The resulting thesis derives from studying the local ecology of the Hudson River and relating traditions of cultures affected by electronic waste into a starting point for discussion within an interconnected world. The ...

Carbon nanomaterials have been cited to provide great potential in biomedical applications such as in vivo imaging, drug delivery, and biomarker detection. Yet poor dispersibility in physiological conditions greatly ...

Ecosystem dynamics are often complex, nonlinear, and characterized by criticalthresholds or regime changes. Despite these difficulties, resource managers mustaccurately forecast species abundance and anticipate impending ...

The utilization of supercritical fluids (SCFs) has recently become prominent in a number of polymer processes such as inducing the ordering of block copolymer templates, synthesizing nanoporous material, and spatially ...

The Argonaute proteins are highly conserved throughout evolution. They associate with diverse classes of small RNAs to mediate gene silencing in developmental programs and participate in defense responses to viruses, ...

Protein folding is one of the most important unsolved questions of structural biology because of the desire to understand the link between the primary sequence and structure. Proteins can fold on a microsecond to millisecond ...
