(2012-07-11)It is generally believed that people cannot deliberately contract the orbicularis oculi pars orbitalis (“Action Unit 6,” "Duchenne Marker" or "Cheek Raiser") muscle together with the zygomaticus major (“AU12” or "smile" ...
-
(1991)The objective of this project was to design, construct and use a reflectron with a ²⁵²Cf plasma desorption mass spectrometer. In order to obtain the best results from the instrument, theoretical calculations of the effects ...
-
(1990)Group 6 metal anionic complexes, (CO)₅M(O₂CR)⁻ (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = Me, OPh , were investigated for potential catalytic properties that would mediate a copolymer synthesis. Copolymers made of alternating carbon dioxide and ...
-
Astatine, the least abundant naturally occurring element on earth, has attracted interest due to its unique fundamental chemistry and its potential use as an agent in targeted alpha therapy for cancer treatment. Further ...
-
(1977)Two systems were evaluated for their potential use in a novel photochemical solar energy storage method dubbed HELEOS (Hydrocarbon Entrapment of Light Energy of the Sun). This method consists of storing solar energy through ...
-
(2011-08-08)Nanomedicine is a growing field of medicine that seeks to take advantage of nanoscale materials in order to address current challenges such as the ability to cross the epithelial mucus of the lungs to deliver treatment. ...
-
Vibrationally Excited Nitric Oxide Monitoring (VENOM)14 is a technique which utilizes the electronic excitation of the tracer molecule NO in high speed gas flows to make simultaneous velocity and temperature measurements. ...
-
Thomas Aquinas has written on the topic of mercy and justice as virtues. I use his theories to outline an idea of how forgiveness is an act of mercy. I build off Glen Pettigrove’s Forgiveness and Love to define forgiveness. ...
-
(1998)Nuclear import of proteins is a carefully controlled process that is critical for cellular function and regulation. A protein is marked for nuclear entry by a nuclear localization signal (NLS), a peptide motif, which ...
-
Specifically targeting cancer cells is much more efficient than non-targeted treatment because it decreases side effects and permits stronger treatment without as a risk of harming normal cells. Smart molecular probes and ...
-
A common phenolic metabolite of pyrene, 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), is often used as a biomarker to assess polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure. The developed high-performance liquid chromatography with mass ...
-
Late-metal nitrido complexes are highly reactive structures that participate in important synthetic reactions, such as C–H amination. The intrinsic reactivity of these complexes renders them challenging to directly ...
-
(1979)The bile salts, which are naturally occurring steroidal surfactants, aid in the digestion, emulsification, and absorption of dietary lipids and the transport of drugs across the intestinal wall. Drug-bile salt interactions ...
-
(1987)Protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis, involving 𝛼-chymotrypsin as catalyst and unusual amino acids as acyl acceptors, has been studied. The irreversibility of peptide bonds formed by this method has been explained by ...
-
A distinct feature of secondary ion mass spectrometry, SMIS, with large projectiles, e.g. C60, Au400, Ar2000, is abundant secondary ion, SI, emission. Thus it is feasible to run experiments in the event-by-event bombardment ...
-
(1998)Although peroxisomes are essential organelles involved in the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water, they also contain unique metabolic pathways in lipid metabolism. One of these is the "-oxidation of branched-chain ...
-
Literature Review Clean energies, as solar and wind power, have been used to produce electric energy, but the storage of electric power in batteries is not sufficient, and the production of batteries also generates waste. ...
-
(2011-05-06)Fluoride has proven to be a helpful anion in improving dental health when added to drinking water and toothpaste but extremely detrimental to the body at higher concentrations. Its isotope 18F is useful as a labeling agent ...
-
Frontline tuberculosis drugs, i.e. Isoniazid, have become inefficient as strains of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis have become multi-drug resistant, creating an urgent need for novel antitubercular drugs. The key to the bacterium ...
-
(2017-04-27)Chronic high blood pressure, or hypertension, is identified as a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease. The primary cause of most hypertension is increased peripheral vascular resistance that ...
