Co-registered Geochemistry and Metatranscriptomics Reveal Unexpected Distributions of Microbial Activity within a Hydrothermal Vent Field
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017)Despite years of research into microbial activity at diffuse flow hydrothermal vents, the extent of microbial niche diversity in these settings is not known. To better understand the relationship between microbial activity ... -
Co-targeting epigenetic and oncogenic enzymes in HER2+ breast cancer
(2022-01-19)Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide with over 2 million women diagnosed every year, and caused 685,000 deaths globally in 2020. 15-25% of breast cancer patients overexpress the receptor tyrosine kinase ... -
Co-targeting Translation Initiation and the RAS/ERK Pathway for the Treatment of KRAS-mutant Lung Cancer
(2023-12-12)Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most frequent subtype. Among the genetic alterations associated with NSCLC, activating mutations in the ... -
CO2 and its correlation with CO at a rural site near Beijing: implications for combustion efficiency in China
(Copernicus GmbH, 2010)Although China has surpassed the United States as the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter, in situ measurements of atmospheric CO2 have been sparse in China. This paper analyzes hourly CO2 and its correlation with CO ... -
CO2 Uptake and Fixation by Endosymbiotic Chemoautotrophs from the Bivalve Solemya velum
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006)Chemoautotrophic symbioses, in which endosymbiotic bacteria are the major source of organic carbon for the host, are found in marine habitats where sulfide and oxygen coexist. The purpose of this study was to determine the ... -
Coadaptation and conflict, misconception and muddle, in the evolution of genomic imprinting
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013)Common misconceptions of the ‘parental conflict’ theory of genomic imprinting are addressed. Contrary to widespread belief, the theory defines conditions for cooperation as well as conflict in mother–offspring relations. ... -
Coalitional Rationalizability
(MIT Press, 2006)This paper investigates how groups or coalitions of players can act in their collective interest in noncooperative normal form games even if equilibrium play is not assumed. The main idea is that each member of a coalition ... -
Coarse Graining Atomistic Simulations of Plastically Deforming Amorphous Solids
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-05-05)The primary mode of failure in disordered solids results from the formation and persistence of highly localized regions of large plastic strains known as shear bands. Continuum-level field theories capable of predicting ... -
Coarse Thinking and Persuasion
(MIT Press, 2008)We present a model of uninformative persuasion in which individuals “think coarsely”: they group situations into categories and apply the same model of inference to all situations within a category. Coarse thinking exhibits ... -
Coarse-grained Models of Biological Systems and Asymptotic Analyses on Population Dynamics
(2022-09-09)In my PhD thesis, I use simplified mathematical models to study emergent phenomena of various biological systems. In Chapter 1, I give an overview of how the tools from theoretical physics and applied math may help understand ... -
Coarse-to-Fine Attention Models for Document Summarization
(2017-07-14)While humans are naturally able to produce high-level summaries upon reading paragraphs of text, computers still find such a task enormously difficult. Despite progress over the years, the general problem of document ... -
Coase versus the Coasians
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2001-08-01)Who should enforce laws or contracts: judges or regulators? Many Coasians, though not Coase himself, advocate judicial enforcement. We show that the incentives facing judges and regulators crucially shape this choice. We ... -
Coastal Lithofacies and Biofacies Associated with Syndepositional Dolomitization and Silicification (Draken Formation, Upper Riphean, Svalbard)
(Elsevier, 1991)The Draken Formation (120-250 m) of northeast Spitsbergen (Svalbard) forms part of a thick Upper Proterozoic carbonate platform succession. It consists predominantly of intraformational dolomitic conglomerates, with excellent ... -
Coastal paleogeography of the California–Oregon–Washington and Bering Sea continental shelves during the latest Pleistocene and Holocene: implications for the archaeological record
(Elsevier, 2014)Sea-level rise during the last deglaciation and through the Holocene was influenced by deformational, gravitational, and rotational effects (henceforth glacial isostatic adjustment, GIA) that led to regional departures ... -
Coat Color Variation in Rock Pocket Mice (Chaetodipus intermedins): from Genotype to Phenotype
(University of California Press, 2005) -
Coated and uncoated cellophane as materials for microplates and open-channel microfluidics devices
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)This communication describes the use of uncoated cellophane (regenerated cellulose films) for the fabrication of microplates, and the use of coated cellophane for the fabrication of open-channel microfluidic devices. The ... -
Coaxial atomic force microscope probes for imaging with dielectrophoresis
(AIP Publishing, 2011)We demonstrate atomic force microscope(AFM) imaging using dielectrophoresis(DEP) with coaxial probes. DEP provides force contrast allowing coaxial probes to image with enhanced spatial resolution. We model a coaxial probe ... -
Coaxial Atomic Force Microscope Tweezers
(American Institute of Physics, 2010)We demonstrate coaxial atomic force microscope (AFM) tweezers that can trap and place small objects using dielectrophoresis (DEP). An attractive force is generated at the tip of a coaxial AFM probe by applying a radio ... -
Coaxial multishell nanowires with high-quality electronic interfaces and tunable optical cavities for ultrathin photovoltaics
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012)Silicon nanowires (NWs) could enable low-cost and efficient photovoltaics, though their performance has been limited by nonideal electrical characteristics and an inability to tune absorption properties. We overcome these ... -
Cocaine Enhances DC to T-cell HIV-1 Transmission by Activating DC-SIGN/LARG/LSP1 Complex and Facilitating Infectious Synapse Formation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)DC-SIGN is a dendritic cell surface structure which participates in binding and transmission of HIV-1. Here, for the first time we demonstrate that cocaine induces over expression of DC-SIGN and significantly enhances virus ...
