Zalmoxidae (Arachnida: Opiliones: Laniatores) of the Paleotropics: a catalogue of Southeast Asian and Indo-Pacific species
(Magnolia Press, 2011)A revised catalogue of the Paleotropical Zalmoxidae including images of selected available type specimens is presented. Distribution data are provided to the best of our knowledge. The genera Acrozalmoxis Roewer, 1915, ... -
ZBED6 Modulates the Transcription of Myogenic Genes in Mouse Myoblast Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2014)ZBED6 is a recently discovered transcription factor, unique to placental mammals, that has evolved from a domesticated DNA transposon. It acts as a repressor at the IGF2 locus. Here we show that ZBED6 acts as a transcriptional ... -
Zebrafish Globin Switching Occurs in Two Developmental Stages and Is Controlled by the LCR
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Globin gene switching is a complex, highly regulated process allowing expression of distinct globin genes at specific developmental stages. Here, for the first time, we have characterized all of the zebrafish globins based ... -
A zebrafish model of conditional targeted podocyte ablation and regeneration
(2013)Podocytes are specialized cells that contribute critically to the normal structure and function of the glomerular filtration barrier. Their depletion plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glomerulosclerosis. Here, ... -

Zeeman Relaxation of CaF in Low-Temperature Collisions with Helium
(American Physical Society (APS), 2005)The collision-induced Zeeman relaxation rate for collisions of CaF X2Σ (v00 = 0) with 3He is measured to be ΓZ = (7.7 + 5.4/ − 2.5) × 10−15 cm3 /s at 2 K. This rate is a direct measurement of the influence of spin-rotation ... -
Zeeman Relaxation of Cold Atomic Iron and Nickel in Collisions with \(^3\)He
(American Physical Society, 2010)We have measured the ratio γ of the diffusion cross section to the angular momentum reorientation cross section in the colliding Fe-\(^3\)He and Ni-\(^3\)He systems. Nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe) atoms are introduced via laser ... -
Zeeman spectroscopy of CaH molecules in a magnetic trap
(AIP Publishing, 1999)In a recent experiment [Weinstein et al., Nature 395, 148 (1998)] we magnetically trapped 108108ground-statecalcium monohydride molecules, CaH(X2Σ,v″=0,J″=0).CaH(X 2Σ,v″=0, J″=0). The molecules were prepared by laser ... -

Zero-Bias Anomaly in a Nanowire Quantum Dot Coupled to Superconductors
(American Physical Society, 2012)We studied the low-energy states of spin-1/2 quantum dots defined in InAs/InP nanowires and coupled to aluminum superconducting leads. By varying the superconducting gap \(\Delta\) with a magnetic field B we investigated ... -
Zhanhuo Xia De Jiyi Zhengzhi: Jinmen, 1949-2008 [The Politics of Memory in a Geopolitical Flashpoint: Jinmen (Quemoy)]
(National Taiwan University, 2009)In 1949, the small island of Kinmen (Quemoy) in the Taiwan Strait became the front line in the military standoff between Chiang Kai-shek’s Republic of China on Taiwan and Mao Zedong’s People’s Republic, a flashpoint of ... -
Zika virus evolution and spread in the Americas
(SpringerNature, 2017)Despite great attention given to the recent Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic in the Americas, much remains unknown about its epidemiology and evolution, in part due to a lack of genomic data. We applied multiple sequencing ... -

Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (Zeit) Iii: A Short-Period Planet Orbiting a Pre-Main-Sequence Star in the Upper Scorpius Ob Association
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)We confirm and characterize a close-in (Porb = 5.425 days), super-Neptune sized (5.04+0.34 −0.37 R⊕) planet transiting K2-33 (2MASS J16101473-1919095), a late-type (M3) pre-main sequence (11 Myr-old) star in the Upper ... -
Zooming in on accretion – I. The structure of halo gas
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)We study the properties of gas in and around 1012 M⊙ haloes at z = 2 using a suite of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic ‘zoom’ simulations. We quantify the thermal and dynamical structure of these gaseous reservoirs ... -
Zooming in on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae with the HST
(IOP Publishing, 2015)We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) rest-frame ultraviolet imaging of the host galaxies of 16 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 11 events from the Pan-STARRS Medium Deep Survey. Taking advantage ... -

α-Actinin-4 Is Required for Normal Podocyte Adhesion
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007)Mutations in the alpha-actinin-4 gene ACTN4 cause an autosomal dominant human kidney disease. Mice deficient in alpha-actinin-4 develop a recessive phenotype characterized by kidney failure, proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, ...
