2 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Elastic properties of (N(CH3)3H) (I) (TCNQ)We present the results of a study of the temperature dependence of the Young's modulus and internal friction of (N(CH3 )3H)(I)(TCNQ). The Young's modulus was measured in a direction parallel to the TCNQ (tetracyanoquinodimethane) stacking axis using a vibrating reed technique.

4 Beckerle, Mary C.; Clark, Kathleen A.Integrin effector PINCH regulates JNK activity and epithelial migration in concert with Ras suppressor 1Cell adhesion and migration are dynamic pro- cesses requiring the coordinated action of multiple signaling pathways, but the mechanisms underlying signal integration have remained elusive.

7 Clayton, Dale H.Ecological basis of coevolutionary historyMacroevolutionary patterns are difficult to interpret because they are the product of a time scale so vast that deterministic and chance events are hard to distinguish. Although the macroevolutionary history of a group can be reconstructed from extant species, determining the ecological context in ...2003
8 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineTransport studies of isolated molecular wires in self-assembled monolayer devicesWe have fabricated a variety of isolated molecule diodes based on self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of solid-state mixture (SSM) of molecular wires [1,4-methane benzene dithiol (Me-BDT)], and molecular insulator spacers [penthane 1-thiol (PT)] with different concentration ratios r of wires/spacers, wh...Transport studies; Molecular wires; Monolayer devices2005
9 Clayton, Dale H.; Rogers, Alan R.Genetic analysis of lice supports direct contact between modern and archaic humansParasites can be used as unique markers to investigate host evolutionary history, independent of host data. Here we show that modern human head lice, Pediculus humanus, are composed of two ancient lineages, whose origin predates modern Homo sapiens by an order of magnitude (ca. 1.18 million years).Pediculus humanus; Head lice; Molecular phylogeny; Phthirus2004
10 Clayton, Dale H.Biology, ecology, and evolution of chewing liceChewing lice are small, dorsoventrally compressed insects and are parasites of virtually all birds (Fig. 1) and some mammals (Fig. 2). Many chewing lice are host specific, being found on only a single species of host. All chewing lice are permanent ectoparasites and complete their entire life c...Chewing lice2003

12 Poulter, Charles DaleFarnesyl diphosphate synthetase: molecular cloning, sequence, and expression of an essential gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiaeFarnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthetase is a key enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis which supplies C15 precursors for several classes of essential metabolites including sterols, dolichols, and ubiquinones. The structural gene for FPP synthetase was isolated on a 4.5-kilobase EcoRI genomic restriction f...Genetics; Transferases; Dimethylallyltranstransferase/biosynthesis1989-11-15
13 Symko, Orest GeorgeEnergy conversion using thermoacoustic devicesThermoacoustic engines offer the possibility for simple and efficient energy convmiondevices. They can be prime movers where heat produces sound or heat pumps and refrigerators where sound pump heat. An important element in such engines is the secondary thermodynamic medium, the stack which provides...Thermoacoustic devices; Thermoacoustics1999

15 Lawton, Kristy J.Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generatorCentral patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la...CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus2017
16 Sekercioglu, CaganChewing lice (Phthiraptera) species found on Turkish shorebirds (Charadriiformes)Approximately 4.500 species of lice have been so far described, with about 4.000 species seen on birds and with 3.000 species in the suborder Ischnocera 1. There are 465 bird species so far recorded in Turkey and the actual total is likely to exceed 500 species. However, the chewing lice fauna of th...2010-01-01

20 Clayton, Dale H.Experimental test of the importance of preen oil in Rock Doves (Columba livia)Most species of birds have a uropygial gland, also known as a preen gland, which produces oil that birds spread through their plumage when preening. The plumage of waterfowl deprived of uropygial oil becomes brittle and is subject to breakage.Columba livia; Columbiformes; Preen oil; Ectoparasites; Columbicola columbae; Campanulotes compare; Plumage2003

22 Adler, Frederick R.Effect of 1918 PB1-F2 expression on influenza A virus infection kineticsRelatively little is known about the viral factors contributing to the lethality of the 1918 pandemic, although its unparalleled virulence was likely due in part to the newly discovered PB1-F2 protein.

24 Golden, Kenneth M.Classical transport in quasiperiodic mediaAbstract. Classical transport coefficients such as the effective conductivity or diffusivity of a quasiperiodic medium were observed [1] to depend discontinuously on the frequencies of the quasiperiodicity.
