<p>"Postmarked Constellations" examines how three late-twentieth century American writers bring long historical processes into view through their use of paraliterary forms. The term paraliterary is used in this study to ...
<p>The ability of iron (Fe) to easily transition between two valence states makes it a preferred co-factor for innumerable biochemical reactions, ranging from cellular energy production, to oxygen transport, to DNA synthesis ...
<p>RNA localization provides the blueprint for compartmentalized protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Current paradigms indicate that RNAs encoding secretory and membrane proteins are recruited to the endoplasmic reticulum ...
<p>The eukaryotic genome integrity is safeguarded by the DNA damage response, which is composed of a network of signal transduction pathways that upon genotoxic stresses, arrest cell cycle progression, motivate repair ...
Several human monoclonal antibodies (hmAbs) exhibit relatively potent and broad neutralizing activity against HIV-1, but there has not been much success in using them as potential therapeutics. We have previously hypothesized ...
Ecosystem services are self- evidently important to society as natural capital
inputs into economic markets, the basis for life-support systems such as clean air, clean
water, and climate control, and are integral to ...
<p>Red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) is a valuable commercial and recreational fishery
on the Gulf of Mexico continental shelf. In recent years red snapper stocks have drastically declined presumably due to a combination ...
This research quantifies the potential environmental impacts that shale gas extraction in New York and Pennsylvania will have on New Jersey. Here we focus on three potential impacts: Delaware River water drawdown, Delaware ...
It is estimated that approximately 10 barrels of water are produced for every barrel of oil. The handling and disposal of this “produced water” represents the single greatest environmental barrier for such operations ...
<p>Ultrasound can be used for a variety of therapeutic purposes. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has progressed over the past decade to become a viable therapeutic method and is valuable as a non-invasive alternative ...
Climate change will bring about many changes to the composition of the atmosphere. In addition to the increasing threats of extreme weather events and rising sea levels, climate change may also have a negative effect on ...
Little, Mark G.; Jackson, Robert(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)
Carbon Capture and Storage may use deep saline aquifers for CO2 sequestration, but small CO2 leakage could pose a risk to overlying fresh groundwater. We performed laboratory incubations of CO2 infiltration under oxidizing ...
As many small dams exceed their structural life expectancies, dam removal is becoming a priority to safeguard aquatic ecosystems against potential failures. While this restoration tool improves habitat connectivity and ...
The sinking of thousands of ships during the Pacific Theater of World War II has blanketed the South Pacific region. These potentially polluting wrecks present a major environmental danger to the region in the form of oil ...
<p>Intermittent energy resources, including wind and solar power, continue to be rapidly added to the generation fleet domestically and abroad. The variable power of these resources introduces new levels of stochasticity ...
The Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is an ancient species with ecologically and economically vital roles in estuarine ecosystems. Most notably, the biomedical industry relies on an amoebocyte lysate in their ...
Lozier, Susan; Riser, S.C.(Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1989)
Boundary layer potential vorticity dynamics for a quasi-geostrophic, eddy-resolving general circulation ocean model are studied using both Lagrangian and Eulerian analyses. Active western boundary layers are found not only ...
Rapid development in the Potomac watershed – the conversion of forests to agricultural, suburban, and urban land — threatens water quality. Similarly, strategic land conservation can protect water quality. Inspired by ...
<p>This study examines how rabbinic texts from the land of Israel explain and respond to poverty. Through this investigation, I also analyze images of the poor in this literature, asking whether the rabbis considered poor ...
