  • Inside Organizations: Pricing, Politics, and Path Dependence 
    Gibbons, Robert S. (Annual Reviews, 2010-03)
    When economists have considered organizations, much attention has focused on the boundary of the firm, rather than its internal structures and processes. In contrast, this review sketches three approaches to the economic ...

    BACKGROUND: In designing electronic personal health records (PHRs) and related health technologies, lay perspectives are rarely solicited, and we know little about what individuals want and need. OBJECTIVE: To learn how ...
  • Insights into GATA-1 Mediated Gene Activation versus Repression via Genome-wide Chromatin Occupancy Analysis 
    Yu, Ming; Riva, Laura; Schindler, Yocheved; Moran, Tyler B.; Cheng, Yong; Yu, Duonan; Hardison, Ross; Weiss, Mitchell J.; Orkin, Stuart H.; Bernstein, Bradley E.; Fraenkel, Ernest; Cantor, Alan B. (Elsevier, 2009-11)
    The transcription factor GATA-1 is required for terminal erythroid maturation and functions as an activator or repressor depending on gene context. Yet its in vivo site selectivity and ability to distinguish between ...
  • Insights into the different dioxygen activation pathways of methane and toluene monooxygenase hydroxylases 
    Bochevarov, Arteum D.; Li, Jianing; Song, Woon Ju; Friesner, Richard A.; Lippard, Stephen J. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-11)
    The methane and toluene monooxygenase hydroxylases (MMOH and TMOH, respectively) have almost identical active sites, yet the physical and chemical properties of their oxygenated intermediates, designated P*, H[subscript ...
  • In Silico Assembly And Nanomechanical Characterization Of Carbon Nanotube Buckypaper 
    Cranford, Steven Wayne; Buehler, Markus J. (Institute of Physics, 2010-07)
    Carbon nanotube sheets or films, also known as 'buckypaper', have been proposed for use in actuating, structural and filtration systems, based in part on their unique and robust mechanical properties. Computational modeling ...
  • In silico estimates of cell electroporation by electrical incapacitation waveforms 
    Weaver, James C.; Burns, Stephen K.; Smith, Kyle Christopher; Esser, Axel Thomas; Gowrishankar, Thiruvallur R. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-11)
    We use a system model of a cell and approximate magnitudes of electrical incapacitation (EI) device waveforms to estimate conditions that lead to responses with or without electroporation (EP) of cell membranes near ...
  • In Silico Investigation of Intracranial Blast Mitigation with Relevance to Military Traumatic Brain Injury 
    Nyein, Michelle K.; Jason, Amanda M.; Yu, Li; Pita, Claudio M.; Joannopoulos, John D.; Moore, David F.; Radovitzky, Raul (National Academy of Sciences, 2010-11)
    Blast-induced traumatic brain injury is the most prevalent military injury in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet little is known about the mechanical effects of blasts on the human head, and still less is known about how personal ...
  • In-Silico Patterning of Vascular Mesenchymal Cells in Three Dimensions 
    Danino, Tal; Volfson, Dmitri; Bhatia, Sangeeta N.; Tsimring, Lev; Hasty, Jeff (Public Library of Science, 2011-05)
    Cells organize in complex three-dimensional patterns by interacting with proteins along with the surrounding extracellular matrix. This organization provides the mechanical and chemical cues that ultimately influence a ...
  • In Situ, Airborne Instrumentation: Addressing and Solving Measurement Problems in Ice Clouds 
    Cziczo, Daniel James; Baumgardner, D.; Avallone, L.; Bansemer, A.; Borrmann, S,; Brown, P.; Bundke, U.; Chuang, P. Y,; Field, P. (American Meteorological Society, 2012-02)
    A meeting of 31 international experts on in situ measurements from aircraft was held to identify unresolved questions concerning ice formation and evolution in ice clouds, assess the current state of instrumentation that ...
