Naut your everyday jellyfish model: exploring how tentacles and oral arms impact locomotion

Miles, Jason G.; Battista, Nicholas (MDPI, 2019-09-10)

Jellyfish are majestic, energy-efficient, and one of the oldest species that inhabit the oceans. It is perhaps the second item, their efficiency, that has captivated scientists for decades into investigating their locomotive ...

Needed: Improved Collaboration among Subject Librarians

Tucci, Valerie; Clemens, Claire A. (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2012)

A New Method for Spectral Decomposition Using a Bilinear Bayesian Approach

Ochs, Michael F.; Stoyanova, R.S.; Arias-Mendoza, F.; Brown, T.R. (Elsevier, 1999)

A frequent problem in analysis is the need to find two matrices, closely related to the underlying measurement process, which when multiplied together reproduce the matrix of data points. Such problems arise throughout ...

A New Monofluorinated Phosphatidylcholine Forms Interdigitated Bilayers

Hirsh, Donald J.; Lazaro, Nancy; Wright, Lee R.; Boggs, Joan M.; McIntosh, Thomas J.; Schaefer, Jacob; Blazyk, Jack (Biophysical Society, 1998-10)

16-Fluoropalmitic acid was synthesized from 16-hydroxypalmitic acid using diethylaminosulfur trifluoride. This monofluorinated fatty acid then was used to make 1-palmitoyl-2-[16-fluoropalmitoyl]-phosphatidylcholine (F-DPPC) ...

A New Route to the Acridizinium Ion

Bradsher, Charles K.; Hunt, David A. (American Chemical Society, 1980)

The Next Generation Integrated Library System: A Promise Fulfilled?

Wang, Yongming; Dawes, Trevor A. (Library & Information Technology Association, 2012)

The adoption of integrated library systems (ILS) became prevalent in the 1980s and 1990s as libraries began or continued to automate their processes. These systems enabled library staff to work, in many cases, more efficiently ...

NF‐κB and stat3 transcription factor signatures differentiate HPV‐positive and HPV‐negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Gaykalova, Daria A.; Manola, Judith B.; Ozawa, Hiroyuki; Zizkova, Veronika; Morton, Kathryn; Bishop, Justin A.; Sharma, Rajni; Zhang, Chi; Michailidi, Christina; Considine, Michael; Tan, Marietta; Fertig, Elana J.; Hennessey, Patrick T.; Ahn, Julie; Koch, Wayne M.; Westra, William H.; Khan, Zubair; Chung, Christine H.; Ochs, Michael F.; Califano, Joseph A. (Wiley, 2015)

Using high-throughput analyses and the TRANSFAC database, we characterized TF signatures of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) subgroups by inferential analysis of target gene expression, correcting for the ...

Non-amenable type K equations over groups

Clifford, Andrew (Cambridge University Press, 2003)

We define a class of equations that are not amenable but are type K and are therefore solvable over torsion-free groups. Moreover, we show that these new equations are solvable over all groups.

Note: Sensitivity enhancement in continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance: Adaptive signal averaging versus a moving average

Brinton, Christopher G.; Hirsh, Donald J. (American Institute of Physics, 2/2/2010)

A novel COVID-19 epidemiological model with explicit susceptible and asymptomatic isolation compartments reveals unexpected consequences of timing social distancing

Gevertz, Jana L.; Greene, James M.; Sanchez-Tapia, Cynthia H.; Sontag, Eduardo D. (Elsevier, 2021-02)

Motivated by the current COVID-19 epidemic, this work introduces an epidemiological model in which separate compartments are used for susceptible and asymptomatic “socially distant” populations. Distancing directives are ...

A Novel Cross-Disciplinary Multi-Institute Approach to Translational Cancer Research: Lessons Learned from Pennsylvania Cancer Alliance Bioinformatics Consortium (PCABC)

Ochs, Michael F.; Patel, Ashokkumar A.; Gilbertson, John R.; Showe, Louise C.; London, Jack W.; Ross, Eric; Carver, Joseph; Lazarus, Andrea; Parwani, Anil V.; Dhir, Rajiv; Beck, J. Robert; Liebman, Michael; Garcia, Fernando U.; Prichard, Jeff; Wilkerson, Myra; Heberman, Ronald B.; Becich, Michael J.; Pennsylvania Cancer Alliance Bioinformatics Consortium (PCABC) (Libertas Academica, 2007)

Background: The Pennsylvania Cancer Alliance Bioinformatics Consortium (PCABC, http://www.pcabc.upmc.edu) is one of the first major project-based initiatives stemming from the Pennsylvania Cancer Alliance that was funded ...

Novel fractal electrode geometries for efficient deep brain stimulation of neural tissue

Iyengar, Naina; DeMaria, Andrew H.; Wei, Xuefeng (2014)

Novel Insight into Mutational Landscape of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Ochs, Michael F.; Gaykalova, Daria A.; Mambo, Elizabeth; Choudhary, Ashish; Houghton, Jeffery; Buddavarapu, Kalyan; Sanford, Tiffany; Darden, Will; Adai, Alex; Hadd, Andrew; Latham, Gary; Danilova, Ludmila V.; Bishop, Justin A.; Li, Ryan J.; Westra, William H.; Hennessey, Patrick T.; Koch, Wayne M.; Califano, Joseph A.; Sun, Wenyue (Public Library of Science, 2014)

Development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by accumulation of mutations in several oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. We have formerly described the mutation pattern of HNSCC and ...
