Thayer Professor Eric Fossum, one of the world's experts in solid-state image sensors, invented technology used in nearly all phone cameras.
A group of Uzbek parliamentarians, sponsored by the Open World Leadership Center and the National Democratic Institute, will discuss current developments in the legislature of Uzbekistan.
TTCI and Colorado State University-Pueblo announce MS degree in Engineering.PUEBLO, Co. -- A new Master of Science (MSE) degree in Engineering with emphasis areas in mechatronics and railroad engineering will be offered by Colorado State University-Pueblo beginning next fall thanks in part to a collaboration with the Transportation Technology Center, Inc.(TTCI).
Delegates at a sustainable development summit in New Delhi said energy access should be a millennium development goal.
The phenomenon of thermal fluctuation of a biomembrane within a stack of like membranes was introduced in a pioneering paper [Helfrich W (1978) Z Naturforsch A 33(3):305–315]. Internal energy arises in a representative membrane through elastic resistance to bending deformation, and membrane motion is further restrained through steric interaction with...
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are the most common tumors of the female reproductive tract, occurring in up to 77% of reproductive-aged women, yet molecular pathogenesis remains poorly understood. A role for atypically activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids has been suggested in several studies....
The Caenorhabditis elegans vulval precursor cells (VPCs) offer a paradigm for investigating how multipotency of progenitor cells is maintained during periods of quiescence. The VPCs are born in the first larval stage. When hermaphrodites are grown under favorable conditions, the EGF-mediated “inductive” signal and the LIN-12/Notch-mediated “lateral” signal confer a...
Good news: A long-awaited model for uterine fibroid tumor research is upon us (1). Historically, there has been a paucity of in vivo models for the study of fibroid tumors (i.e., leiomyomas), benign female pelvic organ tumors characterized by clonal proliferation of smooth muscle cells and expression of genes involved...
Lipid bilayers serve as model surfaces that are often used to understand the behavior of actual cell membranes. Cell adhesion (1, 2), membrane fusion (1), binding-unbinding transition (3), self-assembly, and related phenomena govern an astounding array of biological functions; for example, sperm-egg fusion is the basis of mammalian reproducion (1)....
This unit introduces you to the following systems diagramming techniques - Rich pictures, Spray diagrams and Systems maps. Using a case study project based in Africa, this unit illustrates the use of powerful use of systems diagramming for international development management. This is a companion unit to Diagramming for development 2: exploring interrelationships (TU875_1).
