Sekercioglu, Cagan | Causes and consequences of bird extinctions | Increased human domination of the planet has caused the declines and extinctions of countless species. Each species has not only intrinsic value, but ecological functions of organisms are also essential for the integrity of ecosystems that allow people to benefit from essential free ecosystem servic... | | 2003-01-01 |

Torti, Sylvia D.; Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Causes and consequences of monodominance in tropical lowland forests | Tropical canopy dominance in lowland, well-drained forests by one plant species is a long-standing conundrum in tropical biology. Research now shows that dominance is not the result of one trait or mechanism. We suggest that the striking dominance of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei in the Ituri Forest of ... | Monodominance; Gilbertiodendron dewevrei; Ituri Forest; Understory | 2001 |

Sperry, John S. | Cavitation fatigue - the weakening of cavitation resistance of xylem and its reversibility | Xylem function is essential for the growth and survival of higher land plants. Xylem must not only be efficient under favorable conditions to facilitate high rates of stomatal conductance and carbon uptake, but it should also remain functional under drought conditions, when water potential (Ψ) dro... | Cavitation fatigue; Drought; Pit membrane | 2003 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Cecropia and its biotic defenses | In all the world, the genus Cecropia is unrivaled for the number of myrmecophytes, or true "antplants" counted among its species (McKey & Davidson, 1993). Based on the proportion of Cecropia species producing Mullerian bodies in at least some parts of their distribution, myrmecophytes comprise the ... | Myrmecophytes; Mullerian bodies; Pearl bodies | 2005 |

Carter, Tony M.; Smith, Kent F. | Cell matrix methodologies for integrated circuit design | A class of integrated circuit design and implementation methodologies is described. These techniques are unique in that they simultaneously model both function and interconnect using cells. These cells are designed such that cell adjacency normally implies interconnection. The absence of an interco... | Integrated circuit design; Cell matrix | 1989 |

Bastiani, Michael | Cell-cell interactions during the migration of an identified commissural growth cone in the embryonic grasshopper | One of the fascicles of the posterior commissure of the embryonic grasshopper is pioneered by an individually identifiable neuron named Q1. Q1 initially grows along a longitudinal pathway established by another pioneer neuron, MPl, and then crosses to the midline, where it meets and fasciculates wi... | Commissure; Pathfinding; Filopodia | 1993 |

Gesteland, Raymond F. | Cell-free synthesis of herpes simplex virus proteins | Polyribosomes isolated from herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1)-infected cells have been used to program a eucaryotic cell-free translation system. At least 10 HSV-specific polypeptides, with apparent molecular weights of 25,000 to 160,000, are synthesized by wild-type HSV-infected polyribosomes.

Bastiani, Michael | Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: segmental gradients of synaptic probability and strength | The 20 stretch receptor neurons (SRs) of the crayfish abdomen send axons into the CNS that then project both to the brain and to the last abdominal ganglion, G6 (Bastiani and Mulloney, 1988). In G6, we recorded intracellularly from different kinds of neurons postsynaptic to SR axons. | Axons; Synapses; SR | 1988 |

Bastiani, Michael | Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: structure, variation, and postembryonic growth | Each stretch receptor neuron (SR) of the crayfish abdomen projects from its peripherally located soma an axon that enters the CNS through the second nerve (N2) of its segmental ganglion. CoZ+ backfills of N2 revealed that this axon bifurcates, sending one branch to the brain and the other to the te... | Abdomen; Axon; Ganglion | 1988 |

Symko, Orest George | Chaos in long Josephson junctions without external rf driving force | Simulations of long Josephson junctions in an external magnetic field show a variety of chaotic behaviors. They consist of period-doubling bifurcation, intermittency between and within Fiske steps, and quasiperiodic motion at Fiske steps. A physical explanation for the chaotic behavior is presented.... | Fiske steps; Chaos; Chaotic behaviors | 1990-09 |

Symko, Orest George | Characteristics of YBaCuO magnetic shields | Magnetic shielding properties of YBaCuO tubes have been studied at temperatures of 77 K and 4 K. Shielding effectiveness was determined by measuring the magnetic field inside the tube in the presence of external magnetic fields. A high degree of shielding was achieved up to a critical external fie... | YBaCuO magnetic shields; SQUID | 1991-03 |

Gesteland, Raymond F. | Characterization of lysozyme messenger and lysozyme synthesized in vitro | In vitro systems for protein systhesis have been in wide use for about 10 years. In most of the early work protein synthesis was measured by following the incorporation of radioactive amino acids into acid precipitable material. This test cannot distinguish between the synthesis of complete, activ... | Lysozyme Messenger; Lysozyme Synthesized; Protein Synthesis | 1969 |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Characterization of one-dimensional Luttinger liquids in terms of fractional exclusion statistics | We develop a bosonization approach to study the low temperature properties of one-dimensional gas of particles obeying fractional exclusion statistics (FES).

Beckerle, Mary C. | Characterization of the interaction between zyxin and members of the Ena/Vasodilator-stimulated Phosphoprotein family of proteins | Zyxin contains a proline-rich N-terminal domain that is similar to the C-terminal domain in the ActA protein of the bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. We screened the entire amino acid sequence of human zyxin for Menainteracting peptides and found that, as with ActA, proline-rich sequences were the s... | Zyxin; Actin; Listeria monocytogenes; Proline-rich repeats; Cell spreading | 2000 |
