Unsettling the South: War, Expansion, and Slavery in the Southern United States, 1780-1840
(2014-10-21)
"Unsettling the South" is a history of the first half-century of US expansion in the southern interior. It traces how debt, land sales, road building, war making, and migration transformed the United States from an indebted ...
Application of noble gas isotopic systems to identify mantle heterogeneities
(2014-10-21)
This study addresses the origin of the combined He-Ne-Ar-Xe noble gas isotopic variation in mantle derived oceanic basalts. High precision heavy noble gas compositions of basalts from the Rochambeau Rift along the Northwestern ...
Iran's Situations: Military Violence, Protests, and Group Dynamics
(2014-10-21)
Iran is a country with a rich history of successful social movements and not so successful ones. The two most recent ones---1979 and 2009---set up a very unique puzzle that sheds some light not only on the factors of ...
Regulation and Programming of Antibody Effector Function through IgG Glycosylation
(2014-10-21)
Antibodies are the defining characteristic of the humoral immune response. Their functions are diverse, including direct neutralization of pathogens and recruitment of other immune molecules or cells. While most successful ...
Infants' and toddlers' reasoning about others: Connections to prosocial development and language
(2014-10-21)
Often overlooked in the study of theory of mind (ToM) development, the understanding of motivational states, such as goals and desires, is both an important capacity in its own right and also a likely precursor to more ...
Flight Control of a Millimeter-Scale Flapping-Wing Robot
(2014-10-21)
Flying insects display remarkable maneuverability. Unlike typical airplanes, these insects are able to execute an evasive action, rapidly change their flight speed and direction, or leisurely land on flowers buffeted by ...
Trafficking and Turnover in Neuronal Axons
(2014-10-21)
Neurons are metabolically active cells that depend on mitochondria for ATP production and calcium homeostasis. Within a single neuron, the demand for mitochondrial function is highly variable both spatially and temporally. ...
Oxidative Assembly of the Outer Membrane Lipopolysaccharide Translocon LptD/E and Progress towards Its X-Ray Crystal Structure
(2014-10-21)
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the glycolipid that comprises the outer leaflet of the Gram-negative outer membrane (OM). Because it is essential in nearly all Gram-negative species, and because it is responsible for making ...
Identification of an Antiviral Signaling Variant Demonstrates Immune Regulation Through Alternative Translation
(2014-10-21)
Innate immune signaling pathways initiate host defenses against viral pathogens. Receptors specific for viral nucleic acids activate these pathways culminating in cell-to-cell communication and/or cell death. In mammals, ...
Political Responses to Educational Performance Data
(2014-10-21)
Researchers have found considerable evidence that information about school performance affects people's choices about which schools to send their children to and even where to live. In contrast, little attention has been ...
