Gaga, a New Fern Genus Segregated from Cheilanthes (Pteridaceae)

Li, Fay-Wei; Pryer, Kathleen M.; Windham, Michael (American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2012)

Ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies of cheilanthoid ferns confirm that the genus Cheilanthes (Pteridaceae) is polyphyletic. A monophyletic group of species within the hemionitid clade informally called the “C. marginata ...
Gait and Behavior in an IL-1-Mediated Model of Rat Knee Arthritis and Effects of an IL1 Antagonist

Allen, Kyle D.; Adams, Samuel; Mata, Brian A.; Shamji, Mohammed F.; Gouze, Elvire; Jing, Liufang; Nettles, Dana; Latt, Dr Daniel; Setton, Lori (Journal of Orthopedic Research, 2011)

Objective: Interleukin-1 beta (IL1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that mediates arthritic pathologies. Our objective was to evaluate pain and limb dysfunction resulting from IL1β over-expression in the rat knee and ...
Gasoline Prices, Government Support, and the Demand for Hybrid Vehicles in the U.S.

Beresteanu, Arie; Li, Shanjun (SSRN eLibrary, 2009)

the determinants in the demand for hybrid vehicles and examine government programs that aim to promote the adoption of these vehicles. We find that hybrid vehicle sales in 2006 would have been 37 percent lower had gasoline ...
Gauging possibilities for action based on friction underfoot

Joh, Amy S.; Adolph, KE; Narayanan, PJ; Dietz, VA (2007-10)
Gender Differences in the Risk of HIV Infection among Persons Reporting Abstinence, Monogamy, and Multiple Sexual Partners in Northern Tanzania

Landman, Keren Z.; Ostermann, Jan; Crump, John; Mayhood, Meghan K.; Tribble, Alison C.; Ndosi, Evaline M.; Chu, Helen Y.; Bartlett, John; Thielman, Nathan (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2008)

Background: Monogamy, together with abstinence, partner reduction, and condom use, is widely advocated as a key behavioral strategy to prevent HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. We examined the association between the ...
Gendered Agendas: The Secrets Scholars Keep about Yorùbá-Atlantic Religion

Matory, James Lorand (Blackwell Publishing, 2003-11-01)

Whereas scholars have often described the material interests served by any given social group's selective narration of history, this article catches scholars in the act of selectively narrating Yorùbá-Atlantic cultural ...
Gendered Agendas: the Secrets Scholars Keep about Yoruba-Atlantic Religion

Matory, JL (Wiley-Blackwell, 2004)
Gender, Male Homosexuality, and Power in Colonial Yucatan

Sigal, Peter (2002)
Gene Expression Disruptions of Organism versus Organ in Drosophila Species Hybrids

Catron, Daniel J.; Noor, Mohamed (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2008)

Hybrid dysfunctions, such as sterility, may result in part from disruptions in the regulation of gene expression. Studies of hybrids within the Drosophila simulans clade have reported genes expressed above or below the ...
Gene expression in developing fibres of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was massively altered by domestication

Flagel, Lex (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2010)

Background: Understanding the evolutionary genetics of modern crop phenotypes has a dual relevance to evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Modern upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was developed following thousands ...
Gene Expression Signatures of Radiation Response Are Specific, Durable and Accurate in Mice and Humans

Meadows, Sarah K.; Muramoto, Garrett G.; Himburg, Heather; Salter, Alice; Chao, Nelson; Chute, Dr John (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2008)

Background: Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB) gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures. Methods and Findings: We have sought to determine the ...
A Generalizable Scale of Propensity to Plan: The Long and the Short of Planning for Time and for Money

Lynch, Dr John; Spiller, Stephen A. (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2010)

Planning has pronounced effects on consumer behavior and intertemporal choice. We develop a six-item scale measuring individual differences in propensity to plan that can be adapted to different domains and used to compare ...
Generalized sampling using a compound-eye imaging system for multi-dimensional object acquisition

Choi, Kerkil; Hahn, Joonku; Brady, David (OPTICAL SOC AMER, 2010)

In this paper, we propose generalized sampling approaches for measuring a multi-dimensional object using a compact compound-eye imaging system called thin observation module by bound optics (TOMBO). This paper shows the ...
Generation of Compact Single-Detect Stuck-At Test Sets Targeting Unmodeled Defects

Kavousianos, Xrysovalantis; Chakrabarty, Krishnendu (2010-10-26)

We present a new method to generate compact stuck-at test sets that offer high defect coverage. The proposed method first selects the most effective patterns from a large N-detect pattern repository, by using a new ...
Generic Competition and Market Exclusivity Periods in Pharmaceuticals

Kyle, Margaret; Grabowski, Henry G. (2007)
Generic Competition in the U.S. Pharmaceutical Industry

Saha, A; Grabowski, Henry; Birnbaum, H; Greenberg, P; Bizan, O (2006-02)
Genetically Modified Foods and Muslim Ethics

Moosa, Ebrahim E.I. (State University of New York, 2009)

Genetically modified foods has been the subject of great controversy. How lay Muslim communities and religious experts view the technology is di.scussed in this article
Genetic Engineering of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Its Application in Human Disease Therapy

Dzau, Victor (MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2010)

The use of stem cells for tissue regeneration and repair is advancing both at the bench and bedside. Stem cells isolated from bone marrow are currently being tested for their therapeutic potential in a variety of clinical ...
