A Comparative Study of Bishop Joseph Butler and Wang Yang-ming's Conception of Conscience
This dissertation is a comparative study of the Anglican Bishop Joseph Butler's (1692-1752 AD) and the Neo-Confucianist Wang Yang-ming's (1472-1529 AD) conception of conscience (or in Wang's terminology, liang-chih. ... -
A Comparison of Co-stimulatory HVEM Domains in Second Generation CAR-T Cells
(2022-10-05)Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) are T cells that have been genetically modified to express a receptor that recognizes a specific target molecule. When T cells bind to their target molecule, usually a surface ... -
A Comparison of Different Methods for Evaluating Diet, Physical Activity, and Long-Term Weight Gain in 3 Prospective Cohort Studies
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Background: The insidious pace of long-term weight gain (similar to 1 lb/y or 0.45 kg/y) makes it difficult to study in trials; long-term prospective cohorts provide crucial evidence on its key contributors. Most previous ... -
A Comparison of Heritability Maps of Cortical Surface Area and Thickness and the Influence of Adjustment for Whole Brain Measures: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Twin Study
(BMC, 2012)Understanding the genetic and environmental contributions to measures of brain structure such as surface area and cortical thickness is important for a better understanding of the nature of brain-behavior relationships and ... -
A Comparison of the Clinical and Cost-Effectiveness of 3 Intervention Strategies for AIDS Wasting
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2005)Objective: To compare oxandrolone (OX) or strength training with nutrition alone (NA) for AIDS wasting.Subjects: Fifty patients with AIDS; 47 completing the study. Interventions: Randomization to (1) NA with placebo pills, ... -
A COMPLETE Look at the Use of IRAS Emission Maps to Estimate Extinction and Dust Temperature
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)We have created new dust temperature and column density maps of Perseus, Ophiuchus, and Serpens using 60 and 100 mu m data from the Improved Reprocessing of the IRAS Survey ( IRIS) recalibration of Infrared Astronomical ... -
A Complex of the Bacteriophage T7 Primase-Helicase and DNA Polymerase Directs Primer Utilization
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2001) -
A comprehensive collection of experimentally validated primers for Polymerase Chain Reaction quantitation of murine transcript abundance
(BMC, 2008)Background: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) is a widely applied analytical method for the accurate determination of transcript abundance. Primers for QPCR have been designed on a genomic scale but non-specific ... -
A Comprehensive Design and Policy Toolkit to Better Serve Survivors of Domestic Violence in New York City: Learning from Covid-19
(2021-01-28)The unprecedented crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought into the limelight what many have unfortunately already known to be true, that times of extreme change, urgency, and tension too often correlate to a rise in ... -
A Computational Approach for Detailed Quantification of Mouse Parenting Behavior
(2022-05-23)A major aim of neuroscience is understanding the brain circuitry underlying observable behaviors. Recently, an increasing number of tools have allowed researchers to investigate brain circuitry in unprecedented ways. ... -
A Computational Approach to Analysis and Control\\of the Mammalian Circadian Oscillator
(2018-05-11)Circadian rhythms, endogenous, entrainable, near-24 h oscillations in metabolism, are a nearly ubiquitous feature of life on Earth. Circadian rhythms function as a feedforward biological control system that reorganizes ... -
A Conserved Motif in Region V of the Large Polymerase Proteins of Nonsegmented Negative-Sense RNA Viruses That Is Essential for mRNA Capping
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008)Nonsegmented negative-sense (NNS) RNA viruses cap their mRNA by an unconventional mechanism. Specifically, 5 ' monophosphate mRNA is transferred to GDP derived from GTP through a reaction that involves a covalent intermediate ... -
A Conserved Motif within the Vitamin K-dependent Carboxylase Gene Is Widely Distributed across Animal Phyla

A constrained transport scheme for MHD on unstructured static and moving meshes
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Magnetic fields play an important role in many astrophysical systems and a detailed understanding of their impact on the gas dynamics requires robust numerical simulations. Here we present a new method to evolve the ideal ... -
A cool starspot or a second transiting planet in the TrES-1 system?
(EDP Sciences, 2009)Aims. We investigate the origin of a flux increase found during a transit of TrES-1, observed with the HST (Hubble Space Telescope). This feature in the HST light curve cannot be attributed to noise and is supposedly a ... -

A Cosmological Framework for the Co‐evolution of Quasars, Supermassive Black Holes, and Elliptical Galaxies. II. Formation of Red Ellipticals
(American Astronomical Society, 2008-04)We develop and test a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the formation and quenching of red, early-type galaxies. By combining theoretically well-constrained halo and subhalo mass functions as a function of ... -
