Optimization of Single and Layered Surface Texturing
(2010-07-14)
In visualization problems, surface shape is often a piece of data that must be shown effectively. One factor that strongly affects shape perception is texture. For example, patterns of texture on a surface can show the ...
A MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN TRAFFICKING IN THE VERTEBRATE RETINA: IMPLICATIONS FOR INTRAFLAGELLAR TRANSPORT AND DISEASE
(2010-07-14)
Vertebrate photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that utilize a
modified cilium known as the outer segment to detect light. Proper trafficking of
proteins to the outer segment is essential for photoreceptor ...
Characterizations of Cation/H+ Antiporters from Arabidopsis and Zebrafish
(2010-07-14)
To maintain optimal cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, cells employ three distinct
strategies: 1) tightly regulated influx of Ca2+; 2) efficient efflux of Ca2+ from the cell; 3)
sequestration of Ca2+ in organelles. Ca2+efflux ...
Microtubule Patterning and Manipulation Using Electrophoresis and Self-Assembled Monolayers
(2010-07-14)
We developed new methods for controlling and studying microtubules (MTs) outside the
complex workings of the living cell. Several surface treatments for preventing MT
fouling on surfaces were analyzed and, for the first ...
Treatment Acceptability of Social Skills Programs for Children with Autism: The Influence of Ethnicity, Age, and Problem Severity
(2010-10-12)
This study compared the treatment acceptability of four social skills interventions
that are commonly used with children with autism, as rated by parents of children with
autism spectrum disorders, general education teachers, ...
Streamline Assisted Ensemble Kalman Filter - Formulation and Field Application
(2010-10-12)
The goal of any data assimilation or history matching algorithm is to enable better reservoir management decisions through the construction of reliable reservoir performance models and the assessment of the underlying ...
Model-based Pre-processing in Protein Mass Spectrometry
(2011-02-22)
The discovery of proteomic information through the use of mass spectrometry (MS) has been an active area of research in the diagnosis and prognosis of many types of cancer. This process involves feature selection through ...
Fast Algorithms for High Frequency Interconnect Modeling in VLSI Circuits and Packages
(2011-02-22)
Interconnect modeling plays an important role in design and verification of VLSI
circuits and packages. For low frequency circuits, great advances for parasitic resistance
and capacitance extraction have been achieved and ...
The Crisis of Masculine Space: the End of the Gentlemen's Club in British Modern Fiction
(2011-02-22)
At the beginning of the twentieth century, men occupied a contested and transitional space in British society. The effects of the women's movement, the Great War, and industrialization changed their life at home, at work, ...
The Function of the Lipoxygenase ZmLOX10 in Maize Interactions with Insects and Pathogens
(2011-02-22)
Lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived oxylipins are known to play critical roles in defense
against herbivores and pathogens. The objective of this study was to determine
the biochemical, molecular and physiological roles of a specific ...
