101 Couldwell, William T.Metastatic melanoma to the pituitary glandMetastasis to the pituitary gland is unusual, and occurs most often in patients with carcinomas of the breast or lung. Despite its propensity for spread to the brain, metastatic melanoma has rarely been described within the sella. Methods: We report two cases of malignant melanoma pathologically co...2007

104 Capecchi, Mario R.Mice with enhanced macrophage angiotensin-converting enzyme are resistant to melanomaAngiotensin-converting enzyne (ACE) is a pepitdase responsible for the cleavage of angiotensin I and Several other peptides. Here, gene targeting was used to switch control of the ACE locus from the endogenous promoter to the macrophage-specific c-fms promoter. Challenge of these mice, called ACE 10...Macrophage enzyme; Melanoma resistance; Enhanced macrophage angiotensin-converting enzyme2007
105 Scarpulla, MichaelMn L3,2 x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxPWe have measured the X-ray absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Mn i32 edges in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMrixP films for 0.018<x<0.042. Large XMCD asymmetries at the L3 edge indicate significant spin-polarization of the density of states at the Fermi energy. The spectral s...X-ray absorption; Ferromagnetic semiconductors; X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD); Gallium Manganese Phosphide; Gallium arsenide2007
106 Jorgensen, ErikMolecular basis of synaptic vesicle cargo recognition by the endocytic sorting adaptor stonin 2Synaptic transmission depends on clathrin-mediated recycling of synaptic vesicles (SVs). How select SV proteins are targeted for internalization has remained elusive. Stonins are evolutionarily conserved adaptors dedicated to endocytic sorting of the SV protein synaptotagmin. Our data identify the m...2007

108 Khan, Faisal HabibMultiple load-source integration in a multilevel modular capacitor clamped DC-DC converter featuring fault tolerant capabilityAbstract-A multilevel modular capacitor clamped dc-dc converter (MMCCC) will be presented in this paper with some of its advantageous features. By virtue of the modular nature of the converter, it is possible to integrate multiple loads and sources to the converter at the same time. The modular con...2007
109 Estlund, Karen M.New librarians and scholarly communicationIncluded in the mission statement of many academic libraries is a phrase similar to this: "The library supports the research and instruction of the university." Scholarly communication is essential to this mission and it is critical that the problem of the lack of resources and access to scholarship...Scholarly communication; Academic libraries; Copyright; Research databases; Research; Librarianship2007
110 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Bulaj, GrzegorzNovel conantokins from Conus parius venom are specific antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptorsWe report the discovery and characterization of three conantokin peptides from the venom of Conus parius. Each peptide (conantokin-Pr1, -Pr2, and -Pr3) contains 19 amino acids with three γ-carboxyglutamate (Gla) residues, a post-translationally modified amino acid characteristic of conantokins.

112 Zimmer, ZacharyOlder persons' AIDS knowledge and willingness to provide care in an impoverished nation: evidence from CambodiaSince the beginning of the global pandemic, assessing knowledge and attitudes regarding AIDS has been an important subject of research and for good reasons. Given the unusual features of HIV/AIDS, there is considerable potential for misunderstanding important aspects of the disease that could affect...AIDS knowledge2007
113 Eddings, Eric G.; Sarofim, Adel F.Olefin chemistry in a premixed n-heptane flameThree different n-heptane mechanisms were used to simulate a fuel-rich normal heptane premixed flame in order to identify major reaction pathways for olefin formation and consumption and areas of uncertainties of these reactions. Olefins are formed mainly via ?-scission and hydrogen abstraction, and...Heptane mechanism; N-heptane; Olefin formation; Olefin consumption; Alkyl radicals2007
114 Crowe, Benjamin D.On the track of the fugitive Gods: Heidegger, Luther, HolderlinAt each of the decisive turning points in his philosophical career, Heidegger found inspiration in Holderlin. More recently, commentators have raised questions about the role that his reading of Holderlin played in Heidegger's political actions of the 1930s. It has been suggested that Heidegger's...Philosophy;; Theology; Religion; Nationalism2007
115 Anderson, Richard BryanOpen access: clear benefits, hidden costsOpen Access offers real benefits to society. However, the net value of those benefits cannot be determined unless its costs are computed as well. The purpose of this statement is not to call on participants in the scholarly information chain to fight against OA, but only to move forward while taki...Open Access; Research; Publishers; Information2007
116 Jorgensen, ErikOpen syntaxin docks synaptic vesiclesSynaptic vesicles dock to the plasma membrane at synapses to facilitate rapid exocytosis. Docking was originally proposed to require the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins; however, perturbation studies suggested that docking was independent of the...2007
