Comprehensive Identification Of Protein Substrates Of The Dot/Icm Type Iv Transporter Of Legionella Pneumophila., Wenhan Zhu, Simran Banga, Yunhao Tan, Cheng Zheng, Robert E. Stephenson, Jonathan Gately, Zhao-Qing Luo Mar 2011

Comprehensive Identification Of Protein Substrates Of The Dot/Icm Type Iv Transporter Of Legionella Pneumophila., Wenhan Zhu, Simran Banga, Yunhao Tan, Cheng Zheng, Robert E. Stephenson, Jonathan Gately, Zhao-Qing Luo

Department of Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

A large number of proteins transferred by the Legionella pneumophila Dot/Icm system have been identified by various strategies. With no exceptions, these strategies are based on one or more characteristics associated with the tested proteins. Given the high level of diversity exhibited by the identified proteins, it is possible that some substrates have been missed in these screenings. In this study, we took a systematic method to survey the L. pneumophilagenome by testing hypothetical orfs larger than 300 base pairs for Dot/Icm-dependent translocation. 798 of the 832 analyzed orfs were successfully fused to the carboxyl end of β-lactamase. The …

Chekhov As A Founder Of The Comedy Of A New Type, Vera Zubarev Mar 2011

Chekhov As A Founder Of The Comedy Of A New Type, Vera Zubarev

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Chekhov as a Founder of the Comedy of a New Type" Vera Zubarev discusses Chekhov's innovations within the framework of general systems thinking and the predispositioning theory. To this end, the notion of the positional style is used as a subject of systems analysis. Zubarev postulates that Chekhov's innovative style signified a new era of thinking now known as systems thinking. The main principles of the style correspond to those offered by the positional style in chess speedily developed at the time Chekhov worked on his stories and plays. Chekhov's reconstruction of the comedic genre had nothing …

Two Traumas One Aesthetic In Walsh's Operación Masacre And Kaufman's The Laramie Project, Henry James Morello Mar 2011

Two Traumas One Aesthetic In Walsh's Operación Masacre And Kaufman's The Laramie Project, Henry James Morello

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "Two Traumas One Aesthetic in Walsh's Operación Masacre and Kaufman's The Laramie Project" Henry James Morello analyzes the stylistic similarities of Walsh's and Kaufman's texts. Walsh's 1957 testimonio Operación masacre was written as a response to the politically motivated violence perpetrated by the military government after the overthrow of Juan Perón, specifically the kidnapping and murder of a group of men thought to be Peronist sympathizers. In 1998 Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project created The Laramie Project, a play about the reactions of the people of Laramie to the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard, …


Tropologies Of Tradition And (Post)Modernity In Nwagwu's Forever Chimes, James Tar Tsaaior Mar 2011

Tropologies Of Tradition And (Post)Modernity In Nwagwu's Forever Chimes, James Tar Tsaaior

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article "Tropologies of Tradition and (Post)modernity in Nwagwu's Forever Chimes" James Tar Tsaaior explores Mark Nwagu's novel and postulates that the author succeeds in constructing a novelistic universe both concrete and fluid in its re-invention or re-fabrication of cultural traditions and identity formation processes. This universe is simultaneously traditional/indigenous and (post)modern. However, rather than to delineate these cultural formations through difference as oppositional categories, Nwagu suggests grounds for multicultural interactions and transactions. In this cultural schema, none of the cultures claims exclusive preserve or pre-eminence over the other as what exists is a democratic space for the …


Early Twentieth-Century Fashion Designer Life Writing, Ilya Parkins Mar 2011

Early Twentieth-Century Fashion Designer Life Writing, Ilya Parkins

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article "Early Twentieth-century Fashion Designer Life Writing," Ilya Parkins examines memoirs of major modernist fashion designers in the, finding that the genre is characterized by a strong geographic cleavage between France and America, overlain by perceptions of epistemic difference. She compares Elsa Schiaparelli's and Paul Poiret's work, finding that despite their differences, the opposition between France as a locale of abstract knowledge and America as a site of empiricism allows them to claim, as French designers, a certain privilege in a profession characterized by an unresolvable tension between art and commerce. The encroachment of American industrial models in …

Science Fiction And A Rhetorical Analysis Of The 'Literature Myth', Kris Rutten, Ronald Soetaert, Geert Vandermeersche Mar 2011

Science Fiction And A Rhetorical Analysis Of The 'Literature Myth', Kris Rutten, Ronald Soetaert, Geert Vandermeersche

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In their article "Science Fiction and a Rhetorical Analysis of the 'Literature Myth'" Kris Rutten, Ronald Soetaert, and Geert Vandermeersche discuss what we can learn from science fiction about cultural literacy in general and literary culture in particular. From a theoretical and methodological perspective the authors start from the work of rhetorician Kenneth Burke. First, the authors conceptualize literature as "equipment for living" followed by a discussion of science fiction as "equipment for living" based on a description of the genre as "satire by entelechy." Second, they analyze a selection of science fiction narratives using the "dramatistic pentad" as …


Surface-Enhanced Raman Imaging Of Intracellular Bioreduction Of Chromate In Shewanella Oneidensis, Sandeep P. Ravindranath, Kristene Henne, Dorothea Thompson, Joseph Irudayaraj Feb 2011

Surface-Enhanced Raman Imaging Of Intracellular Bioreduction Of Chromate In Shewanella Oneidensis, Sandeep P. Ravindranath, Kristene Henne, Dorothea Thompson, Joseph Irudayaraj

Birck and NCN Publications

This proposed research aims to use novel nanoparticle sensors and spectroscopic tools constituting surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and Fluorescence Lifetime imaging (FLIM) to study intracellular chemical activities within single bioremediating microorganism. The grand challenge is to develop a mechanistic understanding of chromate reduction and localization by the remediating bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 by chemical and lifetime imaging. MR-1 has attracted wide interest from the research community because of its potential in reducing multiple chemical and metallic electron acceptors. While several biomolecular approaches to decode microbial reduction mechanisms exist, there is a considerable gap in the availability of sensor platforms to …


Dense Matrix Inversion Of Linear Complexity For Integral-Equation Based Large-Scale 3-D Capacitance Extraction, Wenwen Chai, Dan Jiao Feb 2011

Dense Matrix Inversion Of Linear Complexity For Integral-Equation Based Large-Scale 3-D Capacitance Extraction, Wenwen Chai, Dan Jiao

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

State-of-the-art integral equation based solvers rely on techniques that can perform a dense matrix-vector multiplication in linear complexity. We introduce H2 matrix as a mathematical framework to enable a highly efficient computation of dense matrices. Under this mathematical framework, as yet, no linear complexity has been established for matrix inversion. In this work, we developed a matrix inverse of linear complexity to directly solve the dense system of linear equations for the capacitance extraction involving arbitrary geometry and nonuniform materials. We theoretically proved the existence of the H2 matrix representation of the inverse of the dense system matrix, and revealed …
