 | Coley, Phyllis D. | Antifungal depsidone metabolites from Cordyceps dipterigena, an endophytic fungus antagonistic to the phytopathogen gibberella fujikuroi | Among thirty four endophytic fungal strains screened for in vitro antagonism, the endophytic fungus Cordyceps dipterigena was found to strongly inhibit mycelial growth of the plant pathogenic fungus Gibberella fujikuroi. Two new depsidone metabolites, cordycepsidone A (1) and cordycepsidone B (2), w... | 2012 | |

 | Olivera, Baldomero M. | Novel venom peptides from the cone snail Conus pulicarius discovered through next-generation sequencing of its venom duct transcriptome | The venom peptides (i.e., conotoxins or conopeptides) that species in the genus Conus collectively produce are remarkably diverse, estimated to be around 50,000 to 140,000, but the pace of discovery and characterization of these peptides have been rather slow. To date, only a minor fraction have be... | 2012 | |

 | Whitty, Kevin J. | Physical phenomena of char-slag transition in pulverized coal gasification | Performance of entrained-flow coal gasifiers is in large part dictated by the burnout behavior of coal particles. In particular, the transition from porous, reactive char to molten, low reactive slag affects overall coal conversion. In this work, the physical phenomena associated with char?slag tran... | 2012 | |

 | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Spectral analysis of near threshold random lasers | Emission spectra from random lasing systems typically have numerous narrow resonant lines. When excited very near to the laser threshold there are fewer resonant lines which clarify the emission spectrum analysis. We studied three different random lasing systems including ?-conjugated polymer films... | 2012 | |

 | Suchy, Yana | Aberrant functional connectivity of cortico-basal ganglia circuits in major depression | There is considerable evidence of functional abnormalities of the cortico-basal ganglia circuitry in affective disorders. However, it has been unknown whether this represented primary pathology within these circuits or altered activation as a result of aberrant input from other brain regions. The ai... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Light, Alan R. | Activation of Src family kinases in spinal microglia contributes to formalin-induced persistent pain state through p38 pathway | Protein tyrosine phosphorylation has been implicated in normal and pathological functions, such as cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Recently, some studies have shown that Src family kinases (SFKs) were involved in neurological disorders and neuropathic pain states in which microgli... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Berzins, Martin | Adaptive high-order discontinuous galerkin solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication point contact problems | This paper describes an adaptive implementation of a high order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact problems. These problems arise when modelling the thin lubricating film between contacts which are under sufficiently high pressur... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Alkali metal cation interactions with 12-crown-4 in the gas phase: revisited | Quantitative interactions of alkali metal cations with the cyclic 12-crown-4 polyether ligand (12C4) are studied. Experimentally, Rb+(12C4) and Cs+(12C4) complexes are formed using electrospray ionization and their bond dissociation energies (BDEs) determined using threshold collision-induced dissoc... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Crespo, Jose Guillermo | Antennal lobe organization in the slender pigeon louse, Columbicola columbae (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) | This study reports on the structure of the antennal lobe of the pigeon louse, Columbicola columbae. Anterograde staining of antennal receptor neurons revealed an antennal lobe with a few diffuse compartments, an organization distinct from the typical spheroidal glomerular structure found in the olfa... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Berzins, Martin | Data and range-bounded polynomials in ENO methods | Essentially Non-Oscillatory (ENO) methods and Weighted Essentially Non- Oscillatory (WENO) methods are of fundamental importance in the numerical solution of hyperbolic equations. A key property of such equations is that the solution must remain positive or lie between bounds. A modification of the ... | 2012-01-01 | |

Dennis | Dynamics, space, and regional inequality in provincial China: a case study of Guangdong province | This paper investigates the regional inequality in one of the most developed provinces in China, Guangdong, from 1979 to 2009 and follows the multi-scale and multi-mechanism framework. We have found a new round of intensifying inequality in Guangdong since the early 2000s, which is attributed to the... | 2012-01-01 | |
