1 Coley, Phyllis D.Antifungal depsidone metabolites from Cordyceps dipterigena, an endophytic fungus antagonistic to the phytopathogen gibberella fujikuroiAmong 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
2 Gerig, GuidoBrain Changes in Traumatic Brain InjuryTraumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force traumatically in- jures the brain, typically due to car accidents, accidental falls, and wartime injuries. It is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, especially in children and young adults, and it affects 1.7 million Americans a...2012
3 Gerig, GuidoBrain imaging studies: high throughput by automatic processing pipelineWe have collected 711 neonate brain MR images from an ongoing autism study (Autism Centers of Excellence - Infant Brain Imaging Study ACE-IBIS) .

8 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical modeling the age dependence of Epstein-Barr virus associated infectious mononucleosisMost people get Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection at young age and are asymptomatic. Pri-mary EBV infection in adolescents and young adults however, often leads to infectious mononucleosis (IM) with symptoms including fever, fatigue, and sore throat that can persist for months. Expansion in the num...2012
9 Gerig, GuidoNeuro imaging research labCurrent key research topics are segmentation of MRI/DTI of the early developing brain in healthy and high-risk sub- jects, longitudinal analysis of multi-shape complexes to describe growth trajectories of brain structures, building of nor- mative population atlases of volumetric images and embedded ...2012
10 Olivera, Baldomero M.Novel venom peptides from the cone snail Conus pulicarius discovered through next-generation sequencing of its venom duct transcriptomeThe 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
11 Farmer, Colleen G.The pulmonary anatomy of alligator mississippiensis and its similarity to the avian respiratory systemUsing gross dissections and computed tomography we studied the lungs of juvenile American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis). Our findings indicate that both the external and internal morphology of the lungs is strikingly similar to the embryonic avian respiratory system (lungs + air sacs). We...2012
12 Armentrout, Peter B.The simplest b 2 + ion: determining its structure from its energetics by a direct comparison of the threshold collision-induced dissociation of protonated oxazolone and diketopiperazineEnergy-resolved collision-induced dissociation of b2 + ions derived from protonated GGG and GAG are compared with that of protonated diketopiperazine (H+DKP). Absolute dissociation cross sections are obtained using a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer and analyzed using statistical methods. T...2012
13 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineSpectral analysis of near threshold random lasersEmission 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
14 Mattis, Daniel C.A contribution to the many-fermion problemIn this work we reexamine the many-fermion problem in arbitrary dimensions. It is shown that in two dimensions or higher, the Hamiltonian of interacting fermions can be separated into individual nonintersecting sectors labeled by the wave-vector q. Within each sector the Hamiltonian maps onto a gene...2012-01-01

16 Dale, ColinA novel human-infection-derived bacterium provides insights into the evolutionary origins of mutualistic insect-bacterial symbiosesDespite extensive study, little is known about the origins of the mutualistic bacterial endosymbionts that inhabit approximately 10% of the world's insects. In this study, we characterized a novel opportunistic human pathogen, designated ‘‘strain HS,'' and found that it is a close relative of th...2012-01-01
17 Adler, Frederick R.A time since recovery model with varying rates of loss of immunityFor many infectious diseases, immunity wanes over time. The majority of SIRS models assume that this loss of immunity takes place at a constant rate. We study temporary immunity within a SIRS model structure if the rate of loss of immunity can depend on the time since recovery from disease.We determ...2012-01-01
18 Gondolo, PaoloAberration features in directional dark matter detectionThe motion of the Earth around the Sun causes an annual change in the mag-nitude and direction of the arrival velocity of dark matter particles on Earth, in a way analogous to aberration of stellar light. In directional detectors, aberration of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) modulates ...2012-01-01

25 Bromley, Benjamin C.Binary disruption by massive black holes: hypervelocity stars, S stars, and tidal disruption eventsWe examine whether disrupted binary stars can fuel black hole growth. In this mechanism, tidal disruption produces a single hypervelocity star (HVS) ejected at high velocity and a former companion star bound to the black hole. After a cluster of bound stars forms, orbital diffusion allows the black ...2012-01-01
