Poleward Transport of TPX2 in the Mammalian Mitotic Spindle Requires Dynein, Eg5, and Microtubule Flux

Tulu, Dr Serdar (AMER SOC CELL BIOLOGY, 2010)

TPX2 is a Ran-regulated spindle assembly factor that is required for kinetochore fiber formation and activation of the mitotic kinase Aurora A. TPX2 is enriched near spindle poles and is required near kinetochores, suggesting ...
Politics and Civil Procedure Rulemaking: Reflections on Experience

Carrington, Paul (DUKE UNIV, 2010)

This Article is a reflection on personal experience as well as an account of what has happened to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in the most recent quarter century It observes that the Supreme Court of the United ...
Politics, Memory, and Working Class Life in the Commercial Biopic Lula, Son of Brazil

French, John; Negro, AL (2011)
Polymorphisms in the ACE and ADRB2 Genes and Risks of Aging-Associated Phenotypes: The Case of Myocardial Infarction

Kulminski, Dr Alexander (MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2010)

Multiple functions of the beta2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genes warrant studies of their associations with aging-related phenotypes. We focus on multimarker analyses and analyses ...
Popular Culture, Relational History, and the Question of Power in Palestine and Israel

Stein, Rebecca L.; Swedenburg, Ted (2005)
Population ecology and shell chemistry of a phytal ostracode species (Loxoconcha matagordensis) in the Chesapeake Bay watershed

Vann, CD; Cronin, TM; Dwyer, Gary (2004-11)
Population Genetics of Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus) in the Western Arctic

Matson, Cole (ARCTIC INST N AMER, 2010)

Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) in the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas experienced a severe reduction as a result of commercial whaling in the 19th century. Since the cessation of commercial whaling, the population ...
Population Pressures, Saving, and Investment in the Third World: Some Puzzles

Kelley, Allen (The University of Chicago Press, 1988-04)

Two arguments are often made concerning the adverse impacts of rapid population growth on the rate of economic development.' The first is Malthusian in origin: a relatively "fixed" (or slow growing) resource (land, ...
Porcine Endothelial Cells Cocultured with Smooth Muscle Cells Became Procoagulant In Vitro

Pang, Zhengyu; Niklason, Laura E.; Truskey, George (MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2010)

Endothelial cell (EC) seeding represents a promising approach to provide a nonthrombogenic surface on vascular grafts. In this study, we used a porcine EC/smooth muscle cell (SMC) coculture model that was previously developed ...
A Porous Convection Model for Grass Patterns

Thompson, Sally E.; Daniels, Karen (The American Naturalist, 2010-01)

Spatial ecological patterns are usually ascribed to Turingtype reaction-diffusion or scale-dependent feedback processes, but morphologically indistinguishable patterns can be produced by instabilities in fluid flow. We ...
Portable, Fiber-Based, Diffuse Reflection Spectroscopy (DRS) Systems for Estimating Tissue Optical Properties

Vishwanath, Karthik; Chang, Kevin; Klein, Daniel; Deng, Yu; Chang, Vivide; Phelps, Janelle; Ramanujam, Nimmi (Optical Society of America, 2011-02)

Steady-state diffuse reflection spectroscopy is a well-studied optical technique that can provide a noninvasive and quantitative method for characterizing the absorption and scattering properties of biological tissues. ...
Positive and negative artifacts in particulate organic carbon measurements with denuded and undenuded sampler configurations

Subramanian, R; Khlystov, Andrey; Cabada, JC; Robinson, AL (2004)

Measurement of ambient particulate organic carbon (POC) with quartz filters is prone to positive and negative sampling artifacts. One approach for estimating these artifacts is to sample with a backup quartz filter placed ...

Post Hoc Ergo Propter Once More an Evaluation of 'Does Monetary Policy Matter?' in the Spirit of James Tobin

Hoover, Dr Kevin; Perez, Stephen J. (Journal of Monetary Economics, 1994)

Christina and David Romer’s paper ‘Does Monetary Policy Matter?’ advocates the so-called ‘narrative’ approach to causal inference. We demonstrate that this method will not sustain causal inference. First, it is impossible ...
Potent and broad neutralizing activity of a single chain antibody fragment against cell-free and cell-associated HIV-1

Montefiori, David (LANDES BIOSCIENCE, 2010)

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 ...
Potential Impacts of Leakage from Deep CO2 Geosequestration on Overlying Freshwater Aquifers

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 ...
Potential vorticity dynamics of boundary currents in a quasigeostrophic ocean.

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 ...
The Power of Policy Defaults: A Behavioral Economics View of Public School Assignment Policies & Educational Equity

Mahesh, Pavithra (2012-06-17)

The school assignment process plays a central role in shaping a student’s educational experience, which subsequently influences his or her future opportunities. Thus, school assignment policies have an impact on social ...
