Extreme Liquid Superheating and Homogeneous Bubble Nucleation in a Solid State Nanopore
(2016-05-05)This thesis explains how extreme superheating and single bubble nucleation can be achieved in an electrolytic solution within a solid state nanopore. A highly focused ionic current, induced to flow through the pore by ... -
Extreme Resistance of Bdelloid Rotifers to Ionizing Radiation
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2008)Rotifers of class Bdelloidea are common invertebrate animals with highly unusual characteristics, including apparently obligate asexuality, the ability to resume reproduction after desiccation at any life stage, and a ... -
Extreme sacrifice: sudden cardiac death in the US Fire Service
(BioMed Central, 2013)Firefighting is a hazardous profession which has claimed on average the lives of 105 US firefighters per year for the past decade. The leading cause of line-of-duty mortality is sudden cardiac death, which accounts for ... -
The Extreme Spin of the Black Hole in Cygnus X-1
(IOP Publishing, 2011)The compact primary in the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 was the first black hole to be established via dynamical observations. We have recently determined accurate values for its mass and distance, and for the orbital inclination ... -
Extreme Temperatures and Mortality: Assessing Effect Modification by Personal Characteristics and Specific Cause of Death in a Multi-City Case-Only Analysis
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2006)Background: Extremes of temperature are associated with short-term increases in daily mortality. Objectives: We set out to identify subpopulations and mortality causes with increased susceptibility to temperature extremes. ... -
Extremely durable biofouling-resistant metallic surfaces based on electrodeposited nanoporous tungstite films on steel
(Nature Pub. Group, 2015)Formation of unwanted deposits on steels during their interaction with liquids is an inherent problem that often leads to corrosion, biofouling and results in reduction in durability and function. Here we report a new route ... -
An extremely energetic supernova from a very massive star in a dense medium

An Extremely Stable and Soluble NH2-Substituted Anthraquinone Electrolyte for Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-12-14) -
Extremely Stable Anthraquinone Negolytes Synthesized from Common Precursors
(Elsevier BV, 2020-06)Synthetic cost and long-term stability remain two of the most challenging barriers for the utilization of redox-active organic molecules in redox flow batteries for grid scale energy storage. Starting from potentially ... -
An Extremely Stable, Highly Soluble Monosubstituted Anthraquinone for Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries
(Wiley, 2023-01-24)An extremely stable, energy‐dense (53.6 Ah L<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>, 2 <jats:sc>m</jats:sc> transferrable electrons), low crossover (permeability of <1 × 10<jats:sup>−13</jats:sup> cm<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> s<jats:sup> ... -
Extremely Stretchable and Fast Self-Healing Hydrogels
(Wiley, 2016-04-09)Dynamic crosslinking of extremely stretchable hydrogels with rapid self-healing ability is described. Using this new strategy, the obtained hydrogels are able to elongate 100 times compared to their initial length and to ... -
Extremism and Social Learning
(2007)When members of deliberating groups speak with one another, their predeliberation tendencies often become exacerbated as their views become more extreme. The resulting phenomenon—group polarization—has been observed in ... -
Extricating Sycorax From the Tempest's Baseless Fabric
(2017-03-30)Sycorax, although dead in The Tempest, continues to be disinterred like a centuries-old cold case. The intrigue that one dead witch generates has transcended time and scrutiny. This thesis examines the mental power struggle ... -
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Impacting Local Circuit Inhibition in the Neocortex
(2017-01-25)Neuronal circuits controlling our perception and behaviors are radically shaped by experiences during early critical periods. For example, early life stress (ELS) has been linked to enduring negative behavioral consequences ... -
Extrinsic and intrinsic signals converge on the Runx1/CBFβ transcription factor for nonpeptidergic nociceptor maturation
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2015)The generation of diverse neuronal subtypes involves specification of neural progenitors and, subsequently, postmitotic neuronal differentiation, a relatively poorly understood process. Here, we describe a mechanism whereby ... -
Extrusion, slide, and rupture of an elastomeric seal
(Elsevier BV, 2017)Elastomeric seals are essential to two great technological advances in oilfields: horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. This paper describes a method to study elastomeric seals by using the pressure-extrusion curve ... -
EYA4 is inactivated biallelically at a high frequency in sporadic lung cancer and is associated with familial lung cancer risk
(2015)In an effort to identify novel biallelically inactivated tumor suppressor genes (TSG) in sporadic invasive and pre-invasive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) genomes, we applied a comprehensive integrated multi-‘omics ... -
Eye Movements during Auditory Attention Predict Individual Differences in Dorsal Attention Network Activity
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)The neural mechanisms supporting auditory attention are not fully understood. A dorsal frontoparietal network of brain regions is thought to mediate the spatial orienting of attention across all sensory modalities. Key ... -
The eye of the storm: light from the inner plunging region of black hole accretion discs
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012)It is generally thought that the light coming from the inner plunging region of black hole accretion discs contributes negligibly to the disc's overall spectrum, i.e. the plunging fluid is swallowed by the black hole before ... -
The Eye of the Tsar: Intelligence-Gathering and Geopolitics in Eighteenth-Century Eurasia
(2016-04-29)This dissertation argues for the importance of knowledge production for understanding the relationship between the Russian Empire, the Qing Dynasty, and European actors, from the mid-seventeenth to the early nineteenth ...
