Bibliographic freedom and the future direction of map cataloging

Creator:: Reese, Terry
Abstract:: With more and more cartographic data being created and released only as GIS datasets, map catalogers will eventually find themselves moving away from Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) as their primary bibliographic description schema and moving towards the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). This move will be necessitated in large part...

Towards the development of accelerated methods for assessing the durability of wood plastic composites

Creator:: Silva, Antonio, Gartner, Barbara L., and Morrell, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: While wood plastic composites have gained an increasingly large share of the market for decks and other outdoor structures, there are many questions about the long-term potential for biodeterioration of these materials. While the plastic does appear to retard moisture uptake, thereby slowing the rate of degradation, a number of...

Nonmuscle myosins II-B and Va are components of detergentresistant membrane skeletons derived from mouse forebrain

Creator:: Ishmael, Jane E., Safic, Masa, Amparan, David, Vogel, Walter K., Pham, Tuyen, Marley, Kevin, Filtz, Theresa M., and Maier, Claudia S.
Abstract:: Myosins are actin-based molecular motors that may have specialized trafficking and contractile functions in cytoskeletal compartments that lack microtubules. The postsynaptic excitatory synapse is one such specialization, yet little is known about the spatial organization of myosin motor proteins in the mature brain. We used a proteomics approach to determine...

Satellite views of Pacific chlorophyll variability: comparisons to physical variability, local versus nonlocal influences and links to climate indices

Creator:: Thomas, Andrew C., Strub, P. Ted, Weatherbee, Ryan A., and James, Corinne
Abstract:: Concurrent satellite-measured chlorophyll (CHL), sea surface temperature (SST), sea level anomaly (SLA) and model-derived wind vectors from the 13+ year SeaWiFS period September 1997 – December 2010 quantify time and space patterns of phytoplankton variability and its links to physical forcing in the Pacific Ocean. The CHL fields are a...

Air quality and elemental enrichment factors of aerosol particulate matter in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia

Creator:: Rushdi, Ahmed I., Al-Mutlaq, Khalid F., Al-Otaibi, Mubarak, El-Mubarak, Aarif H., and Simoneit, Bernd R. T.
Abstract:: Air particulate matter (PM) samples were collected from June 2006 to May 2007 for determination chemical elements. PM samples were taken in two size fractions (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀) with MiniVolume air samplers on rooftops of various buildings (15-25 m above ground) in the city of Riyadh. The samples were subjected...

Exploring the phylogenetic affiliations and the trophic mode of Sedecula pulvinata (Sedeculaceae)

Creator:: Trappe, Matthew J., Smith, Matthew E., and Hobbie, Erik A.
Abstract:: Sedecula is a monotypic genus of hypogeous fungi that is rare and endemic to dry conifer forests of the western United States. The only known species, Sedecula pulvinata, was described in 1941 and its taxonomic placement and trophic status have remained uncertain ever since. Here we employ isotopic and molecular...

Efficient Finite Groups Arising in the Study of Relative Asphericity

Creator:: Bogley, William A. and Williams, Gerald
Abstract:: We study a class of two-generator two-relator groups, denoted J[subscript n](m, k), that arise in the study of relative asphericity as groups satisfying a transitional curvature condition. Particular instances of these groups occur in the literature as finite groups of intriguing orders. Here we find infinite families of non-elementary virtually...

Benefits of support conferences for parents of and people with Moebius syndrome

Creator:: Bogart, Kathleen R. and Hemmesch, Amanda R.
Abstract:: Hundreds of millions of people worldwide with rare diseases face unique challenges to quality of life (QoL), including stigma and limited support. To address these concerns, many rare disease organizations offer support conferences for people to meet others with their condition. This is the first research to examine the effects...

Measurement of high carrier mobility in graphene in an aqueous electrolyte environment

Creator:: Brown, Morgan A., Crosser, Michael S., Leyden, Matthew R., Qi, Yabing, and Minot, Ethan D.
Abstract:: Graphene is a promising material for applications in aqueous electrolyte environments. To explore the impact of such environments on graphene's electrical properties, we performed Hall bar measurements on electrolyte-gated graphene. Assuming a Drude model, we find that the room temperature carrier mobility in water-gated, SiO₂-supported graphene reaches 7000 cm²/Vs, comparable to...
