<p><italic>Kingella kingae</italic> is an emerging bacterial pathogen that is being recognized increasingly as an important etiology of septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and bacteremia, especially in young children. The ...
<p>A GL(2,R)-structure on a smooth manifold of dimension n+1 corresponds to a distribution of non-degenerate rational normal cones over the manifold. Such a structure is called k-integrable if there exist many foliations ...
<p>Natural steroidal estrogen hormones in swine wastes generated from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) have become a potential pollutant to many aquatic environments due to their adverse impacts on the ...
<p>Understanding the mechanisms whereby the sequence of the human genome is interpreted into diverse cellular phenotypes is a critical endeavor in modern biology. A major determinant of cellular phenotype is the spatial ...
<p>Over the next decade, it is estimated that the number of servers (virtual and physical) in enterprise datacenters will grow by a factor of 10, the amount of data managed by these datacenters will grow by a factor of 50, ...
<p>This dissertation addresses an information-driven sensor path planning problem which has various applications such as robot cleaning, environment monitoring, and manufacturing. Information-driven sensor path planning ...
<p>Speciation is a constantly ongoing process whereby reproductive isolating baririer build up over time until groups of organisms can no longer exchange genes with each other. Adaptation is thought to play a major role ...
<p>Cancer is a disease state that arises as a result of multiple alterations in signaling pathways that are critical for making key cell fate decisions in normal cells. Understanding how these pathways operate under normal ...
<p>Understanding the root molecular causes driving complex traits is a fundamental challenge in genomics and genetics. Numerous studies have used variation in gene expression to understand complex traits, but the underlying ...
<p>The value of task-related conflict to team effectiveness continues to generate controversy in organizational studies. I argue that this debate reflects as much differences in the conceptualization of conflict by scholars ...
<p>Aquatic systems are impacted by a wide variety of natural and anthropogenic stressors. Laboratory studies often focus on impacts of a single stressor, ignoring how these stressors may interact. This dissertation focuses ...
<p>The overall purpose of this longitudinal exploratory study was to describe the interactive behaviors of American Indian mothers and their prematurely born infants. The first study examined behaviors of American Indian ...
<p>At every moment in life we are receiving input from multiple sensory modalities. We are limited, however, in the amount of information we can selectively attend to and fully process at any one time. The ability to ...
<p>Mast cells, best known for their pathologic role in allergy, have recently been shown to have key roles in the initiation of adaptive immune responses. These cells are located throughout the body just beneath barriers ...
<p>Transcription regulators are proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences in order to control the expression of specific genes. Often the sequences that are bound are not identical, but contain deviations from a common ...
The Spemann organizer in amphibians gives rise to the anterior mesendoderm
(AME) and is capable of inducing neural tissues. This inductive activity is thought to
occur largely via the antagonism of Bone Morphogenetic ...
<p>Children's internalization of parental values is differentially influenced by discipline and parent-child relationship quality. Beyond simply affecting values, parents can influence the development of underlying belief ...
<p>For decades, oceanographers have hypothesized that the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) is the dominant export pathway for the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). However, more recent ...
<p>The hydrologic cycle may be described in essence as the process of water rising and falling in its various phases between land and atmosphere. In this minimal description of the hydrologic cycle two features come into ...
<p>In this study, I examine whether managers make self-serving attributions by internally (externally) attributing favorable (unfavorable) performance or demonstrate leadership by accepting blame and deflecting praise when ...
