Lim Kinase 1 Is Essential For The Invasive Growth Of Prostate Epithelial Cells - Implications In Prostate Cancer, Monica Davila, Andra R. Frost, William E. Grizzle, Ratna Chakrabarti Jan 2003

Lim Kinase 1 Is Essential For The Invasive Growth Of Prostate Epithelial Cells - Implications In Prostate Cancer, Monica Davila, Andra R. Frost, William E. Grizzle, Ratna Chakrabarti

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Mammalian LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1) is involved in reorganization of actin cytoskeleton through inactivating phosphorylation of the ADF family protein cofilin, which depolymerizes actin filaments. Maintenance of the actin dynamics in an ordered fashion is essential for stabilization of cell shape or promotion of cell motility depending on the cell type. These are the two key phenomena that may become altered during acquisition of the metastatic phenotype by cancer cells. Here we show that LIMK1 is overexpressed in prostate tumors and in prostate cancer cell lines, that the concentration of phosphorylated cofilin is higher in metastatic prostate cancer cells, and …

Coherence Properties Near Interfaces Of Random Media, A. Apostol, A. Dogariu Jan 2003

Coherence Properties Near Interfaces Of Random Media, A. Apostol, A. Dogariu

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The spatial coherence theory of optical fields radiated by statistically homogeneous, infinite, planar sources does not account for detailed surface characteristics. However, coherence properties change with the angular distribution of the intensity radiated from such a source, which, in turn, depends on the physical properties of the sample. We show that second-order correlations of the optical field measured at several wavelengths away from the surface of a highly inhomogeneous medium relate to the statistical characteristics of the interface.

Palladium Nanoparticle Arrays Using Template-Assisted Electrodeposition, D. Bera, S. C. Kuiry, S. Patil, University Of Central Florida Jan 2003

Palladium Nanoparticle Arrays Using Template-Assisted Electrodeposition, D. Bera, S. C. Kuiry, S. Patil, University Of Central Florida

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Palladium nanoparticles are being increasingly considered as room-temperature hydrogen sensors and storage materials. Pd nanoparticle arrays have been synthesized using template-assisted electrodeposition. The template based on Al film on a polymeric substrate was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study confirmed that the deposited nanoparticles were of metallic Pd. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy investigation revealed that Pd nanoparticles consisted of a large number of nanocrystallites in the size range of 5-10 nm.

Incoherent White Light Solitons In Logarithmically Saturable Noninstantaneous Nonlinear Media, H. Buljan, A. Šiber, M. Soljacic, T. Schwartz, M. Segev, Demetrios N. Christodoulides Jan 2003

Incoherent White Light Solitons In Logarithmically Saturable Noninstantaneous Nonlinear Media, H. Buljan, A. Šiber, M. Soljacic, T. Schwartz, M. Segev, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

We analytically demonstrate the existence of white light solitons in logarithmically saturable noninstantaneous nonlinear media. This incoherent soliton has elliptic Gaussian intensity profile, and elliptic Gaussian spatial correlation statistics. The existence curve of the soliton connects the strength of the nonlinearity, the spatial correlation distance as a function of frequency, and the characteristic width of the soliton. For this soliton to exist, the spatial correlation distance must be smaller for larger temporal frequency constituents of the beam.

Characterization Of A Novel And Specific Inhibitor For The Pro-Apoptotic Protease Omi/Htra2, Lucia Cilenti, Younghee Lee, Sibylle Hess, Srinivasa Srinivasula, Kwon Moo Parrk, Daniela Junqueira, Hedvika Davis, Joseph V. Bonventre, Emad S. Alnemri, Antonis S. Zervos Jan 2003

Characterization Of A Novel And Specific Inhibitor For The Pro-Apoptotic Protease Omi/Htra2, Lucia Cilenti, Younghee Lee, Sibylle Hess, Srinivasa Srinivasula, Kwon Moo Parrk, Daniela Junqueira, Hedvika Davis, Joseph V. Bonventre, Emad S. Alnemri, Antonis S. Zervos

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Omi/HtrA2 is a mammalian serine protease with high homology to bacterial HtrA chaperones. Omi/HtrA2 is localized in mitochondria and is released to the cytoplasm in response to apoptotic stimuli. Omi/HtrA2 induces cell death in a caspase-dependent manner by interacting with the inhibitor of apoptosis protein as well as in a caspase-independent manner that relies on its protease activity. We describe the identification and characterization of a novel compound as a specific inhibitor of the proteolytic activity of Omi/HtrA2. This compound (ucf-101) was isolated in a high throughput screening of a combinatorial library using bacterially made Omi-(134-458) protease and fluorescein-casein as …

Angle Dependent Magnetization Reversal Of Thin Film Magnetic Recording Media, Kevin R. Coffey, Thomas Thomson, Jan-Ulrich Thiele Jan 2003

Angle Dependent Magnetization Reversal Of Thin Film Magnetic Recording Media, Kevin R. Coffey, Thomas Thomson, Jan-Ulrich Thiele

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The results of angular measurements of the remanent switching fields for granular longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic recording media are presented and compared to idealized models of magnetic switching. Co alloy longitudinal and perpendicular recording media are found primarily to have a Stoner-Wohlfarth switching character at vibrating sample magnetometer time scales. Since the Stoner-Wohlfarth model does not consider the effects of thermal activation, the angular dependence of the time independent switching field H-swro(theta) was determined from a Sharrock analysis. This approach shows a closer agreement between experimental data and model. For the case of a representative high density longitudinal recording medium, …

Lattice Solitons In Bose-Einstein Condensates, Nikolaos K. Efremidis, Demetrios N. Christodoulides Jan 2003

Lattice Solitons In Bose-Einstein Condensates, Nikolaos K. Efremidis, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

We systematically study the properties of lattice solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with either attractive or repulsive atom interactions. This is done, by exactly solving the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the presence of a periodic potential. We find new families of lattice soliton solutions that are characterized by the position of the energy eigenvalue within the associated band structure. These include lattice solitons in condensates with either attractive or repulsive atom interactions that exist in finite or semi-infinite gaps, as well as nonlinear modes that exhibit atomic population cutoffs.

Potential Involvement Of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1 And 2 In Encystation Of A Primitive Eukaryote, Giardia Lamblia - Stage-Specific Activation And Intracellular Localization, John G. Ellis Iv, Monica Davila, Ratna Chakrabarti Jan 2003

Potential Involvement Of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1 And 2 In Encystation Of A Primitive Eukaryote, Giardia Lamblia - Stage-Specific Activation And Intracellular Localization, John G. Ellis Iv, Monica Davila, Ratna Chakrabarti

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are major signaling systems by which eukaryotic cells convert environmental cues to intracellular events such as proliferation and differentiation. We have identified Giardia lamblia homologues of two members of the MAPK family ERK1 and ERK2. Functional characterization of giardial ERK1 and ERK2 revealed that both kinases were expressed in trophozoites and encysting cells as 44- and 41-kDa polypeptides, respectively, and were catalytically active. Analysis of the kinetic parameters of the recombinant proteins showed that ERK2 is similar to5 times more efficient than ERK1 in phosphorylating myelin basic protein as a substrate, although the phosphorylating efficiency …

A General Paradigm To Model Reaction-Based Biogeochemical Processes In Batch Systems, Yilin Fang, Gour-Tsyh Yeh, William D. Burgos Jan 2003

A General Paradigm To Model Reaction-Based Biogeochemical Processes In Batch Systems, Yilin Fang, Gour-Tsyh Yeh, William D. Burgos

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

[1] This paper presents the development and illustration of a numerical model of reaction-based geochemical and biochemical processes with mixed equilibrium and kinetic reactions. The objective is to provide a general paradigm for modeling reactive chemicals in batch systems, with expectations that it is applicable to reactive chemical transport problems. The unique aspects of the paradigm are to simultaneously (1) facilitate the segregation (isolation) of linearly independent kinetic reactions and thus enable the formulation and parameterization of individual rates one reaction by one reaction when linearly dependent kinetic reactions are absent, (2) enable the inclusion of virtually any type of …

Simulations Of Liquid-Crystal Fabry-Perot Etalons By An Improved 4x4 Matrix Method, Yuhua Huang, Thomas X. Wu, Shin-Tson Wu Jan 2003

Simulations Of Liquid-Crystal Fabry-Perot Etalons By An Improved 4x4 Matrix Method, Yuhua Huang, Thomas X. Wu, Shin-Tson Wu

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The optical performances of a liquid crystal (LC) Fabry-Perot (FP) etalon in various configurations were simulated by a faster 4 x 4 matrix method. Results show that the FP with a 90degrees twisted nematic LC is polarization. insensitive if the applied voltage exceeds similar to3X of the Freedericksz transition threshold. This method can well depict the transmission spectra of the FP cavity and, therefore, is useful for optimizing the FP tunable filters for telecommunications.

Discrete Vector Solitons In Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Waveguide Arrays: Solutions, Stability, And Dynamics, J. Hudock, P. G. Kevrekidis, B. A. Malomed, Demetrios N. Christodoulides Jan 2003

Discrete Vector Solitons In Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Waveguide Arrays: Solutions, Stability, And Dynamics, J. Hudock, P. G. Kevrekidis, B. A. Malomed, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

We identify and investigate bimodal (vector) solitons in models of square-lattice arrays of nonlinear optical waveguides. These vector self-localized states are, in fact, self-induced channels in a nonlinear photonic-crystal matrix. Such two-dimensional discrete vector solitons are possible in waveguide arrays in which each element carries two light beams that are either orthogonally polarized or have different carrier wavelengths. Estimates of the physical parameters necessary to support such soliton solutions in waveguide arrays are given. Using Newton relaxation methods, we obtain stationary vector-soliton solutions, and examine their stability through the computation of linearized eigenvalues for small perturbations. Our results may also …

Second Harmonic Generation Tuning Curves In Quasiphase-Matched Potassium Titanyl Phosphate With Narrow, High-Intensity Beams, Mordechai Katz, David Eger, Hongki Kim, Ladislav Jankovic, George Stegeman, Silvia Carrasco, Lluis Torner Jan 2003

Second Harmonic Generation Tuning Curves In Quasiphase-Matched Potassium Titanyl Phosphate With Narrow, High-Intensity Beams, Mordechai Katz, David Eger, Hongki Kim, Ladislav Jankovic, George Stegeman, Silvia Carrasco, Lluis Torner

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The second harmonic generation (SHG) tuning curves with temperature and angle of incidence were measured in periodically poled KTiOPO4 for narrow fundamental beams at intensities typical of quadratic soliton generation. Mutual self-focusing of the fundamental and harmonic, cascading, and walk-off for light incidence away from the poling axis, drastically distorted the SHG response curves, in good agreement with theory.

Second Harmonic Generation, Beam Dynamics And Spatial Soliton Generation In Periodically Poled Ktiopo4, H. Kim, L. Jankovic, G. Stegeman, S. Carrasco, L. Torner, M. Katz, D. Eger Jan 2003

Second Harmonic Generation, Beam Dynamics And Spatial Soliton Generation In Periodically Poled Ktiopo4, H. Kim, L. Jankovic, G. Stegeman, S. Carrasco, L. Torner, M. Katz, D. Eger

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Spatial solitons were investigated in periodically poled KTiOPO4 under conditions of second harmonic generation and many new features associated with soliton generation in quasi-phase-matched samples were observed. The effects on the second harmonic generation tuning curves of the beam narrowing mechanisms responsible for soliton generation were found to be dramatic. It was demonstrated experimentally that the mutual collapse of the fundamental and harmonic beams is a complex phenomenon.

Body Image Among Older, Rural, African-American Women With Type 2 Diabetes, Leslie Sue Lieberman, Claudia K. Probart, Nancy E. Schoenberg

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Type 2 diabetes and obesity co-occur in high prevalence among African-American women. The positive value placed on large body size has both historic and contemporary biosocial relevance. The maintenance of weight at medically recommended levels is a cornerstone of both prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes. This study of overweight, elderly, rural African-American women with 7 pe 2 diabetes found they generally preferred smaller body sizes compared to previous studies. Normal to slim body images as presented in a photographic array were selected as being more attractive, less likely to have diabetes and hypertension, healthier and to be more …

Properties Of Quadratic Multi-Soliton Generation Near Phase-Match In Periodically Poled Potassium Titanyl Phosphate, Sergey Polyakov, Ladislav Jankovic, Hongki Kim, George Stegeman, Silvia Carrasco, Lluis Torner, Mordechai Katz Jan 2003

Properties Of Quadratic Multi-Soliton Generation Near Phase-Match In Periodically Poled Potassium Titanyl Phosphate, Sergey Polyakov, Ladislav Jankovic, Hongki Kim, George Stegeman, Silvia Carrasco, Lluis Torner, Mordechai Katz

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

The properties of the multi-quadratic-soliton generation process have been investigated both theoretically and experimentally near and on phase-match in non-critically-phase-matched, periodically poled, potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP). It was found that multi-soliton generation occurs primarily due to asymmetry in the input beam and at phase-matching. The number of solitons generated depended on the input intensity in a non-trivial way.
