(Vanderbilt University. Medical Center, 2007-07-06)
-
(2021-05-10)Department: BiochemistryUpon pathogen detection, the innate immune system triggers signaling events leading to upregulation of pro-inflammatory and anti-microbial mRNA transcripts. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interact with these critical mRNAs ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2009)Empirical results obtained from the 2000 Census elderly migration data using a general gravity model of migration flows confirm earlier findings of the `same sign problem' in the literature, which means that the elderly ...
-
(Tennessee Law Review, 2008)Tennessee's merit system for selecting judges - referred to as the Tennessee Plan - has been controversial ever since it was enacted in 1971 to replace contested elections. The greatest controversy has been whether the ...
-
(Oxford University Presshttp://www.oup.com/us/, 1991)"Scholars have devoted a good deal of attention to studying changes in how the public evaluates the Democratic and Republican parties. However, there have been few attempts to examine the underlying components of the changes ...
-
(Michigan Law Review, 2002)The Essay uses three recent books - two by a historians and one by an economist - to address the electric power deregulation fiasco in the U.S. It argues that public law has an important role to play in deregulated markets. ...
-
(San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law, 2014)"Resource shuffling" occurs when different subnational approaches to carbon regulation create variations in the costs of production across jurisdictions. California is the most aggressive jurisdiction in the United States ...
-
(2016-08-11)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesVocal fold paralysis (VFP) that results from injury to motor axons in the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a common clinical problem. In the majority of these patients, misdirected regeneration of neural fibers in the ...
-
(Nanophotonics, 2019-08)A periodic metagate is designed on top of a boron nitride-graphene heterostructure to modulate the local carrier density distribution on the monolayer graphene. This causes the bandgaps of graphene surface plasmon polaritons ...
-
(2009-12-07)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceElectro-osmotic (EO) pumps directly convert electrical energy into fluids’ kinetic energy, which have many advantages such as a simple and compact structure, no mechanical moving parts, and easy integration. In general, ...
-
(2006-06-01)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceSingle-event burnout in power diodes is studied using coupled electro-thermal simulations. A two-dimensional rectangular diode structure is designed and steady-state electrical characteristics are simulated. Single-event ...
-
(2013-02-07)Department: ChemistryThe increase in demand for energy has made Photosystem I (PSI), which can convert solar energy into a charge separation with an incredible efficiency, a topic of great research interest. By analyzing the PSI energy conversion ...
-
(2016-04-11)Department: ChemistryNew technologies for model biological systems aid in drug development and toxicology by providing an in vitro environment that closely mimics in vivo conditions but require new instrumentation to meet needs in monitoring ...
-
(2009-04-10)Department: ChemistryThe past decade has witnessed the birth of the field of Metabolomics, which aims to study the "chemical fingerprints" left behind by specific cellular processes. The chemical fingerprints themselves consist of the totality ...
-
(2020-05-19)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceThe advent of the lithium ion battery enabled a revolution in wireless electronic devices. The next wave of wireless devices, from smart watches to biosensors, are smaller, and often embedded within existing infrastructures ...
-
(2022-03-25)Department: ChemistryElectrochemical mediators, redox-active compounds used as electron transfer shuttles, are required for various electrochemical applications such as fuel or photovoltaic cells and biosensors. Biosensors, in particular, ...
-
(2017-10-03)Department: Mechanical EngineeringMetamaterials, which derive their optical properties from subwavelength structures, have emerged in recent years as a promising way to tune refractive index and achieve optical properties not present in natural materials. ...
