Geometry, Mechanics, and Electronics of Singular Structures and Wrinkles in Graphene
(American Physical Society, 2010)As the thinnest atomic membrane, graphene presents an opportunity to combine geometry, elasticity, and electronics at the limits of their validity. We describe the transport and electronic structure in the neighborhood of ... -
Geometry-Induced Casimir Suspension of Oblate Bodies in Fluids
(American Physical Society, 2013)We predict that a low-permittivity oblate body (disk-shaped object) above a thin metal substrate (plate with a hole) immersed in a fluid of intermediate permittivity will experience a metastable equilibrium (restoring ... -
Geomicrobiological linkages between short-chain alkane consumption and sulfate reduction rates in seep sediments
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Marine hydrocarbon seeps are ecosystems that are rich in methane, and, in some cases, short-chain (C2–C5) and longer alkanes. C2–C4 alkanes such as ethane, propane, and butane can be significant components of seeping fluids. ... -

Germ cell selection in genetic mosaics in Drosophila melanogaster
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001)Heritable mutations in the germ line lead to genetically heterogeneous, or mosaic, gonads. Many of the genes used in germ-line development also play roles in somatic development [Saffman, E. E. & Lasko, P. (1999) Cell. ... -
Germ Cells Are Not Required to Establish the Female Pathway in Mouse Fetal Gonads
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The fetal gonad is composed of a mixture of somatic cell lineages and germ cells. The fate of the gonad, male or female, is determined by a population of somatic cells that differentiate into Sertoli or granulosa cells and ... -

Germline Progenitors Escape the Widespread Phenomenon of Homolog Pairing during Drosophila Development
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Homolog pairing, which plays a critical role in meiosis, poses a potential risk if it occurs in inappropriate tissues or between nonallelic sites, as it can lead to changes in gene expression, chromosome entanglements, and ... -
Gerrothorax pulcherrimus from the upper Triassic Fleming Fjord formation of East Greenland and a reassessment of head lifting in temnospondyl feeding
(Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2008)The plagiosaurine <i>Gerrothorax pulcherrimus</i>, a ubiquitous faunal component of the Fleming Fjord Formation, is recognized by tubercular ornamentation, contact between the postfrontal and supratemporal, at least two ... -

Get Real: Effects of Repeated Simulation and Emotion on the Perceived Plausibility of Future Experiences
(American Psychological Association, 2013)People frequently imagine specific interpersonal experiences that might occur in their futures. The present study used a novel experimental paradigm to examine the influence of repeated simulation of future interpersonal ... -

Getting around cosmic variance
(American Physical Society, 1997)Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies probe the primordial density field at the edge of the observable Universe. There is a limiting precision (''cosmic variance'') with which anisotropies can determine the amplitude ... -
Getting Better or Feeling Better? How Equity Investors Respond to Investment Experience
(National Bureau of Economic Research, 2014)Using a large representative sample of Indian retail equity investors, many of them new to the stock market, we show that both years of investment experience and feedback from investment returns have significant effects ...
