The Effect of Deformation on Grain Boundary Wetness in Partially Molten Peridotite
(2006-07-11)
The spatial distribution of the melt phase can affect many properties of partially molten rocks, including viscosity and seismic wave velocity. A good way to quantify this distribution is the grain boundary wetness, the ...
Dynamic Monte Carlo Simulations of the Oxygen Electroreduction Reaction on a Bimetallic Surface
(2006-07-11)
Platinum and platinum alloy surfaces are used as catalysts to promote the reduction of oxygen, one of the reactions used to generate electrical energy in low temperature fuel cells, which are sought as promissory clean ...
Effects of Dioxin on Clock, Melatonin Biosynthetic, and Redox Sensitive Genes on Chick Pinealocytes In Vitro
(2006-07-11)
It has been speculated that dioxin treatment can modulate circadian rhythms. Cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) is strongly induced by the xenobiotic dioxin via activation of arylhydrocarbon receptors within cells. Furthermore, ...
Comparison of Circadian Changes in the Retinas of Migrating and Non-migrating Blackcaps, Sylvia atricapilla
(2006-07-11)
The retinas of birds and other vertebrates undergo morphological and physiological
changes throughout the day, which help regulate daily changes in visual sensitivity. One
particular change is the contraction and elongation ...
Gene Expression Profiling of 3T3-L1 Adipocytes Expressing the Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1)
(2006-07-11)
During the past 20 years, there has been a significant increase in the number of individuals developing type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Evidence from several studies indicates that obesity and weight gain (increase in ...
Seismic Discontinuities in the Mantle Beneath the Western Pacific: Evidence from ScS Reverberations
(2006-07-11)
Earthquakes generate seismic waves that travel through the Earth and can be reflected by changes in density and/or seismic velocity that may relate to changes in the phase or chemical composition of the mantle. To study ...
THE USE OF GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR FOR ARCHAEOLOGY: DETERMINING SITE FORMATION PROCESSES AND SUBSURFACE FEATURES ON TUTUILA ISLAND, AMERICAN SAMOA
(2006-07-11)
The use of geophysical remote sensing techniques has been increasing for several decades. As this technology becomes increasingly affordable and accurate, more and more archaeologists are beginning to wonder how this ...
Temporal Changed in the Abundance and Cellular Distribution of GAPDH
(2006-07-11)
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a metabolic enzyme originally thought to be only involved in glycolysis. New studies have shown that this protein contains novel functions not previously anticipated. ...
The Influence of Context Reinstatement on the Recovery of Blocked Memories
(2006-08-16)
The present study examined the effect of context reinstatement on the recovery of experimentally blocked memories and the possible creation of memory errors. Context refers to every aspect of the environment in which a ...
The Effects of Age at Infection and Gender on the Pathogenesis of Theiler’s Virus Induced Disease – A Model of Human Multiple Sclerosis
(2008-09-10)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting 1 in 2000 of the US population. Susceptibility to MS is influenced by environmental, gender, ...
