Softer Soju in South Korea
(SAGE Publications, 2013)
This paper explores the ascendancy of 'softness' in South Korea as it is experienced through the qualia of one of Korea’s most important social rituals: drinking soju. I combine an analysis of ethnographic evidence with ...
Women's Worlds in Qajar Iran Digital Archive and Website: What Could Writing History Look Like in a Digital Age?
(American Historical Association, 2013)
An Engineered Calmodulin-Based Allosteric Switch for Peptide Biosensing
(Wiley Blackwell (John Wiley & Sons), 2013)
This work describes the development of a new platform for allosteric protein engineering that takes advantage of the ability of calmodulin to change conformation upon binding to peptide and protein ligands. The switch we ...
What must a global theory of cortex explain?
(Elsevier, 2014)
At present there is no generally accepted theory of how cognitive phenomena arise from computations in cortex. Further, there is no consensus on how the search for one should be refocussed so as to make it more fruitful. ...
Chemical Genetics Identify eIF2α Kinase Heme Regulated Inhibitor as Anti-Cancer Target
(2013)
Translation initiation plays a critical role in cellular homeostasis, proliferation, differentiation and malignant transformation. Consistently, increasing the abundance of the eIF2·GTP·Met-tRNAi translation initiation ...
Evolutionary principles of modular gene regulation in yeasts
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2013)
Divergence in gene regulation can play a major role in evolution. Here, we used a phylogenetic framework to measure mRNA profiles in 15 yeast species from the phylum Ascomycota and reconstruct the evolution of their modular ...
Using Google Dengue Trends to Estimate Climate Effects in Mexico
(University of Illinois at Chicago Library, 2013)
Objective: To evaluate the association between Dengue Fever (DF) and climate in Mexico with real-time data from Google Dengue Trends (GDT) and climate data from NASA Earth observing systems. Introduction: The incidence of ...
Self-interference fluorescence microscopy: three dimensional fluorescence imaging without depth scanning
(Optical Society of America, 2012)
We present a new method for high-resolution, three-dimensional fluorescence imaging. In contrast to beam-scanning confocal microscopy, where the laser focus must be scanned both laterally and axially to collect a volume, ...
High density genetic mapping identifies new susceptibility loci for rheumatoid arthritis
(2012)
Summary Using the Immunochip custom single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, designed for dense genotyping of 186 genome wide association study (GWAS) confirmed loci we analysed 11,475 rheumatoid arthritis cases of ...
Structural snapshots of the reaction coordinate for O-GlcNAc transferase
(2012)
Visualization of the reaction coordinate undertaken by glycosyltransferases has remained elusive, but is critical for understanding this important class of enzyme. Using substrates and substrate mimics, we describe structural ...
