C-H Amination Catalysis from High-Spin Ferrous Complexes
(2013-10-15)The C-H amination and olefin aziridination chemistry of iron supported by dipyrromethene ligands (RLAr, L=1,9-R2-5-aryldipyrromethene, R = Mes, 2,4,6-Ph3C6H2, tBu, Ad, 10-camphoryl, Ar = Mes, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2) was explored. ... -
C-H Bond Amination from a Ferrous Dipyrromethene Complex
(American Chemical Society, 2009)In this Communication, we report an intramolecular C-H bond amination reaction of a dipyrromethene ferrous complex with organic azides. Monitoring of the spectral changes (variable temperature NMR and UV-vis) of the FeII ... -
The C. elegans Lifespan Machine and its application to the temperature scaling of lifespan
(2013-10-08)Lifespan results from the complex interaction between genetic, environmental and stochastic factors, and therefore varies widely even among isogenic individuals. In C. elegans , the action of molecular mechanisms on aging ... -
C/EBPα Activates Pre-existing and De Novo Macrophage Enhancers during Induced Pre-B Cell Transdifferentiation and Myelopoiesis
(Elsevier, 2015)Summary Transcription-factor-induced somatic cell conversions are highly relevant for both basic and clinical research yet their mechanism is not fully understood and it is unclear whether they reflect normal differentiation ... -
C/Harm City: The Drama of the Baltimore Street in Three Acts
(2021-09-09)This is an ethnography of homicide and its effects in inner-city Baltimore based on over 14 months of fieldwork in the city, much of it in support groups, at community meetings, candlelight vigils, on street corners, and ... -
C/o and Snowline Locations in Protoplanetary Disks: The Effect of Radial Drift and Viscous Gas Accretion
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The C/O ratio is a defining feature of both gas giant atmospheric and protoplanetary disk chemistry. In disks, the C/O ratio is regulated by the presence of snowlines of major volatiles at different distances from the ... -
C2absorption-line diagnostics of diffuse interstellar clouds
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2002)The excitation of the diatomic carbon molecule in diffuse interstellar clouds is discussed for a cloud with large density fluctuations of small linear filling factor along the line of sight. Possible implications for the ... -
C60-Propylamine Adduct Monolayers at the Gas/Water Interface: A Brewster Angle Microscopy and X-Ray Scattering Study
(American Institute of Physics, 1997)Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), x-ray specular reflectivity and grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction (GID) studies of C60-propylamine adduct monolayers at the gas/water interface as a function of molecular area are reported. ... -
C9orf72 suppresses systemic and neural inflammation induced by gut bacteria
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-13)A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic variant contributing to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD)1,2. The C9ORF72 mutation acts through gain and loss of ... -
Cache Craftiness for Fast Multicore Key-Value Storage
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)We present Masstree, a fast key-value database designed for SMP machines. Masstree keeps all data in memory. Its main data structure is a trie-like concatenation of \(B^+\)-trees, each of which handles a fixed-length slice ... -
Cache-Fair Thread Scheduling for Multicore Processors
(2006)We present a new operating system scheduling algorithm for multicore processors. Our algorithm reduces the effects of unequal CPU cache sharing that occur on these processors and cause unfair CPU sharing, priority inversion, ... -
Cache-Oblivious Streaming B-Trees
(Association for Computer Machinery, 2007)A streaming B-tree is a dictionary that efficiently implements insertions and range queries. We present two cache-oblivious streaming B-trees, the shuttle tree, and the cache-oblivious lookahead array (COLA). For block-transfer ... -

Caesurae, Bridges, and the Colometry of Four Tocharian B Meters
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2014)The Tocharians composed verse in hierarchical structures, with the verse dominating major cola, and the major colon in turn dominating one or more minor cola. After providing much-needed descriptive data on Tocharian meter, ... -
Caged: Intimate Violence and the Search for Sovereignty at the Margins of the City
(2016-05-19)“Caged” is an ethnographic investigation of intimate partner violence in Usme, a peripheral district of Bogotá, Colombia, where 37% of women report having experienced physical violence by a partner and 80% report some form ... -
Calamitous knowledge: Disaster research in the British, French and Spanish Atlantic worlds, c.1605-1755
(2021-07-12)The period between 1605 and 1755 witnessed major transformations in the understanding of disasters in the Atlantic world. Rather than constituting stages in a secularising process, these developments consisted of changes ... -
Calamity’s Empire: Slavery, Scarcity, and the Political Economy of Provisioning in the British Caribbean, C. 1775-1834
(2016-08-26)This dissertation examines how practical and conceptual concerns over ensuring the basic needs of colonial subjects shaped the political economy of slavery and empire in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century ... -
Calcified Metazoans in Thrombolite-stromatolite Reefs of the Terminal Proterozoic Nama Group, Namibia
(Paleontological Society, 2000)Reefs containing abundant calcified metazoans occur at several stratigraphic levels within carbonate platforms of the terminal Proterozoic Nama Group, central and southern Namibia. The reef-bearing strata span an interval ... -
Calcium Carbonate Storage in Amorphous Form and Its Template-Induced Crystallization†
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008)Calcium carbonate crystallization in organisms often occurs through the transformation from the amorphous precursor. It is believed that the amorphous phase could be temporarily stabilized and stored, until its templated ...
