Association of IFIH1 and pro-inflammatory mediators: Potential new clues in SLE-associated pathogenesis
(PLos One, 2017-02-24)
Antiviral defenses are inappropriately activated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and association between SLE and the antiviral helicase gene, IFIH1, is well established. We sought to extend the previously reported ...
USING DATA ANALYTICS ON DIMENSIONLESS NUMBERS TO PREDICT THE ULTIMATE RECOVERY FACTORS FOR DIFFERENT DRIVE MECHANISMS OF GULF OF MEXICO OIL FIELDS
(2017-05-12)
The ultimate recovery factor is strongly affected by petrophysical parameters, engineering data, structures, and drive mechanisms. The knowledge of the recovery factor is needed for multiple decision makings and it should ...
COMPOSING AGENCY: USING INQUIRY TO PROMOTE SOCIAL ACTION
(2017-08-01)
In Rhetoric/Composition studies, agency has been a highly contested concept, straightaway invoking the tension between two dominant perspectives. Agency is viewed as either an internal quality possessed by an individual ...
Investigating Mound Activities at Mississippian Sites in the Southeast: A Spatial Analysis of Lithic Debitage at the Pevey Site (22LW510) in Mississippi
(2017)
The Pevey site on the Pearl River in Mississippi is a large, multi-mound site from the Mississippi Period (1200-1600 A.D.). Relatively unstudied compared to other large mound sites in the Southeast, Pevey’s distinctive ...
Rock properties derived from analysis of earth tide strain observed in continuous pressure monitoring of the Arbuckle Group of Oklahoma
(2017)
The Arbuckle Group is an important geologic unit in the state of Oklahoma because of its suitability as a saltwater disposal (SWD) zone. In 2014, the Arbuckle Group received about 68% of the total volumes of saltwater ...
Opposition to Authoritarianism: Ideational and Material Resources in Russia and Ukraine
(2017-12)
Why do some opposition movements succeed in deposing authoritarian leaders in the former Soviet Republics, while some others fail? How do regime opponents challenge authoritarian discourses and practices? How do authoritarian ...
Proteomics Coupled with Metabolite and Cell Wall Profiling Reveal Metabolic Processes of a Developing Rice Stem Internode
(2017-07-13)
Internodes of grass stems function in mechanical support, transport, and, in some species, are a major sink organ for carbon in the form of cell wall polymers. This study reports cell wall composition, proteomic, and ...
CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF TUBULARS IN SOUR GAS ENVIRONMENT
(2017)
The existence of corrosive gases (CO2 and H2S) in oil wells under High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) condition exacerbates the severity of tubular corrosion and increases the need for different corrosion mitigation ...
Webs for Type Q Lie Superalgebras
(2017-12-15)
In the first part of this dissertation, we construct a monoidal supercategory whose morphism spaces are spanned by equivalence classes of diagrams called oriented type Q webs, modulo certain relations. We then prove a ...
Seismic Stratigraphy of a Circular Concave-Downward Structure, Chukchi Sea
(2017-12-15)
A circular concave-downward structure (CCDS) and its structural features and seismic facies can be observed in several 2D seismic lines imaging the Chukchi Sea planning area. The area in question is largely underexplored ...
