We study combinatorial aspects of the representation theory of the 0-Hecke algebra $H_n(0)$, a deformation of the group algebra of the symmetric group $\SS_n$. We study the action of $H_n(0)$ on the polynomial ring in $n$ ...

Four texts from the 13th century make up the first attestations of the "Constance" plot, a version of ATU 706 "The Father who Wanted to Marry his Daughter." This dissertation harmonizes a comparative investigation of these ...

The briarane diterpenoids are a large class of natural products derived from gorgonians and other corals from throughout the world. Despite the extremely large number of briaranes that have been isolated, along with the ...

Short-chain carboxylic acids, aldehydes, and ketones are important intermediates and end products of many metabolic processes. Their levels in biofluids and tissues can reflect the status of specific metabolic reactions, ...

In the past 25 years, we have seen a massive shift to communication technologies that allow increased choice of content for citizens. Using an experiment, this study explores the relationship between individual differences, ...

To understand environmental conditions in Lake Superior over the last two centuries, we conducted a paleolimnological study on two sediment cores collected in the eastern and western regions of the lake. We examined the ...

We present a multi-wavelength study of the nearby supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). Easily resolvable supernova remnants such as Cas A provide a unique opportunity to test supernova explosion models. Additionally, ...

INTRODUCTION: The literature regarding survival of short implants is conflicting. Furthermore, excessive crown-to-implant ratios have been cited in the literature as being detrimental to implant survival. Hence, the ...

The 340B Program is a federal program that provides certain healthcare safety-net providers mandated price reductions on outpatient drugs. In 2010, critical access hospitals (CAHs)--small hospitals in isolated rural ...

Water balances of Southwestern North America and of northern South America are dependent on positions of the North American (Mexican) Monsoon and the ITCZ respectively. The North American Monsoon leads to significant ...

45 Minutes for 128 Musicians has demonstrated a wide range of possibilities regarding the sincere incorporation of improvisational and improvisationally-derived procedures in orchestral composition. Huge groupings of ...

Abstract The recent release of the unlicensed 60 GHz band tackles the increasing demand for more bandwidth in the wireless consumer electronics market. In order to meet the cost require-ments of this market, many research ...

Recently, 60GHz system is a hot topic for its large unlicensed bandwidth and small component size. However, some components could not be integrated into the 60GHz communication subsystem either because of their large size ...

Two key players in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are amyloid beta protein (Aβ) and apolipoprotein E (apoE). We and others have reported that Aβ elevates apoE protein levels in astrocytes, which in turn could ...

The UV-Vis and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of the d1 oxomolybdenum tetrachloride ([MoOCl4]-) anion in C4v symmetry have been calculated using the ab initio complete-active-space self-consistent-field ...

Numerous varieties of metal-organic compounds have been synthesized to date, ranging in size from complexes containing only one or two metal atoms to supramolecular clusters, cages, and periodic latices. Metal-organic ...

From historiographies to dramas, captivity narratives to mercantile ledgers, Anglo-Muslim studies has been in pursuit of an overall conceptualization the uniquely insular English population had of the Muslim Turks of the ...

The prairie pothole region (PPR) is among the most extensively altered ecosystems on Earth. This region covers approximately 780,000 km2 of central North America, and contains numerous glacially formed wetlands embedded ...
