Grasshopper DCMD : an undergraduate electrophysiology lab for investigating single-unit responses to behaviorally-relevant stimuli
(Faculty of Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2017-05)Avoiding capture from a fast-approaching predator is an important survival skill shared by many animals. Investigating the neural circuits that give rise to this escape behavior can provide a tractable demonstration of ... -
Thallium isotopes as tracers of recycled materials in subduction zones : review and new data for lavas from Tonga-Kermadec and Central America
(2017-04)Sediment is actively being subducted in every convergent margin worldwide. Yet, geochemical data for arc lavas from several subduction zones, such as Northern Tonga and Costa Rica have revealed either attenuated or limited ... -
Protein arginine methyltransferases interact with intraflagellar transport particles and change location during flagellar growth and resorption
(American Society for Celll Biology, 2017-03-15)Changes in protein by posttranslational modifications comprise an important mechanism for the control of many cellular processes. Several flagellar proteins are methylated on arginine residues during flagellar resorption; ... -
Seismic imaging of magma sills beneath an ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal system
(2017-01)Hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridge volcanic segments extracts heat from crustal magma bodies. However, the heat source driving hydrothermal circulation in ultramafic outcrops, where mantle rocks are exhumed in ... -
400 years of summer hydroclimate from stable isotopes in Iberian trees
(2016-11)Tree rings are natural archives that annually record distinct types of past climate variability depending on the parameters measured. Here, we use ring-width and stable isotopes in cellulose of trees from the northwestern ... -
Expanding the genetic toolkit in Xenopus : approaches and opportunities for human disease modeling
(Elsevier, 2016-04-22)The amphibian model Xenopus, has been used extensively over the past century to study multiple aspects of cell and developmental biology. Xenopus offers advantages of a non-mammalian system, including high fecundity, ... -
Effect of water activity on rates of serpentinization of olivine
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-07-14)The hydrothermal alteration of mantle rocks (referred to as serpentinization) occurs in submarine environments extending from mid-ocean ridges to subduction zones. Serpentinization affects the physical and chemical properties ... -
Organically bound iodine as a bottom-water redox proxy : preliminary validation and application
(2017-03-15)Carbonate-associated iodine (I/Ca) has been used as a proxy of local, upper-ocean redox conditions, and has successfully demonstrated highly dynamic spatial and temporal patterns across different time scales of Earth ... -
Frictional secondary circulation near an upwelled thermocline
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1982-12)A first order, linear analysis of thermocline upwelling shows that a quasigeostrophic baroclinic jet accompanies the upwelling. The secondary circulation induced in such a flow field in a meridional plane by turbulent ... -
A preliminary description of the CODE-1 field program
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1982-12)A Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) has been undertaken to identify and study the important dynamical processes which govern the wind-driven motion of coastal water over the continental shelf. The initial effort ...
