- Description:
- The actions of luteinizing hormone (LH) to induce ovulation and luteinization of preovulatory follicles are mediated principally by activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in granulosa cells. PKA activity is targeted to specific cellular locations by A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). I previously showed that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) induces expression of...

- Description:
- In the first chapter we analyze profits and efficiency implications of a relation between an upstream duopoly and downstream monopoly in Hotelling linear city model. While exclusive contracts maximize the monopolist's profit, at the same time socially they are inefficient. Linear prices, while more efficient, usually also do not achieve...

- Phagocytosis is an essential mechanism for clearance of pathogens, dying cells, and other unwanted debris in order to maintain tissue health in the body. Macrophages execute this process in the peripheral immune system, but in the brain microglia act as resident macrophages to accomplish this function. In the peripheral immune...

- Description:
- Inflammasomes are signaling complexes that link the recognition of pathogen and danger associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) by cytosolic pattern-recognition receptors (PPRs) to the activation of Caspase-1, leading to the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-18, and the induction of pyroptosis. In addition to the canonical...

- Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is emerging as a promising method for noninvasive diagnosis of coronary artery diseases. Nonetheless, acquisition of large-coverage high-resolution coronary artery images requires free-breathing acquisition. Accurately measuring and correcting respiratory motion has been one of the major challenges to coronary MRA. Diaphragmatic navigator (NAV), the current...

- This paper examines the current state of Turkish-U.S. relations. While many have noted a chill in the relationship between the two countries, Finn suggests that recent tension has a longer historical background. Rather than a recent development, Finn suggests that Turkish-U.S. relations have seen periods of tension before over the...

- Description:
- Quantum frequency conversion (QFC) of photonic signals preserves quantum information while simultaneously changing the signal wavelength. A common application of QFC is to translate the wavelength of a signal compatible with the current fiber-optic infrastructure to a shorter wavelength more compatible with high-quality single-photon detectors and optical memories. Recent work...
