Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the principal enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of the endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG). MAGL is universally expressed as a ~33 kDa protein. However, a ~35 kDa form of MAGL ...

Multivariate spline technique has proved to be a powerful mathematicaltool for solving variational problems in a great number of researchand engineering tasks, such as computer vision, scientific computing,engineering ...

The importance of habitat type for the diversification of spatial strategies and telencephalon morphology was investigated in threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Field-caught samples from sea-run (ancestral) ...

This thesis is a collection of poems that interrogate sociocultural constructs, play with language and form, and share the philosophy of 'everythingness in nothingness.' The work strives to capture narrative moments and ...

Microfluidic devices were utilized to study the behavior of highly viscous liquids surrounded by less viscous ones. This study mainly focuses on the lubrication transition of viscous threads flowing in sheaths of less ...

Game development is a rapidly evolving area of study that blends together a broad spectrum of technical and creative influences. Through their systematic use of rules, mechanics and multimedia assets, games can be thought ...

In this thesis, a visual approach for the dimensional synthesis of planar parallel manipulators is discussed. The presented approach transforms the kinematic constraint problem to a geometric constraint manifold manipulation ...
