Marchand, Richard, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Solomon, Stanley C., Wang, Wenbin, Le, G. M., Wang, J. S., Lei, J., Rae, I. Johnathan
A new interactive M-I coupling model that describes the dynamic interaction between magnetospheric dispersive waves, compressional modes, and auroral electron precipitations is applied to investigate the geomagnetic electromagnetic pulsations observed in Earth's magnetosphere in terms of...

Saleh, Menna A., Kempers, Roger, Melenka, Garrett W.
Smart materials with sensing capabilities are an exciting new technology that will impact many applications, including structural health monitoring (SHM), biomedical implants, wearable sensors, automotive, and actuators. Strain sensors (piezoresistive material) for SHM can be used to measure the...

We investigate parallel electron acceleration due to inertial Alfven wave pulses in the presence of Lorentzian ( kappa) distribution functions which possess high-energy tails. A linear kinetic dispersion relation for inertial Alfven waves is derived whose solutions are used to guide the analysis...

On 23 November 2012, a sudden dropout of the relativistic electron flux was observed after an interplanetary shock arrival. The dropout peaks at ∼1 MeV and more than 80% of the electrons disappeared from the drift shell. Van Allen twin Probes observed a sharp electron flux dropout with clear...

A three-dimensional compressible resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulation code, with inclusion of the fully generalized Ohm's law, has been developed to study the nonlinear evolution of field line resonances in Earth's magnetosphere. A simple Cartesian box model of an inhomogeneous plasma with...

In this paper we study the interaction of kinetic Alfven waves generated near the equatorial plane of the magnetosphere with electrons having initial energies up to similar to 100 eV. Wave-particle interactions are investigated using a theoretical model of trapping into an effective potential...

Klassen, John S., Lin, Hong, Kitova, Elena N., Ng, Kenneth K., Johnson, M. A., Eugenio, Luiz
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements were performed under a variety of solution conditions on a highly acidic sub-fragment (B3C) of the C-terminal carbohydrate-binding repeat region of Clostridium difficile toxin B, and two mutants (B4A and B4B) containing fewer acidic...

Elevation of global O-GlcNAc levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by selective inhibition of O-GlcNAcase does not induce insulin resistance

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...
