Maximal Intensity Higher-Order Breathers of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation on Different Backgrounds
(2017-04-27)
In this work, we present fully periodic breathers of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) on both constant and elliptical dn-function backgrounds. The breathers can be generated under two conditions 1) the periods of ...
Prospective Mechanisms of Pyrite Oxidation in Anoxygenic Environments Analyzed by the Ferrozine Assay
(2017-05-03)
Pyrite survived extensive redox weathering in the Archean (4.0-2.5 Ga) due to lack of readily available atmospheric oxygen in coastal, shallow-water environments. However, instances of oxidized detrital pyrite are still ...
Income, Wealth, and Charitable Giving
(2017-04-27)
Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we will study the relationship between charitable giving and income. We will use the data from years 2001 to 2013 to study the relationship between giving and income within ...
Retrograde Mapping of Inputs to Direct-and Indirect-pathway Neurons in the Posterior Dorsomedial Striatum
(2017-04-24)
The dorsomedial striatum (DMS) is crucial for goal-directed learning and heavily implicated in drug and alcohol addiction. The posterior DMS (pDMS) receives multiple inputs and contains medium spiny neurons (MSNs) expressing ...
James Joyce's Ulysses: The Ephemerality of Style in "Oxen of the Sun"
(2017-04-24)
In the “Oxen of the Sun” episode, Joyce’s manuscripts reveal a systematic appropriation from canonical texts to produce a profile of style as gestation. Focusing on his adaptations from Sir Thomas Malory in the construction ...
A Top Predator Returns: Effects of the Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi) on Snake Species in Southern Alabama
(2017-04-24)
Increasing focus has been placed on snakes and their role in the ecosystem. As a key predator in longleaf pine ecosystems, the eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi) feeds on a variety of taxa, but recent studies have ...
Effects of Radiation, Diet, and Microgravity on Colonocyte Gene Expression
(2017-05-25)
Recent progress has been made in understanding the physiological responses to conditions prevalent in the space flight environment, including radiation source, duration of radiation exposure, weightlessness, and diet. The ...
Using Optical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter to Discriminate Sewage Treatment Effluents from Runoff in Santa Monica Bay, California
(2017-04-24)
The Hyperion Treatment Plant (HTP) located off Santa Monica Bay is the largest sewage treatment facility in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. In order to perform necessary repairs chlorinated secondary-treated effluents ...
E-MAP Directed Analysis of Effector Protein Function in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(2017-04-27)
Six effector proteins of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium - SseC, SseG, SseI, SseK1, SteB, and SopD - were studied in order to determine their molecular contributions to virulence. Data collected from a high-throughput ...
A General-Purpose Approach to Temporal Event Ontology Creation
(2017-04-25)
One of the major challenges for modern data scientists is providing structure to data. Textual data is especially difficult to interpret and categorize. Much of the meaning found in this natural language data, like news ...
