Tsc2 Modulates Actin Cytoskeleton And Focal Adhesion Through Tsc1-Binding Domain And The Rac1 Gtpase, Elena Goncharova, Dmitry Goncharov, Daniel J. Noonan, Vera P Krymskaya
Tsc2 Modulates Actin Cytoskeleton And Focal Adhesion Through Tsc1-Binding Domain And The Rac1 Gtpase, Elena Goncharova, Dmitry Goncharov, Daniel J. Noonan, Vera P Krymskaya
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Faculty Publications
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) 1 and TSC2 are thought to be involved in protein translational regulation and cell growth, and loss of their function is a cause of TSC and lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). However, TSC1 also activates Rho and regulates cell adhesion. We found that TSC2 modulates actin dynamics and cell adhesion and the TSC1-binding domain (TSC2-HBD) is essential for this function of TSC2. Expression of TSC2 or TSC2-HBD in TSC2-/- cells promoted Rac1 activation, inhibition of Rho, stress fiber disassembly, and focal adhesion remodeling. The down-regulation of TSC1 with TSC1 siRNA in TSC2-/- cells activated Rac1 and induced loss of …
Signature Of Electron Capture In Iron‐Rich Ejecta Of Sn 2003du, Peter Hoflich, Christopher L. Gerardy, Ken-Ichi Nomoto, Kentaro Motohara, Robert A. Fesen
Signature Of Electron Capture In Iron‐Rich Ejecta Of Sn 2003du, Peter Hoflich, Christopher L. Gerardy, Ken-Ichi Nomoto, Kentaro Motohara, Robert A. Fesen
Dartmouth Scholarship
Late-time near-infrared and optical spectra of the normal-bright Type Ia supernova 2003du about 300 days after the explosion are presented. At this late epoch, the emission profiles of well-isolated [Fe II] lines (in particular that of the strong 1.644 μm feature) trace out the global kinematic distribution of radioactive material in the expanding supernova ejecta. In SN 2003du, the 1.644 μm [Fe II] line seems to show a flat-topped profile, indicative of a thick but hollow-centered expanding shell, rather than a strongly peaked profile that would be expected from a "center-filled" distribution. Based on detailed models for exploding Chandrasekhar-mass white …
Magnetoelectronics With Magnetoelectrics, Christian Binek, Bernard Doudin
Magnetoelectronics With Magnetoelectrics, Christian Binek, Bernard Doudin
Christian Binek Publications
Magnetoelectric films are proposed as key components for spintronic applications. The net magnetic moment created by an electric field in a magnetoelectric thin film influences the magnetization state of a neighbouring ferromagnetic layer through exchange coupling. Pure electrical control of magnetic confi gurations of giant magnetoresistance spin valves and tunnelling magnetoresistance elements is therefore achievable. Estimates based on documented magnetoelectric tensor values show that exchange fields reaching 100 mT can be obtained. We propose a mechanism alternative to current-induced magnetization switching, providing access to a wide range of device impedance values and opening the possibility of simple logic functions.
Interdependent Assembly Of Specific Regulatory Lipids And Membrane Fusion Proteins Into The Vertex Ring Domain Of Docked Vacuoles, Rutilio A. Fratti, Youngsoo Jun, Alexey J. Merz, Nathan Margolis, William Wickner
Interdependent Assembly Of Specific Regulatory Lipids And Membrane Fusion Proteins Into The Vertex Ring Domain Of Docked Vacuoles, Rutilio A. Fratti, Youngsoo Jun, Alexey J. Merz, Nathan Margolis, William Wickner
Dartmouth Scholarship
Membrane microdomains are assembled by lipid partitioning (e.g., rafts) or by protein-protein interactions (e.g., coated vesicles). During docking, yeast vacuoles assemble "vertex" ring-shaped microdomains around the periphery of their apposed membranes. Vertices are selectively enriched in the Rab GTPase Ypt7p, the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex (HOPS)-VpsC Rab effector complex, SNAREs, and actin. Membrane fusion initiates at vertex microdomains. We now find that the "regulatory lipids" ergosterol, diacylglycerol and 3- and 4-phosphoinositides accumulate at vertices in a mutually interdependent manner. Regulatory lipids are also required for the vertex enrichment of SNAREs, Ypt7p, and HOPS. Conversely, SNAREs and actin …
A Performance And Schedulability Analysis Of An Autonomous Mobile Robot, Ala' Adel Qadi, Steve Goddard, Jiangyang Huang, Shane Farritor
A Performance And Schedulability Analysis Of An Autonomous Mobile Robot, Ala' Adel Qadi, Steve Goddard, Jiangyang Huang, Shane Farritor
School of Computing: Technical Reports
We present an autonomous, mobile, robotics application that requires dynamic adjustments of task execution rates to meet the demands of an unpredictable environment. The Robotic Safety Marker (RSM) system consists of one lead robot, the foreman, and a group of guided robots, called robotic safety markers (a.k.a., barrels). An extensive analysis is conducted of two applications running on the foreman. Both applications require adjusting task periods to achieve desired performance metrics with respect to the speed at which a system task is completed, the accuracy of RSM placement, or the number of RSMs controlled by the foreman. A static priority …
Court Delay In Developing Countries With Special References To China, Qing-Yun Jiang
Court Delay In Developing Countries With Special References To China, Qing-Yun Jiang
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
The judiciary in developing countries is troubled with various problems. Specifically, court delays, backlogs and uncertainty associated with unexpected outcomes have diminished the quality of justice and leads to loss of confidence of the general public in judiciary. Court delay is always coupled with impartiality, corruption and low quality of judgment, etc. The reform program needs to address the major causes of the deterioration in the quality of court services and address the root political, economic causes of an inefficient and inequitable judiciary and not simply deal with its symptoms. Like many other judiciaries in developing countries, court delay is …

German Working Papers in Law and Economics
Einige Autoren sich haben in Bezug auf das derzeitige und antizipierte künftige Wachstum des elektronischen Geschäftsverkehrs, beispielsweise des Internethandels, dafür ausgesprochen, die gesetzlichen und ökonomischen Institutionen den Herausforderungen der neuen Handelstechnologien in gleichem Umfang anzupassen wie dies in Reaktion auf die technologischen und organisatorischen Erneuerungen des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts geschah. Andere Autoren äußern sich skeptischer. Sie argumentieren, dass die neuen Entwicklungen eher als eine Änderung dem Umfang, nicht der Art nach zu verstehen seien und dass ihnen besser Rechnung getragen werden könne, indem die bestehenden Institutionen im evolutorischen Sinne ausgeweitet und modifiziert werden. Im folgenden Artikel wird eine mittlere …

Über Den Ökonomischen Sinn Und Unsinn Eines Haftungsdurchgriffs Im Recht Der Kapitalgesellschaften, Stefano Lombardo, Nils Wunderlich
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
Gläubigerschutz im Recht der Kapitalgesellschaften als Sozialschutz? Wurden Vertragsgläubiger von Lehre und Rechtssprechung als einfache Verbraucher, die den Schutz der Rechtsordnung gegen die Ohnmacht ihrer professionellen Vertragsparteien brauchen, betrachtet? Wurde der Kreditmarkt wegen schwerer Marktimperfektionen, die zu ineffizienten Lösungen zwischen den Vertragsparteien führen, als natürliches Feld für Sozialgesetzgebung verstanden? Diese Fragen sind heute natürliche Gedanken, wenn man betrachtet, dass es dem EuGH in einer Laufzeit von fünf Jahren gelungen ist, die Sitztheorie aufzugeben und einen Markt für Gesellschaftstypen im EG-Binnenmarkt zu ermöglichen. Werden es Vertragsgläubiger in Zukunft mit einem unübersehbarem Dickicht aus Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung aus Großbritannien oder Irland …

Wer Sollte Die Kosten Von Unfällen Am Arbeitsplatz Tragen? Die Schwierige Koordination Von Arbeiterunfallversicherung Und Delikthaftung Aus Ökonomischer Sicht, Fernando Gomez-Pomar, Mireia Artigot-Golobardes
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
Als Alternativen zum Deliktsrecht sind unterschiedliche institutionelle Schemata entwickelt worden. Die Delikthaftung sorgt dafür, dass der Angeklagte das Schadenersatzurteil aus eigener Tasche bezahlen muss, nachdem der Schaden eingetreten ist. Allerdings ist es möglich, sich gegen dieses Risiko durch Zahlung einer entsprechenden Prämie vor dem Eintritt des Schadens zu versichern. Für viele Arten von Unfällen existieren neben dem Haftungsrecht andere Systeme, zum Beispiel private Versicherung, Sozialversicherung und Ausgleichfonds. Das Problem diese heterogenen Ausgleichssysteme zu koordinieren beschäftigt Juristen seit Jahrzehnten. Vor kurzem haben Ökonomen begonnen, diese Koordination aus ihrer Perspektive zu analysieren. Nichts desto trotz gibt es fundamentale Unterscheide zwischen diesen alternativen …
Erfolgsmessung In Gerichten, Martin Schneider
Erfolgsmessung In Gerichten, Martin Schneider
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
In der Debatte um Reform und Modernisierung der Justiz geht es heute „nicht mehr um das Ob, sondern nur um das Wie“. Alle Bundesländer haben damit begonnen, betriebswirtschaftliche Instrumente, die in Privatunternehmen üblich sind, auch in der Justiz zu erproben. Ebenso zentral wie kontrovers ist dabei die Erfolgs- oder Leistungsmessung von Gerichten. Noch gibt es keine einheitliche Methodik, es liegen aber vereinzelte Ansätze vor. Beim „Benchmarking“ der Sozialgerichte in Nordrhein-Westfalen etwa wird die Auftragserfüllung der Gerichte anhand von Kennzahlen miteinander verglichen, um Gerichte zum Aufgreifen so genannter bester Praktiken zu bewegen. Im so genannten Neuen Steuerungsmodell, das für die Gerichtsbarkeiten …
Ökonomische Bewertung Von Kündigungsschutzregeln, Klaus Heine, Karl-Heinz Schild
Ökonomische Bewertung Von Kündigungsschutzregeln, Klaus Heine, Karl-Heinz Schild
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
Um die Probleme des deutschen Arbeitsmarktes zu lösen, wird immer wieder eine Flexibilisierung des Arbeitsmarktes gefordert. Dahinter steckt meist die Idee, das „(Flächen-) Tarifkartell“ von Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgeberverbänden aufzubrechen und die Lohnverhandlungen vermehrt auf betrieblicher Ebene anzusiedeln, so dass es zu einer stärker produktivitätsorientierten Lohnpolitik kommt. Unter der Flexibilisierung des Arbeitsmarktes ist aber nicht nur eine Reform des Lohnverhandlungsprozesses zwischen Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgebern zu verstehen, sondern auch eine Veränderung beziehungsweise Lockerung der rechtlichen Regelungen, die das Arbeitsverhältnis betreffen. Konkret geht es in dieser Diskussion meist um eine Lockerung des Kündigungsschutzes, damit sich Unternehmen bei sich verschlechternder geschäftlicher Situation durch eine …

Wie Kommt Es Zu Umfangreichem Sozialschutz Im Zivilrecht?, Georg Von Wangenheim
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
Die Betonung des Gegensatzes von Sozialschutz und Marktrationalität im Titel des Symposiums weist darauf hin, dass Sozialschutz im Zivilrecht nicht – oder wenigstens nicht immer – effizientes Recht ist. Wenn über ineffizientes Recht gesprochen wird, stellt sich notwendig auch die Frage, wie dieses ineffiziente Recht nachhaltig überwunden werden könnte. Um das zu klären, muss man zunächst herausarbeiten, woher denn das ineffiziente Recht kommt – einerseits damit man aus der Ursachenforschung Rückschlüsse darauf ziehen kann, wie man die Überwindung bewerkstelligen könnte, andererseits auch damit man die Nachhaltigkeit der Überwindung sichern kann, denn ohne die Kenntnis, woher das ineffiziente Recht kommt, kann …

Störung Der Vertragsparität, Dieter Schmidtchen, Roland Kirstein
German Working Papers in Law and Economics
Dieser Beitrag behandelt Begriff, Ursachen, Wirkungen sowie Bewertung und mögliche Ausgleichsmaßnahmen gestörter Vertragsparität. Dabei wird auf die ökonomische Verhandlungstheorie und die Theorie der Wettbewerbsmärkte zurückgegriffen. Es werden in der Rechtswissenschaft vorfindbare Definitionen in die ökonomische Sprache übersetzt und ihre logische Konsistenz überprüft. Unter normativen Gesichtspunkten werden Begründungen für einen rechtspolitischen Handlungsbedarf im Falle gestörter Vertragsparität untersucht. Abschließend werden zwei Klassen von Möglichkeiten zum Ausgleich gestörter Vertragsparität erörtert: Vertragsregulierung und Ordnungspolitik.

The Quandary Of Serving Multiple Masters: An Institutional Exploratory Analysis Of Publishing In Business Law, Robert S. Rubin, John R. Olson, Laura Hartman, James A. Belohlav
ExpressO
Notwithstanding published articles on the nature and quality of research and scholarship in practically every other business discipline, to date there has been little systematic evaluation of relevant journals in the business law discipline. This deficiency is due, in part, to the fact that business law may still be described as a developing discipline. Thus, the focus of this article is on delineating the nature of research and scholarship within the business law discipline. Specifically, the publishing practices of business law faculty from academic institutions that were members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), the …

The Educational Roots Of Reformed Scholasticism: Dialectic And Scriptural Exegesis In The Sixteenth Century, Amy Nelson Burnett
The Educational Roots Of Reformed Scholasticism: Dialectic And Scriptural Exegesis In The Sixteenth Century, Amy Nelson Burnett
Department of History: Faculty Publications
Over the last twenty years research on later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century theology has led to a reappraisal or Protestant scholasticism and its relation to the Reformation. Earlier historians of doctrine viewed Protestant scholasticism as overly rationalistic at the expense of Reformation biblicism, heavily dependent on Aristotelian philosophy, and organized around a central doctrine such as predestination. The current consensus is that Protestant scholasticism reflected the Orthodox theologians’ deep familiarity with and commitment to the scriptural text; that if it did appropriate Aristotle, such appropriation was eclectic rather than slavish; and that the idea of a central dogma organizing all of …

Variable Resolution Discretization In The Joint Space, Christopher K. Monson, Kevin Seppi, David Wingate, Todd S. Peterson
Faculty Publications
We present JoSTLe, an algorithm that performs value iteration on control problems with continuous actions, allowing this useful reinforcement learning technique to be applied to problems where a priori action discretization is inadequate. The algorithm is an extension of a variable resolution technique that works for problems with continuous states and discrete actions. Results are given that indicate that JoSTLe is a promising step toward reinforcement learning in a fully continuous domain.
Resorts In Southern Appalachia: A Microcosm Of American Resorts In The Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Centuries., Mary F. Fanslow
Resorts In Southern Appalachia: A Microcosm Of American Resorts In The Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Centuries., Mary F. Fanslow
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Five resorts in East Tennessee--Montvale Springs and the Wonderland Hotel in the Smokies, Tate Spring in the Holston River Valley, Unaka Springs on the Nolichucky River, and the Cloudland Hotel at the summit of Roan Mountain--stand testament to the proposition that their region engaged fully with areas outside southern Appalachia. Their origins, clientele, and health and leisure offerings followed those of other resorts of the same time period. Moreover, the effects of national socioeconomic trends on the hotels serve as a contradiction to the stereotype of southern Appalachia as an isolated region barricaded from the outside world by mountainous topography. …

Burial Practices In Southern Appalachia., Donna W. Stansberry
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was conducted in an attempt to determine whether certain burial practices are unique to the people of Southern Appalachia. Eight individuals were interviewed, including a minister and a funeral director. As a result of the research, it was found that, although a strong sense of community and religion still prevails, making certain burial rituals distinctive to the people of Southern Appalachia, they are slowly eroding due to the growing presence of the modern American funeral industry.
Qualitative research methods were used to analyze a segment of the Southern Appalachian population, with literature reviews of related material and in-depth …

Use Of The Sreb Leadership Development Framework In Preservice Principal Preparation Programs: A Qualitative Investigation., Robert C. Vick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Although nearly everyone agrees that principals need formal training to prepare for their positions, few agree on what the nature of this training should be. Advanced university education may teach examples of leadership behaviors, but is it likely to transmit the practical knowledge and behaviors that are the hallmarks of successful principals?
This study focused on the 13 critical success factors for school leaders as created by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB, 2002). The purpose of the study was to identify the extent to which these 13 standards have been addressed in formal and informal development training experiences of …
Investigation Of The Relationship Between A Job-Embedded Model Of Professional Development And Reading Achievement Of Elementary School Students., Janet Faulk
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The development of highly effective teachers is of interest to school systems because the quality of the teachers is associated with students' success. This study explored the relationship between teachers' participation in a job-embedded model of professional development and students' achievement in reading.
Teachers in the third grade and fifth grade at five different elementary schools received more than 100 hours of training. The reading achievement scores of students assigned to these teachers were compared to the scores of students whose teachers did not participate in the training. Findings in this study were mixed. Fifth-grade students whose teachers participated in …
