(2014-11-06)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThe TGF-â ligand Nodal is a key regulator of body axis formation and patterning in the developing vertebrate embryo. How the Nodal signaling pathway is activated and regulated, and how precise spatiotemporal control of ...
-
(2018-09-18)Department: NeuroscienceStress contributes to numerous psychiatric disorders. CRF signaling in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) drives negative affective behaviors, thus agents that decrease activity of these cells may be of therapeutic ...
-
(International Journal Of Environmental Research And Public Health, 2022-12-12)In the National Cooperative Extension System (herein: Extension), state-level specialists serve as key intermediaries between research, educators, and the community members they serve. There is a need to understand information ...
-
(2017)This is the data that accompanies the paper titled, "Dissipation of stop-and-go waves via control of autonomous vehicles: experimental results" and includes all the data and code to generate all the figures that appeared ...
-
(2006-04-12)Department: PsychologyThe oculomotor readiness premotor theory of attention states that shifting visual attention corresponds to preparing a saccade. Contributing to both saccade production and the allocation of visual attention, the frontal ...
-
(2011-07-20)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesThe brittlestar, Ophionotus victoriae, is the third most abundant epifaunal animal in Explorers Cove (EC; mouth of Taylor Valley). However its ossicles, composed of high-Mg calcite, rarely occur in either short cores of ...

(ACS Omega, 2019-04)(1R,10bR)-1'-((R) - 1,2- Dihydroxyethyl) -1-hydrox-8,9-dmiethoxy1,5,6,10b-tetrahydropyrrolo [2,1-a]-isoquinolin-3(2H)-one, an analogue of (-)-crispine A, with three stereogenic centers is synthesized and its absolute ...
-
(2011-08-17)Department: Microbiology and ImmunologyIn metazoans, developmentally regulated genes depend upon cis-regulatory elements for cell-type specific and heritable transcription. By employing a BAC transgenic system, I demonstrate the function of the noncoding region ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2019-03-15)Gestalt principles of grouping have been widely studied in diagrammatic reasoning because diagrams that follow these principles are easier to understand than those that are not (Lemon et al 2007, Stieff 2007, Novick and ...
-
(2014-04-29)Department: Biomedical EngineeringBackscattering Interferometry (BSI) has been used to detect bio-molecular interactions by measuring shifts in the bulk refractive index of a sample due to conformational changes of the interacting species. BSI has the ...
-
(2006-07-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringIn this dissertation, distributed control with sensor networks is used to suppress beam vibrations. The distributed active vibration control strategy has the advantages of being scalable and fault-tolerant for use in ...
-
(2010-06-08)Department: Computer ScienceAnalysts, scientist, engineers, and multimedia professionals require massive processing power to analyze financial trends, create test simulations, model climate, compile code, render video, decode genomes and other complex ...
-
(2005-08-10)Department: Mechanical EngineeringMany research initiatives are currently underway to improve the performance of thermoelectric coolers (TECs). The primary drawback of TECs is their inefficiency. Most of the ongoing research concentrates on various ...
-
(2009-08-04)Department: Computer ScienceEarly detection and isolation of faults is crucial for ensuring system safety and efficiency. Online diagnosis schemes are usually integrated with fault adaptive control schemes to mitigate these fault effects, and avoid ...
-
(2010-03-23)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis project is aimed at developing a system allowing Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) to perform distributed tasks within a fault-tolerant context, called the Distributed Apt Resource Transference System (DARTS). By creating ...
-
(Journal of Legal Analysis, 2021)As consolidated multidistrict litigation has come to dominate the federal civil docket, the problem of how to divide attorney fees among participating firms has become the source of frequent and protracted litigation. For ...
