Anthropogenic emissions in Nigeria and implications for atmospheric ozone pollution: A view from space
(Elsevier BV, 2014)Nigeria has a high population density and large fossil fuel resources but very poorly managed energy infrastructure. Satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) and glyoxal (CHOCHO) reveal very large sources of anthropogenic ... -
Anthropogenic emissions of highly reactive volatile organic compounds in eastern Texas inferred from oversampling of satellite (OMI) measurements of HCHO columns
(IOP Publishing, 2014)Satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns provide top-down constraints on emissions of highly reactive volatile organic compounds (HRVOCs). This approach has been used previously in the US to estimate isoprene ... -
Anthropogenic forcing on tropospheric ozone and OH since preindustrial times
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)A global three-dimensional model of tropospheric chemistry is used to investigate the changes in tropospheric O3 and OH since preindustrial times as a result of fuel combustion and industry, biomass burning, and growth in ... -
Anthropogenic Impacts on Global Storage and Emissions of Mercury from Terrestrial Soils: Insights from a New Global Model
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)We develop a mechanistic global model of soil mercury storage and emissions that ties the lifetime of mercury in soils to the lifetime of the organic carbon pools it is associated with. We explore the implications of ... -
Anthropogenic Ties to Late-Successional Structure and Composition in Four New England Hemlock Stands
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000)The pace and magnitude of long-term change in the forests of eastern North America is poorly understood. The current study examines the developmental history of primary Tsuga canadensis stands in central Massachusetts from ... -
The Anthropoid Postcranial Axial Skeleton: Comments on Development, Variation, and Evolution
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004)Within-species phenotypic variation is the raw material on which natural selection acts to shape evolutionary change, and understanding more about the developmental genetics of intraspecific as well as interspecific ... -
‘Anthropologists Are Talking’: About Anthropology and Post-Apartheid South Africa
(Informa UK (Taylor & Francis), 2012)In 2010, South Africa hosted the first World Cup in soccer ever to take place on the African continent. Twenty years after the fall of Apartheid, South Africa presents a series of fractured and contradictory images to the ... -
Anthropology at the Phonosonic Nexus
(Wiley Blackwell (Blackwell Publishing), 2011) -
An Anthropology of the Iranian Film Industry: The making of The Willow Tree
(2014-10-21)This dissertation offers a detailed empirical study of a film industry by closely following the industrial process involved in the making of an Iranian feature length film, The Willow Tree (dir. Majid Majidi, 2005). What ... -
Anti-Americanism and Anti-Interventionism in Arabic Twitter Discourses
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015-03)Systematic investigation of attitudes expressed in Arabic on Twitter towards the United States and Iran during 2012-13 shows how the analysis of social media can illuminate the politics of contemporary political discourses ... -
'Anti-Benthamism': Utilitarianism and the French Liberal Tradition
(Cambridge University Press, 2012) -
Anti-Brownian Traps for Studies on Single Molecules
(Elsevier BV, 2010)Until recently, Brownian motion was seen as an immutable feature of small particles in room-temperature liquids. Molecules, viruses, organelles, and small cells jiggle incessantly due to countless collisions with thermally ... -
Anti-corruption in 20th Century China: Campaigns, Judicial Reform, and Commercial Regulation
(2023-06-01)In the 20th century, Chinese leaders in the Republic of China (ROC) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) considered systemic corruption to be a serious threat to their respective state-building projects. To address ... -
Anti-de Sitter fragmentation
(Springer Verlag, 1999)Low-energy, near-horizon scaling limits of black holes which lead to string theory on AdS(2) x S-2 are described. Unlike the higher-dimensional cases, in the simplest approach all finite-energy excitations of AdS(2) x S-2 ... -
Anti-diabetic activity of insulin-degrading enzyme inhibitors mediated by multiple hormones
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Despite decades of speculation that inhibiting endogenous insulin degradation might treat type-2 diabetes, and the identification of IDE (insulin-degrading enzyme) as a diabetes susceptibility gene, the relationship between ... -
An anti-infective synthetic peptide with dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Antibiotic-resistant infections are predicted to kill 10 million people per year by 2050, costing the global economy $100 trillion. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop alternative technologies. We have engineered ... -
Anti-proliferative activity of the NPM1 interacting natural product avrainvillamide in acute myeloid leukemia
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Mutated nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) acts as a proto-oncogene and is present in ~30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here we examined the in vitro and in vivo anti-leukemic activity of the NPM1 and chromosome ... -
Anti-Reflection Coating for Nitrogen-Vacancy Optical Measurements in Diamond
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2012)We realize anti-reflection (AR) coatings for optical excitation and fluorescence measurements of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in bulk diamond by depositing quarter-wavelength thick silica layers on the diamondsurface. ... -
Antialiasing for Automultiscopic 3D Displays
(Eurographics Association, 2006)Automultiscopic displays show stereoscopic images that can be viewed from any viewpoint without special glasses. They hold great promise for the future of television and digital entertainment. However, the image quality ... -
An antibiotic binds to the ATPase that powers lipopolysaccharide transport
(2016-07-05)The spread of antibiotic resistance has created an urgent need for new antibiotics. The situation is particularly serious for Gram-negative bacteria because they possess an outer membrane (OM) that prevents many antibiotics ...
