1301 Beckerle, Mary C.Comparison of three members of the cysteine-rich protein family reveals functional conservation and divergent patterns of gene expressionMembers of the cysteine-rich protein (CRP) family are evolutionarily conserved proteins that have been implicated in the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. In particular, one CRP family member has been shown to be an essential regulator of cardiac and skeletal muscle development.LIM domains; Chicken fibroblasts; Zyxin; Actinin; Protein expression; Cysteine-rich proteins1997
1302 Gondolo, PaoloCompatibility of DAMA dark matter detection with other searchesWe present two examples of velocity distributions for light dark matter particles that reconcile the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA with all other negative results from dark matter searches.

1305 Cashdan, Elizabeth A.Competition between foragers and food producers on the Botletli River, BotswanaThe immigration of food-producing groups into areas occupied by hunters and gatherers must have been a common occurrence in prehistory.

1306 Francis, LeslieCompetitive sports, disability, and problems of justice in sportsA "level playing field" is a stock metaphor for equality. Despite its status as a near-cliché, however, the metaphor has been given limited theoretical attention. Deliberately tilting the field so that one set of contestants must consistently run uphill while their opponents get a downhill ride is...Level playing field; Competitive sports2005

1308 Kessler, Robert R.Compiling distributed C++Distributed C++ (DC++) is a language for writing parallel applications on loosely coupled distributed systems in C++. Its key idea is to extend the C++ class into 3 categories: gateway classes which act as communication and synchronization entry points between abstract processors, classes whose...Distributed C++; DC++; Parallel applications1994
1309 Dailey, Andrew T.Complement depletion reduces macrophage infiltration and activation during Wallerian degeneration and axonal regenerationAfter peripheral nerve injury, macrophages infiltrate the degenerating nerve and participate in the removal of myelin and axonal debris, in Schwann cell proliferation, and in axonal regeneration. In vitro studies have demonstrated the role serum complement plays in both macrophage invasion and activ...1998

1312 Varner, Michael W.Complications of anesthesia for cesarean delivery.OBJECTIVE: To quantify anesthesia-related complications associated with cesarean delivery in a well-described, prospectively ascertained cohort from multiple university-based hospitals in the United States and to evaluate whether certain factors would identify women at increased risk for a failed re...Cesarean Section; Complications of Anesthesia2005-08
1313 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeComplications of intracranial pressure monitoring in children with head traumaObject. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has become routine in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many surgeons prefer to use external ventricular drains (EVDs) over fiberoptic monitors to measure ICP because of the added benefit of cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The ...Head trauma; Ventriculostomy; External ventricular drain; Monitoring; Fiberoptic monitor2004
