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 ... -
Expanding the Scope of Control and Raising
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)This paper presents unusual patterns in raising and control and offers a syntactic account which would validate such patterns. On the empirical side, we present evidence for backward control (data from several languages), ... -
Expansion of Biological Pathways Based on Evolutionary Inference
(Elsevier BV, 2014)The availability of diverse genomes makes it possible to predict gene function based on shared evolutionary history. This approach can be challenging, however, for pathways whose components do not exhibit a shared history ... -
Expansion of Diplopterys at the Expense of Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae)
(Harvard University Herbaria, 2006)Phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological data have shown the genus <i>Banisteriopsis</i> to be polyphyletic and the genus <i>Diplopterys</i> to be nested within <i>Banisteriopsis</i> subg. <i>Pleiopterys</i>, ... -
The Expansion of Due Process in Organizations

The expansion of tree plantations across tropical biomes
(Research Square Platform LLC, 2021-06-22)Across the tropics, recent agricultural shifts have led to a rapid expansion of tree plantations, often into intact forests and grasslands. However, this expansion is poorly characterized. Here we report tropical tree ... -
ExPASy: SIB bioinformatics resource portal
(Oxford University Press, 2012)ExPASy (http://www.expasy.org) has worldwide reputation as one of the main bioinformatics resources for proteomics. It has now evolved, becoming an extensible and integrative portal accessing many scientific resources, ... -
Expectation Value of the Lowest of a Set of Randomly Selected Integers
(1998)Consider the set of positive integers 0, 1, 2, ..., D. If we pick N of them at random, where N < (D+1), what is the expectation (or average value) of the lowest-valued of the N picks? We briefly describe the image database ...
