Dissecting Protein-Protein Interactions that Regulate the Spindle Checkpoint in Budding Yeast
(2013-03-05)Errors in segregation of genetic materials are detrimental to all organisms. The budding yeast ensures accurate chromosome segregation by employing a system called the spindle checkpoint. The spindle checkpoint, which ... -
Dissecting the Cell Entry Pathway of Dengue Virus by Single-Particle Tracking in Living Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2008)Dengue virus (DENV) is an enveloped RNA virus that causes the most common arthropod-borne infection worldwide. The mechanism by which DENV infects the host cell remains unclear. In this work, we used live-cell imaging and ... -
Dissecting the Composition of Striatal Dopamine Release Machinery
(2021-11-16)There are two general modes of neurotransmission. In synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter-filled vesicles are rapidly released, and the signal is sensed by the target cell in a spatially and temporally precise manner. ... -
Dissecting the embryonic and extraembryonic requirements for DNA methylation in mice
(2021-09-10)DNA methylation is a remarkably dynamic repressive DNA modification that can be stably propagated over successive cell divisions and forms an essential layer of the epigenetic landscape that defines each cell. In the early ... -
Dissecting the Fission Yeast Regulatory Network Reveals Phase-Specific Control Elements of Its Cell Cycle
(BioMed Central, 2009)Background: Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are among the original model organisms in the study of the cell-division cycle. Unlike budding yeast, no large-scale regulatory ... -
Dissecting the Mechanisms of Direct Activation for Proapoptotic BAK and BAX
(2013-10-08)Dissecting the Mechanisms of Direct Activation for Proapoptotic BAK and BAX -
Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of cellular injury in the kidney
(2023-06-01)More than 850 million people are affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally. Despite the prevalence of CKD, there are few options for treatment apart from dialysis or kidney transplantation. The complexities underlying ... -
Dissecting the Molecular Structure of the Orion B Cloud: Insight From Principal Component Analysis
(EDP Sciences, 2017-03)Context: The combination of wideband receivers and spectrometers currently available in (sub-)millimeter observatories deliver wide-field hyperspectral imaging of the interstellar medium. Tens of spectral lines can be ... -
Dissection of Complex Behavior and Whole-Brain Functional Mapping in Larval Zebrafish
(2016-09-12)Understanding how the brain transforms sensory input into complex behavior is a fundamental question in systems neuroscience. Using larval zebrafish, we study the temporal component of phototaxis, ... -
Dissection of the Voltage Losses of an Acidic Quinone Redox Flow Battery
We measure the polarization characteristics of a quinone-bromide redox flow battery with interdigitated flow fields, using electro- chemical impedance spectroscopy and voltammetry of a full cell and of a half cell against ... -
Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei. I. Gas‐Rich Merger Remnants
(American Astronomical Society, 2008-05-20) -
Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei. Ii. 'cusp' Ellipticals
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)We study the origin and properties of "extra" or "excess" central light in the surface brightness profiles of cusp or power-law elliptical galaxies. Dissipational mergers give rise to two-component profiles: an outer profile ... -
Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei. Iii. 'core' Ellipticals And 'missing' Light
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)We investigate how "extra" or "excess" central light in the surface brightness profiles of cusp or power-law elliptical galaxies relates to the profiles of ellipticals with cores. The envelopes of cusp ellipticals are ... -
Dissipation and Extra Light in Galactic Nuclei. Iv. Evolution in the Scaling Relations of Spheroids

Dissipation and quantum phase transitions of a pair of Josephson junctions
(American Physical Society (APS), 2003)A model system consisting of a mesoscopic superconducting grain coupled by Josephson junctions to two macroscopic superconducting electrodes is studied. We focus on the effects of Ohmic dissipation caused by resistive ... -
Dissipation and the Fundamental Plane: Observational Tests
(American Astronomical Society, 2008)We develop observational tests of the idea that dissipation in gas-rich mergers produces the fundamental plane (FP) and related correlations obeyed by ellipticals. The FP "tilt" implies that lower mass ellipticals have a ... -
Dissipation-Theory Treatment of the Transition from Diffusion-Controlled to Diffusionless Solidification
(American Institute of Physics, 1983)The steady-state velocity of a planar liquid-solid interface is predicted by calculating the free energy dissipated by irreversible processes at the interface and equating it to the available driving free energy. A solute ... -
Dissipative dark matter and the Andromeda plane of satellites
(IOP Publishing, 2015)We show that dissipative dark matter can potentially explain the large observed mass to light ratio of the dwarf satellite galaxies that have been observed in the recently identified planar structure around Andromeda, which ... -
Dissipative Dynamics of a Driven Quantum Spin Coupled to a Bath of Ultracold Fermions
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We explore the dynamics and the steady state of a driven quantum spin coupled to a bath of fermions, which can be realized with a strongly imbalanced mixture of ultracold atoms using currently available experimental tools. ...
