Allegories Of The Heart, Fiona Robertson

Studies in Scottish Literature

"Allegories of the Heart" uses allegory (or "telling otherwise") as a means of investigating Scott’s presence in literary works which do not specifically adapt or rework his texts, arguing that this is an underexplored area of imaginative and figurative engagement with Scott’s work. Key texts are The Heart of Mid-Lothian, The Monastery, and Hawthorne’s fictions "Earth’s Holocaust" and The Scarlet Letter.

Characterization Of A Protozoan Phosducin-Like Protein-3 (Phlp-3) Reveals Conserved Redox Activity, Rachel L. Kooistra, Robin David, Ana C. Ruiz, Sean W. Powers, Kyle J. Haselton, Kaitlyn Kiernan, Andrew M. Blagborough, Ken W. Olsen, Catherine Putonti, Stefan M. Kanzok

Chemistry: Faculty Publications and Other Works

We recently identified three novel thioredoxin-like genes in the genome of the protozoan parasite Plasmodium that belong to the Phosducin-like family of proteins (PhLP). PhLPs are small cytosolic proteins hypothesized to function in G-protein signaling and protein folding. Although PhLPs are highly conserved in eukaryotes from yeast to mammals, only a few representatives have been experimentally characterized to date. In addition, while PhLPs contain a thioredoxin domain, they lack a CXXC motif, a strong indicator for redox activity, and it is unclear whether members of the PhLP family are enzymatically active. Here, we describe PbPhLP-3 as the first phosducin-like protein …

Lithography-Free Fabrication Of Crystalline Silicon Nanowires Using Amorphous Silicon Substrate For Wide-Angle Energy Absorption Applications, Sara Magdi, Joumana Mohamed Tysir El-Rifai, Mohamed A. Swillam

Faculty Journal Articles

We report a one-step fabrication technique of silicon nanowires using KrF excimer laser. Nanowires (NWs) are fabricated by redistributing the silicon mass within the sample without etching any of the deposited amorphous silicon (a-Si). Melting and resolidification of a-Si after multiple pulses laser irradiation induced the formation of NWs with lengths more than triple the thickness of the deposited film achieving a longer light path length. This resulted in a broadband absorption enhancement with reflection less than 5% for angle of incidences up to 60°. The effect of changing each laser parameter such as energy density, exposure time, and frequency …
