705 Christensen, Douglas A.; Herron, James N.Evanescent coupling in a waveguide fluoroimmunosensorA key factor in the analysis of evanescently-coupled optical sensors, such as the planar waveguide immunosensor analyzed here, is the efficiency of coupling between the optical waveguide modes and the fluorescent sources located on the surface of the waveguide. This is an important parameter in dete...Evanescent coupling; Waveguide; Fluoroimmunosensor1992
706 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.Evolutionary specialization of recoding: frameshifting in the expression of S. cerevisiae antizyme mRNA is via an atypical antizyme shift site but is still +1An autoregulatory translational shift to the +1 frame is required for the expression of ornithine decarboxylase antizyme from fungi to mammals. In most eukaryotes, including all vertebrates and a majority of the studied fungi/yeast, the site on antizyme mRNA where the shift occurs is UCC-UGA. The me...Antizyme; ODC; Polyamines; Frameshifting2006
707 Henderson, Thomas C.Evolutionary teleomorphologyThe physical layout of organs and neural structures in biological systems is important to their functioning, and is the result of evolutionary selection forces. We believe this is true even at the individual neuron level, and should be accounted for in any bio-based approach. In particular, when tr...Evolutionary teleomorphology; Bio-based approach; Physical layout problem; PLP; Neurons; Nodes1995
708 Regehr, JohnEvolving real-time systems using hierarchical scheduling and concurrency analysisWe have developed a new way to look at real-time and embedded software: as a collection of execution environments created by a hierarchy of schedulers. Common schedulers include those that run interrupts, bottom-half handlers, threads, and events. We have created algorithms for deriving response tim...2003-01-01
