Identification of new molecular targets for the treatment of breast cancer is an important clinical goal, especially for triple-negative breast cancer, which is refractory to existing targeted treatments. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor known primarily as the mediator of dioxin toxicity. However, the AhR can...
Three‐dimensional circulation in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off Oregon is
studied using a 3 km resolution model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System.
The study period is spring and summer 2002, when extensive observations were available
from the northeastern Pacific component of the Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics
project....
Intraexciton transitions in semiconductor quantum wells are modulated by strong and tunable few-cycle terahertz pulses. Time-resolved terahertz-pump and optical-probe measurements demonstrate that the 1s heavy-hole and light-hole exciton resonances undergo large-amplitude spectral modulations when the terahertz radiation is tuned near the 1s–2p intraexciton transition. The strong nonlinear optical transients exhibit...
The small S₁ ocean tide is caused primarily by diurnal atmospheric pressure loading. Its excitation is therefore unlike any other diurnal tide; in particular, pressure loading is maximum near the equator where the diurnal gravitational potential is zero. The global character of the S₁ tide is here determined by numerical...
El chinche apestoso marrón marmolado (Halyomorpha halys) es un insecto invasor y una amenaza muy grave para la agricultura de Oregon. Se alimenta de más de 100 plantas incluyendo plantas agrícolas y ornamentales de importancia económica. Esta tarjeta presenta con fotos y descripciones para ayudar a identificar el chinche apestoso...
BaCuChF (Ch=S,Se,Te) surfaces and BaCuSeF interfaces with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. BaCuChF compounds oxidize when exposed to ambient atmosphere. Se capping layers were studied as a means to produce representative surfaces for photoelectron spectroscopic measurements. Decapped BaCuSeF surfaces remain O-free and C-free when the Se layer...
Double excitonic absorption peaks are observed in textured BaCuSF and BaCuSeF thin films. The excitonic doublet separation increases with increasing fraction of heavy chalcogen in the thin-film solid solutions, in good agreement with the spin-orbit splitting of the valence bands calculated by density-functional theory. In BaCuSF and BaCuSeF, the excitons...
In the late 1950s, "two California men" came to Oregon to learn if there were abalone here, and found them in the southern part of the state. The resulting publicity and interest inspired this document, an attempt to develop regulations for a new fishery. It is an internal discussion paper...
Subsurface temperature data and surface meteorological data are analyzed from thermistor chain moorings deployed near 50°N, 140°W during the Storm Transfer and Response Experiment (STREX). The upper-ocean heat and potential energy (PE) contents to 90 m are examined for an 18-day period and their changes compared to the sources and...
