The Link between Social Cognition and Self-referential Thought in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex
(MIT Press, 2005)The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been implicated in seemingly disparate cognitive functions, such as understanding the minds of other people and processing information about the self. This functional overlap would ... -
Linking biomechanics and ecology through predator-prey interactions: flight performance of dragonflies and their prey
(The Company of Biologists, 2012)Aerial predation is a highly complex, three-dimensional flight behavior that affects the individual fitness and population dynamics of both predator and prey. Most studies of predation adopt either an ecological approach ... -
Linking chemical reactivity, magic numbers, and local electronic properties of clusters
(American Physical Society, 1999)The interplay of local energetics, local electron occupancies, and local density of states is the key to the understanding of chemical reactivity. We define local measures, within a nonorthogonal tight-binding scheme, which ... -
Linking Flux Network Measurements to Continental Scale Simulations: Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Exchange Capacity under Non-Water-Stressed Conditions
(Blackwell Science, 2007)This paper examines long-term eddy covariance data from 18 European and 17 North American and Asian forest, wetland, tundra, grassland, and cropland sites under non-water-stressed conditions with an empirical rectangular ... -
Linking Genetic Diversity and Morphological Disparity: Biodiversity Assessment of a Highly Unexplored Family of Harvestmen (Arachnida : Opiliones : Neopilionidae) in New Zealand
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014)In Opiliones, one of the largest orders within the class Arachnida, with more than 6000 described species, sexual dimorphism can be widespread and exaggerated. This great variety of forms of gender-based dimorphism suggests ... -
Linking Hydrothermal Geochemistry to Organismal Physiology: Physiological Versatility in Riftia pachyptila from Sedimented and Basalt-hosted Vents
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2011)Much of what is known regarding Riftia pachyptila physiology is based on the wealth of studies of tubeworms living at diffuse flows along the fast-spreading, basalt-hosted East Pacific Rise (EPR). These studies have ... -
Linking International Agricultural Research Knowledge with Action for Sustainable Development
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)We applied an innovation framework to sustainable livestock development research projects in Africa and Asia. The focus of these projects ranged from pastoral systems to poverty and ecosystems services mapping to market ... -
Linking Language and Events: Spatiotemporal Cues Drive Children’s Expectations About the Meanings of Novel Transitive Verbs
(Informa UK Limited, 2016)How do children map linguistic representations onto the conceptual structures that they encode? In the present studies, we provided 3-4 year old children with minimal-pair scene contrasts in order to determine the effect ... -
Linking Meaning to Language: Linguistic Universals and Variation
(Cognitive Science Society, 2010)To use natural language, speakers must map the participants in events or states in the world onto grammatical roles. There remains considerable disagreement about the nature of these so-called linking rules (Levin & Rappaport ... -
Linking Optical and Infrared Observations with Gravitational Wave Sources Through Variability
(Institute of Physics, 2008)Optical and infrared observations have thus far detected more celestial cataclysms than have been seen in gravity waves (GW). This argues that we should search for gravity wave signatures that correspond to flux variability ... -
Linking ozone pollution and climate change: The case for controlling methane
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2002)Methane (CH4) emission controls are found to be a powerful lever for reducing both global warming and air pollution via decreases in background tropospheric ozone (O3). Reducing anthropogenic CH4 emissions by 50% nearly ... -
Linking Thought Suppression and Recovered Memories of Childhood Sexual Abuse
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)There are two types of recovered memories: those that gradually return in recovered memory therapy and those that are spontaneously recovered outside the context of therapy. In the current study, we employed a thought ... -
Linking Type Ia Supernova Progenitors and Their Resulting Explosions
(American Astronomical Society, 2012)Comparing the ejecta velocities at maximum brightness and narrow circumstellar/interstellar Na D absorption line profiles of a sample of 23 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we determine that the properties of SN Ia progenitor ... -
Links Between Annual, Milankovitch and Continuum Temperature Variability
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)Climate variability exists at all timescales—and climatic processes are intimately coupled, so that understanding variability at any one timescale requires some understanding of the whole. Records of the Earth's surface ... -
Links from Mantle to Microbe at the Lau Integrated Study Site: Insights from a Back-Arc Spreading Center
(The Oceanography Society, 2012)The Lau Integrated Study Site (ISS) has provided unique opportunities for study of ridge processes because of its back-arc setting in the southwestern Pacific. Its location allows study of a biogeographical province distinct ... -
Links that speak: The global language network and its association with global fame
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014)Languages vary enormously in global importance because of historical, demographic, political, and technological forces. However, beyond simple measures of population and economic power, there has been no rigorous quantitative ... -
Lipid Availability Determines Skeletal Progenitor Cell Fate via SOX9
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-26)The avascular nature of cartilage makes it a unique tissue, but whether and how the absence of nutrient supply regulates chondrogenesis remains unknown. Here, we show that obstruction of vascular invasion during bone healing ... -
A Lipid Receptor Sorts Polyomavirus from the Endolysosome to the Endoplasmic Reticulum to Cause Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2009)The mechanisms by which receptors guide intracellular virus transport are poorly characterized. The murine polyomavirus (Py) binds to the lipid receptor ganglioside GD1a and traffics to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where ... -
Lipid-Protein Interactions in Double-Layered Two-Dimensional AQP0 Crystals
(Nature Publishing Group, 2005)Lens-specific aquaporin-0 (AQP0) functions as a specific water pore and forms the thin junctions between fibre cells. We describe a 1.9 Å resolution structure of junctional AQP0, determined by electron crystallography of ... -
Lipopolysaccharide transport to the cell surface: biosynthesis and extraction from the inner membrane
(The Royal Society, 2015)The cell surface of most Gram-negative bacteria is covered with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The network of charges and sugars provided by the dense packing of LPS molecules in the outer leaflet of the outer membrane interferes ...
