Bartonella henselae Pap31, an extracellular matrix adhesin, binds the fibronectin repeat III13 module
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006-05)
Bartonella henselae wound-associated infections suggest involvement of extracellular matrix molecules in adhesion and invasion. Pap31 was previously identified as a hemin-binding protein. Our recent studies suggest the ...
Introducing the visual language and process of design to beginning architectural engineering students
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2006-01-01)
The "Introduction to Architecture" course for freshmen architecture and architectural engineering students has been offered every fall semester since 1995. The fundamental course goals are to introduce the process of design, ...
Identification of rat lung-prominent genes by a parallel DNA microarray hybridization
(BioMed Central, 2006-03-13)
Background: The comparison of organ transcriptomes is an important strategy for understanding gene functions. In the present study, we attempted to identify lung-prominent genes by comparing the normal transcriptomes of ...
Intrinsic current-voltage properties of nanowires with four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy: A conductance transition of ZnO nanowire
(AIP Publishing, 2006-07-24)
We report intrinsic current-voltage properties of ZnO nanowire measured by a four-tip scanning tunneling microscopy (F-STM). It is found that after bending the nanowire with the F-STM the conductance is reduced by about ...
Measurement-induced spatial modulation of spontaneous decay and photon arrival times
(American Physical Society, 2006-12-20)
We report a way of manipulating the spontaneous emission process leading to a spatial modulation of spontaneous decay. The effect is observed in the case of coherently driven atoms separated by less than a transition ...
Environment for scholarship in agricultural economics extension
(Cambridge University Press, 2006-08)
Although opportunities and challenged for the Cooperative Extension Service have been addressed in the agricultural economics literature, little attention has been paid to the extension scholar. This atrticle relates Boyer's ...
Ultraslow light in inhomogeneously broadened media
(American Physical Society, 2006-04-19)
We calculate the characteristics of ultraslow light in an inhomogeneously broadened medium. We present analytical and numerical results for the group delay as a function of power of the propagating pulse. We apply these ...
Subwavelength atom localization via coherent population trapping
(IOP Publishing, 2006-08-14)
We present an atom localization scheme based on coherent population trapping. We consider atomic transitions in a Lambda configuration where the control field is a standing-wave field. The probe field and the control field ...
Antagonism between chlorpyrifos and flaxedil in toad and earthworm neuromuscular transmission
(Science Publications, 2006)
The cholinesterase inhibition effect of chlorpyrifos, a commercial insecticide, was tested by its antagonism to the acetylcholine inhibition effect of flaxedil in 30 isolated nerve-sartorius muscle preparations of the toad, ...
THz Zenneck surface wave (THz surface plasmon) propagation on a metal sheet
(AIP Publishing, 2006-02-08)
We present an experimental study of the propagation of the THz Zenneck surface wave on an aluminum sheet, now more commonly denoted as the THz surface plasmon (TSP). Here, the TSP pulse is generated by coupling the THz ...
