      Doolittle, W Ford; Fraser, Peter; Gerstein, Mark B; Graveley, Brenton R; Henikoff, Steven; Huttenhower, Curtis; Oshlack, Alicia; Ponting, Chris P; Rinn, John L; Schatz, Michael C; Ule, Jernej; Weigel, Detlef; Weinstock, George M (BioMed Central, 2013)
      Sixty years after Watson and Crick published the double helix model of DNA's structure, thirteen members of Genome Biology's Editorial Board select key advances in the field of genome biology subsequent to that discovery.

    • Size and Charge Effects on Crossover of Flow Battery Reactants Evaluated by Quinone Permeabilities Through Nafion 

      George, Thomas Y.; Kerr, Emily F.; Haya, Naphtal O.; Alfaraidi, Abdulrahman M.; Gordon, Roy G.; Aziz, Michael (The Electrochemical Society, 2023-04-01)
      Organic reactants are promising candidates for long-lifetime redox flow batteries, and synthetic chemistry unlocks a wide design space for new molecules. Minimizing crossover of these molecules through ion exchange membranes ...

    • The Size and Incidence of the Losses from Noise Trading 

      De Long, J. Bradford; Shleifer, Andrei; Summers, Lawrence H.; Waldmann, Robert J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 1989)
      Recent empirical research has identified a significant amount of volatility in stock prices that cannot be easily explained by changes in fundamentals; one interpretation is that asset prices respond not only to news but ...

    • Size limits of self-assembled colloidal structures made using specific interactions 

      Zeravcic, Zorana; Manoharan, Vinothan N.; Brenner, Michael P. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014)
      We establish size limitations for assembling structures of controlled size and shape out of colloidal particles with short-ranged interactions. Through simulations we show that structures with highly variable shapes made ...

    • The Size of Countries: Does it Matter? 

      Alesina, Alberto (MIT Press, 2003)
      Borders are a man-made institution, and as such their shape cannot be taken as part of the physical landscape. The size of countries is endogenous to politico-economic forces. This paper discusses recent efforts by economists ...

    • Size-dependent surface luminescence in ZnO nanowires 

      Shalish, Ilan; Temkin, Henryk; Narayanamurti, Venkatesh (American Physical Society, 2004)
      Nanometer sized whiskers (nanowires) offer a vehicle for the study of size-dependent phenomena. While quantum-size effects are commonly expected and easily predicted, size reduction also causes more atoms to be closer to ...

    • Sizing Up the Sub-Tommotian Unconformity in Siberia 

      Knoll, Andrew; Kaufman, Alan J.; Semikhatov, Mikhail A.; Grotzinger, John P.; Adams, William (Geological Society of America, 1995)
      Sedimentary rocks in the western Anabar region, northwestern Siberia, preserve an exceptional record of evolution and biogeochemical events near the Proterozoic-Cambrian boundary. Carbon isotopic data on petrographically ...

    • Skating on a Film of Air: Drops Impacting on a Surface 

      Kolinski, John M.; Rubinstein, Shmuel M.; Mandre, Shreyas; Brenner, Michael P.; Weitz, David A.; Mahadevan, L. (American Physical Society, 2012)
      The commonly accepted description of drops impacting on a surface typically ignores the essential role of the air that is trapped between the impacting drop and the surface. Here we describe a new imaging modality that is ...

    • Skeletal gene expression in the temporal region of the reptilian embryos: implications for the evolution of reptilian skull morphology 

      Tokita, Masayoshi; Chaeychomsri, Win; Siruntawineti, Jindawan (Springer International Publishing, 2013)
      Reptiles have achieved highly diverse morphological and physiological traits that allow them to exploit various ecological niches and resources. Morphology of the temporal region of the reptilian skull is highly diverse ...

    • Skeletal Muscle Shape Change in Relation to Varying Force Requirements Across Locomotor Conditions 

      Biewener, Andrew; Konow, Nicolai; Collias, Alexandra (Frontiers Media SA, 2020-03-20)
      Contractions of skeletal muscles to generate in vivo movement involve dynamic changes in contractile and elastic tissue strains that likely interact to influence the force and work of a muscle. However, studies of the in ...

    • Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells: Effects of Aging and Metabolism on Muscle Regenerative Function 

      Jang, Y. C.; Sinha, M.; Cerletti, M.; Dall, C.; Wagers, Amy Jo (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2011)
      Homeostatic and regenerative replacement of skeletal muscle fibers requires the activity of a dedicated pool of myogenic stem cells, called satellite cells, that are activated by muscle injury and act as a renewable source ...

    • Skeletal Pathology in Pan Troglodytes Schweinfurthii in Kibale National Park, Uganda 

      Carter, Melinda L.; Pontzer, Herman; Wrangham, Richard W.; Peterhans, Julian Kerbis (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)
      The ecological pressures shaping chimpanzee anatomy and behavior are the subject of much discussion in primatology and paleoanthropology, yet empirical data on fundamental parameters including body size, morbidity, and ...
