1 Brown, Barbara B.Post-occupancy evaluation of wayfinding in a pediatric hospital: research findings and implications for instructionA post-occupancy evaluation (POE) of way finding in a new pediatric hospital pointed to a wide range of areas where wayfinding aids could be improved. After initial walk-through evaluation tours and meetings with administrators, five more systematic methods were used to assess problems: staff and vi...Hospitals; Wayfinding; Signage1997
2 Capecchi, Mario R.Hox genes and mammalian developmentWe have examined the interactions of Hox genes in forming a cervical vertebrae, hindbrain, and limbs. In each case, it is apparent that individual Hox genes are performing individual functions but that more profound roles are apparent when they act in combination with others Hox genes. The observed ...Drosophila; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Homozygote1997
3 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
4 Beckerle, Mary C.Nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of the focal contact protein, zyxin: a potential mechanism for communication between sites of cell adhesion and the nucleusIntegrin-dependent cell adhesion to specific extracellular matrix molecules has been demonstrated to trigger dramatic changes in gene expression that can affect cell fate. However, little is understood about the molecular mechanism by which events at sites of cell-substratum adhesion are communicate...Zyxin; Cytosol; Nuclear export signal1997
5 Jorgensen, ErikNeural plasticityNeural plasticity refers to functional changes in the nervous system and therefore encompasses a range of phenomena from changes at synapses observed on a microscopic scale to changes in behavior observed in the whole animal. These diverse phenomena are related since changes in synapses are believ...Synapses; Nervous System; Development1997
6 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Effects of V/III ratio on ordering and antiphase boundaries in GaInP layersTransmission electron microscope (TEM) and transmission electron diffraction (TED) studies have been performed to investigate the effects of V/III ratio on ordering and antiphase boundaries (APBs) in organometallic vapor phase epitaxial Ga0.5In0.5P layers grown onto (001) GaAs vicinal substrates ...Antiphase boundaries; APB; Heterostructures; Organometallics1997
7 Jorgensen, ErikCaenorhabditis elegans rab-3 mutant synapses exhibit impaired function and are partially depleted of vesiclesRab molecules regulate vesicular trafficking in many different exocytic and endocytic transport pathways in eukaryotic cells. In neurons, rab3 has been proposed to play a crucial role in regulating synaptic vesicle release. To elucidate the role of rab3 in synaptic transmission, we isolated and cha...1997
8 Beckerle, Mary C.CRP1, a LIM domain protein implicated in muscle differentiation, interacts with α-actininMembers of the cysteine-rich protein (CRP) family are LIM domain proteins that have been implicated in muscle differentiation. One strategy for defining the mechanism by which CRPs potentiate myogenesis is to characterize the repertoire of CRP binding partners.CRP1; Cysteine-rich proteins; Actinin; Protein-protein interactions; LIM domains1997
9 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Felden, Brice; McCutcheon, John P.Probing the structure of the Escherichia coli 10Sa RNA (tmRNA)The conformation of the Escherichia coli 10Sa RNA (tmRNA) in solution was investigated using chemical and enzymatic probes. Single- and double-stranded domains were identified by hydrolysis of tmRNA in imidazole buffer and by lead(II)-induced cleavages. Ribonucleases T1 and S1 were used to map unpai...Covariation; Pseudoknot; Structural Probing; 10Sa RNA; tmRNA1997
10 Olivera, Baldomero M.Alternative splicing in the pore-forming region of shaker potassium channelsWe have cloned cDNAs for the shaker potassium channel gene from the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus. As previously found in Drosophila, there is alternative splicing at the 59 and 39 ends of the coding region. However, in Panulirus shaker, alternative splicing also occurs within the pore-forming...Panulirus interruptus; Conotoxins; Shaker; Stomatogastric ganglion; Pore-forming region; Alternative splicing1997
11 Silverman, Randall H.Book repair in the U.S.A.: a library-wide approach to conservationAbstract: Modern research library collections are a composite of both rare and non-rare books the majority of which are out of print and irreplaceable. Consequently, conservation treatment priorities cannot responsibly ignore non-rare material without shortchanging future scholarly needs. To address...Preservation, books; Conservation, books1997
