PKS gene constructs were transformed into E. coli BL21-. For protein isolation, cultures were grown to an OD of approximately 0.6 at 37 C when transcription of the cDNA inserts was induced with IPTG and cultures were grown for an … Continue reading →

Wind direction, speed and temperature are measured using a hand-held Kestrel 1000 meter, and the cloudiness and weather are noted. More sophistical meteorological data has been used to calculate the back-trajectory of odor plumes using data from the National Weather … Continue reading →

This is more challenging with a subset of the Taxol P450s that are predicted to have multiple transmembrane domains with an uncharacterized ER-binding mechanism. Modifying this interaction without disrupting the internal loop structures and catalytic activity of the protein could … Continue reading →

As such, it may be that in the absence of legally available chemical controls growers were choosing allowable, biologically derived products or alternative strategies such as natural enemy augmentation and sanitation. Our survey population was perhaps biased toward non-chemical pest management … Continue reading →

Gender identity was collapsed into a 3- level categorical variable; transgender and non-binary were recoded to “self-described.” Additionally, I controlled for sexual orientation as a binary variable: lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or queer and heterosexual. Lastly, there were three variables measuring employment … Continue reading →

The project is led by Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, a professor of pediatrics at Stanford University and Mariaelena Gonzalez, assistant professor in public health at UC Merced. According to NCPC Director and UC Merced Associate Professor Anna Song, the researchers intend to provide … Continue reading →

Principal neurons in the hippocampus and cerebellum use endocannabinoids to carry out a signalling process that is analogous in mechanism, but opposite in sign, to DSI, called depolarization-induced suppression of excitation. Like DSI, DSE is induced by neuronal depolarization, it … Continue reading →

Such tests of complete SOFC systems are both expensive and complex; therefore, novel modeling practices were developed to avoid costly testing. The balance of plant typically includes thermal insulation, pipework, pumps, heat exchangers, heat utilization plant, fuel processors, control system, … Continue reading →

In an attempt to achieve net zero emissions, tech companies have strongly considered fuel cell technology as a greener and more efficient alternative to energy conversion than the traditional combustion methods of power plants. Over the past several years, the … Continue reading →

Uncertainty in when, how and where water is being used, however, threatens the security of water rights — particularly when water is substantially over allocated relative to natural supplies. During the 2012–2016 drought, for example, the SWRCB issued notices of curtailment … Continue reading →
