Mercury is an air pollutant emitted from coal fired power plants. Once released into the environment, mercury undergoes conversion to organomercury compounds, which cause health concerns for both humans and animals. Many studies have been completed with the goal of reducing mercury emissions...

Different scales of spatial segregation of two species of feather mites on the wings of a passerine bird
Download2011
Mestre, A., Mesquita-Joanes, F., Proctor, H., Monros, J. S.
The \"condition-specific competition hypothesis\" proposes that coexistence of 2 species is possible when spatial or temporal variations in environmental conditions exist and each species responds differently to those conditions. The distribution of different species of feather mites on their...

Elevation of global O-GlcNAc levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by selective inhibition of O-GlcNAcase does not induce insulin resistance
Download2008
Bubb, Abigail K., Macauley, Matthew S., Davies, Gideon J., Vocadlo, David J. , Martinez-Fleites, Carlos
The O-GlcNAc post-translational modification is considered to act as a sensor of nutrient flux through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. A cornerstone of this hypothesis is that global elevation of protein O-GlcNAc levels, typically induced with the non-selective O-GlcNAcase inhibitor PUGNAc...

Endogenous melanocortin antagonist in fish: Structure, brain mapping and regulation by fasting of the goldfish agouti-related protein gene
Download2003
Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a naturally occurring antagonist of melanocortin. In mammals, central AGRP expression is restricted to the arcuate nucleus in which it plays a key role in the control of energy balance by antagonizing melanocortin effects at melanocortin 4 receptors. In goldfish,...

This essay analyzes and develops recent views about explanation in biology. Philosophers of biology have parted with the received deductive-nomological model of scientific explanation primarily by attempting to capture actual biological theorizing and practice. This includes an endorsement of...

Identification of atomistic mechanisms for grain boundary migration in [001] twist boundaries: molecular dynamics simulations
DownloadFall 2009
In this thesis, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to characterize the atomic motions governing grain boundary migration in a series of [001] twist boundaries. Particularly, migrations of a θ=36.87° Σ5, a θ=22.63° Σ13 and a θ=40.23° general high angle [001] twist boundaries driven by...

Large-scale proteome profile of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gill for physiological and biomarker discovery studies
Download2009
De Souza, A. G., Goss, G. G., MacCormack, T. J., Wang, N., Li, L.
Abstract: Zebrafish are an important model in vertebrate genetics, developmental biology, physiology, and toxicology. In this study, we established the first large-scale proteome profile of a teleost fish tissue using a shotgun method based on two-dimensional liquid chromatography-electrospray...

Klassen, John S., Yao, Yuyu, Serpe, Michael J., Xu, Wenwen
Anisotropic particles have generated an enormous amount of research interest due to their applications for drug delivery, electronic displays and as micromotors. However, up till now, there is no single protocol capable of generating particles of “patchy” composition with a variety of...

Magnetospheric convection and magnetopause shadowing effects in ULF wave‐driven energetic electron transport
Download2013
Murphy, Kyle, Degeling, Alex W., Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Johnathan
Magnetospheric radiation belt electron transport in the presence of ULF waves and a convection electric field is investigated using a model that includes a nightside plasma sheet source and electron losses by magnetopause shadowing. Narrow-band ULF waves launched from a prescribed dayside...

In this research, a literature review is conducted for landslide reactivation and movement caused by reservoir water level fluctuation around the world and especially in China in the past decades. Based on the movement patterns and characteristics, landslides triggered by reservoir level...
