of an oral drug absorption model, the pulsatile emptying ...
Volatiles, Major Oxide, Trace Element and Isotope Geochemistry in the Snake River Plain and Columbia River Flood Basalts: Implications for the Evolution of a Continental Hotspot.
(2010)
It is becoming increasingly clear that volatiles, such as H2O, CO2, S, Cl, and F, play a major role in both the formation and evolution of mantle melts, and therefore, also in the formation and evolution of the Earth’s ...
Hyperbolic Rank-Rigidity and Frame Flow.
(2009)
This thesis presents a result bridging the general areas of geometry and dynamics. This rank-rigidity result shows that any compact manifold (under suitable curvature conditions) which has higher hyperbolic rank is hyperbolic. ...
Automatic Formal Verification of Control Logic in Hardware Designs
(2009)
Our work addresses the challenge of scaling pre-silicon functional verification of hardware
designs such as microprocessors and microcontrollers. These designs employ wide
datapaths and complex control logic, resulting in ...
Galois Deformation Theory for Norm Fields and its Arithmetic Applications.
(2009)
Let K be a finite extension of Q_p, and choose a uniformizer pi in K. Choose
pi_{n+1} such that pi_1:=pi and pi_{n+1}^p=pi_n, and let K_infty denote the field extension of K obtained by adjoining pi_{n+1} for all n. We ...
The Role of Lipoate Dependent Metabolism During Intracellular Growth and Pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes.
(2009)
The Gram-positive bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes replicates rapidly in the host cytosol, indicating it efficiently utilizes host-derived nutrients. The critical co-factor lipoate is one nutrient this bacterium ...
Food Web Constraints on Chinook Salmon Recruitment in a Large Lake Michigan Tributary.
(2010)
Natural reproduction of Chinook salmon now supplies half of all recruits to the Lake Michigan sport fishery but may vary greatly due to environmental variability and biotic interactions in tributary nursery areas. From ...
