Executive Function, Visual Attention and the Cocktail Party Problem in Musicians and Non-Musicians
(Public Library of Science, 2016)The goal of this study was to investigate how cognitive factors influence performance in a multi-talker, “cocktail-party” like environment in musicians and non-musicians. This was achieved by relating performance in a ... -
Exercise-Induced Bone Formation Is Poorly Linked to Local Strain Magnitude in the Sheep Tibia
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Functional interpretations of limb bone structure frequently assume that diaphyses adjust their shape by adding bone primarily across the plane in which they are habitually loaded in order to minimize loading-induced ... -

Existence of Equilibrium in Large Double Auctions
(Elsevier, 2007)We show the existence of a pure strategy, symmetric, increasing equilibrium in dou- ble auction markets with correlated, conditionally independent private values and many participants. The equilibrium we find is arbitrarily ... -
Exit Options in Corporate Finance: Liquidity versus Incentives
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2004)This paper provides a first study of the optimal design of active monitors' exit options in a problem involving a demand for liquidity and costly monitoring of the issuer. Optimal incentives to monitor the issuer may involve ... -
Exit the Frog, Enter the Human: Physiology and Experimental Psychology in Nineteenth-Century Astronomy
(Cambridge University Press, 2001)This paper deals with one of the first attempts to measure simple reactions in humans. The Swiss astronomer Adolph Hirsch investigated personal differences in the speed of sensory transmission in order to achieve accuracy ... -
Exite2 Observation of the Sigma Source Grs 1227+025
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)We report the second-generation Energetic X-Ray Imaging Telescope Experiment (EXITE2) hard X-ray imaging of the sky around 3C 273. A 2 hr observation on 1997 May 8 shows a similar to260 mcrab source detected at similar to4 ... -
Exome Sequencing Identifies a Novel TRPV4 Mutation in a CMT2C Family
(American Academy of Neurology, 2013-07-05) -
Exoplanet Characterization by Proxy: A Transiting 2.15 R⊕ Planet Near the Habitable Zone of the Late K Dwarf Kepler-61
(IOP Publishing, 2013)We present the validation and characterization of Kepler-61b: a 2.15 R ⊕ planet orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of a low-mass star. Our characterization of the host star Kepler-61 is based upon a comparison ... -
EXOSAT X-ray spectra of quasars
(IOP Publishing, 1992)Measurements of the X-ray spectra in the 0.1-10-keV energy range for 17 AGN (mostly PG quasars) using the Exosat Low and Medium Energy arrays are presented. For each object, the best-fit spectral parameters in the medium-energy ... -
Exosomal sorting of the viral oncoprotein LMP1 is restrained by TRAF2 association at signalling endosomes
(Co-Action Publishing, 2015)The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-encoded oncoprotein latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) constitutively activates nuclear factor κB (NFκB) from intracellular membranes to promote cell growth and survival. LMP1 associates with ... -
Exothermic double-disk dark matter
(IOP Publishing, 2013)If a subdominant component of dark matter (DM) interacts via long-range dark force carriers it may cool and collapse to form complex structures within the Milky Way galaxy, such as a rotating dark disk. This scenario was ... -
Expanded redox accessibility via ligand substitution in an octahedral Fe6Br6 cluster
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011)Oxidation of the nominally all-ferrous hexanuclear cluster (HL)2Fe6 with six equivalents of ferrocenium in the presence of bromide ions results in a six-electron oxidation of the Fe6 core to afford the nominally all-ferric ... -
Expanded view of the ecological genomics of ant responses to climate change
Ecological genomics provides a window into potential responses of organisms to environmental change. Given the abundance, broad distribution and diversity of roles that ants play in many ecosystems, they are an ideal group ... -
Expanding Language and Cultural Competence in Advanced Heritage- and Foreign-Language Learners through Community Engagement and Work with the Arts
(Center for World Languages of UCLA, UC Consortium for Language Learning and Teaching, 2013)The purpose of this article is to describe the methodology and pedagogical practices of an advanced language course, Spanish and the Community, that addresses the strengths and needs of both Spanish heritage language ... -
Expanding protein universe and its origin from the biological Big Bang
(National Academy of Sciences, 2002)The bottom-up approach to understanding the evolution of organisms is by studying molecular evolution. With the large number of protein structures identified in the past decades, we have discovered peculiar patterns that ... -
Expanding Stereochemical and Skeletal Diversity Using Petasis Reactions and 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions
(American Chemical Society, 2010)A short and modular synthetic pathway using intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions and yielding functionalized isoxazoles, isoxazolines, and isoxazolidines is described. The change in shape of previous compounds ... -
Expanding the genetic editing tool kit: ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR-Cas9
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2014)The past decade has been one of rapid innovation in genome-editing technology. The opportunity now exists for investigators to manipulate virtually any gene in a diverse range of cell types and organisms with targeted ...
