Early Concept Development and Safety Analysis of Future Transportation Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-12)As transportation systems become increasingly complex and the roles of human operators and autonomous software continue to evolve, traditional safety-related analytical methods are becoming inadequate. Traditional hazard ... -
Early detection of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions in the cervix with quantitative spectroscopic imaging
(SPIE, 2013-07)Quantitative spectroscopy has recently been extended from a contact-probe to wide-area spectroscopic imaging to enable mapping of optical properties across a wide area of tissue. We train quantitative spectroscopic imaging ... -
Early Detection of Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), Infestation Using Data Mining
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-01-06)In the past 30 years, the red palm weevil (RPW), <i>Rhynchophorus ferrugineus</i> (Olivier), a pest that is highly destructive to all types of palms, has rapidly spread worldwide. However, detecting infestation with the ... -
Early Detection of the Aflatoxin B₁ Mutational Fingerprint: A Diagnostic Tool for Liver Cancer
(Informa UK Limited, 2017-07)Using duplex-consensus sequencing technology, we recently identified the characteristic high-resolution mutational spectrum of the liver carcinogen aflatoxin B₁ in a mouse model, many months before aflatoxin-induced tumors ... -
Early development of letter specialization in left fusiform is associated with better word reading and smaller fusiform face area
(Wiley, 2018-03)A functional region of left fusiform gyrus termed “the visual word form area” (VWFA) develops during reading acquisition to respond more strongly to printed words than to other visual stimuli. Here, we examined responses ... -
Early diagenesis of sulfur in Bornholm Basin sediments: The role of upward diffusion of isotopically “heavy” sulfide
(Elsevier BV, 2021-11)Sediment-hosted marine sulfur cycling has played a significant role in regulating Earth’s surface chemistry over our planet’s history. Microbially-mediated reactions involving sulfur are often accompanied by sulfur isotope ... -

Early Diagnosis and Management of Nitrogen Deficiency in Plants Utilizing Raman Spectroscopy
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-06)Nutrient deficiency alters growth and development of crop plants and compromises yield. Real-time non-invasive monitoring of the nutritional status of crops would allow timely applications of fertilizers to optimize for ... -
Early epigenomic and transcriptional changes reveal Elk-1 transcription factor as a therapeutic target in Huntington’s disease
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019-11)Huntington’s disease (HD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a late clinical onset despite ubiquitous expression of the mutant Huntingtin gene (HTT) from birth. Transcriptional dysregulation is a ... -
Early genome activation in Drosophila is extensive with an initial tendency for aborted transcripts and retained introns
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2019-06)Control of metazoan embryogenesis shifts from maternal to zygotic gene products as the zygotic genome becomes transcriptionally activated. In Drosophila, zygotic genome activation (ZGA) has been thought to occur in two ... -
The Early History of Heliospheric Science and the Spacecraft That Made It Possible
(Springer Netherlands, 2022-05-25)Abstract Our understanding of the interaction of the large-scale heliosphere with the local interstellar medium (LISM) has undergone a profound change since the very earliest analyses of the problem. In part, ... -
Early history of soil–structure interaction
(Elsevier, 2010-01)Soil–structure interaction is an interdisciplinary field of endeavor which lies at the intersection of soil and structural mechanics, soil and structural dynamics, earthquake engineering, geophysics and geomechanics, ... -
Early hydrodynamisation, energy loss and small systems in holographic heavy ion collisions
(EDP Sciences, 2017-03)There has been much recent progress in describing heavy ion collisions using strongly coupled methods. We start by introducing a few caveats in applying holography to QCD, after which we will highlight recent progress on ... -
Early Interactions of Murine Macrophages with Francisella tularensis Map to Mouse Chromosome 19
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-03)Differences among individuals in susceptibility to infectious diseases can be modulated by host genetics. Much of the research in this field has aimed to identify loci within the host genome that are associated with these ... -
Early Mars hydrology: Meridiani playa deposits and the sedimentary record of Arabia Terra
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-06)The Meridiani Planum region of Mars has been identified as a region of past aqueous activity by a combination of orbital and in situ observations that revealed evidence for sulfate-rich dirty evaporites formed in a playa ... -
Early nitrogenase ancestors encompassed novel active site diversity
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) infers predicted ancestral states for sites within sequences and can constrain the functions and properties of ancestors of ... -
EARLY OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF THE TYPE Ia SN 2014J IN M82
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12)We present optical and near infrared (NIR) observations of the nearby Type Ia SN 2014J. Seventeen optical and 23 NIR spectra were obtained from 10 days before (–10d) to 10 days after (+10d) the time of maximum B-band ... -
Early Onset of Kinetic Roughening due to a Finite Step Width in Hematin Crystallization
(American Physical Society, 2017-11)The structure of the interface of a growing crystal with its nutrient phase largely determines the growth dynamics. We demonstrate that hematin crystals, crucial for the survival of malaria parasites, transition from faceted ... -
The early origins and the growing popularity of the individual-subject analytic approach in human neuroscience
(Elsevier BV, 2021-03)In the last three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has transformed the field of cognitive neuroscience. A standard analytic approach entails aligning a set of individual activation maps in a common ... -
