“The Ingenious Unravelling of Evidence”: Empathy, Extinction, and Wells’s The Croquet Player
(2019-09-01)While we are increasingly challenged to imagine a world without humans, we have also become increasingly attentive to the subject of empathy, in popular culture, the humanities, and the sciences. In The Time Machine (1895), ... -
TRANSHUMANISM, FRANKENSTEIN, AND EXTINCTION
(2018)Shelley's novel has been fertile ground for ecocritics over the last two decades. In Ecocriticism and the Idea of Culture (2014, 2016) I wrote about Frankenstein and culture's dialectical horror of nature. As a narrative ... -
Comparative Genomics and Evolution of Proteins Associated with RNA Polymerase II C-Terminal Domain
(2005-11)The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II provides an anchoring point for a wide variety of proteins involved in mRNA synthesis and processing. Most of what is known about CTD-protein interactions ... -
Comparative Study of the Roles of AhpC and KatE as Respiratory Antioxidants in Brucella abortus 2308
(2010-10)Brucella strains are exposed to potentially toxic levels of H2O2 both as a consequence of their aerobic metabolism and through the respiratory burst of host phagocytes. To evaluate the relative contributions of the sole ... -
Comparative impacts of two major hurricane seasons on the Neuse River and western Pamlico Sound ecosystems
(2004-06-22)Ecosystem-level impacts of two hurricane seasons were compared several years after the storms in the largest lagoonal estuary in the U.S., the Albemarle–Pamlico Estuarine System. A segmented linear regression flow model ... -
Comparative evaluation of two severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) vaccine candidates in mice challenged with SARS coronavirus
(2006-03-01)Two different severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) vaccine strategies were evaluated for theirability to protect against live SARS coronavirus (CoV) challenge in a murine model of infection.A whole killed (inactivated ... -
Comparative DNA Analysis of Solid Tumors by Flow Cytometric and Image Analyses of Touch Imprints and Flow Cell Suspensions
(1992-09-01)Comparative DNA analysis by flow cytometric (FCM) and image analyses (IA) has shown a high concordance rate. When present, discordance has been attributed to the presence of aneuploid cell populations detected only by IA, ... -
Compactifications of convergens spaces
(1979)This paper summarizes most of the results to date on convergence space compactifications, and establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of largest and smallest compactifications subject to various ... -
Compact operators and nest representations of limit algebras
(2007-01-04)In this paper we study the nest representations $ \rho: \mathcal{A} \longrightarrow \operatorname{Alg} \mathcal{N}$ of a strongly maximal TAF algebra $ \mathcal{A}$, whose ranges contain non-zero compact operators. We ... -
Combined effects of aberrant MEK1 activity and BCL2 overexpression on relieving the cytokine dependency of human and murine hematopoietic cells
(2000-06-06)The MEK1 oncoprotein plays a critical role in Ras/Raf/ MEK/MAPK-mediated transmission of mitogenic signals from cell surface receptors to the nucleus. In order to examine this pathway's role in leukemic transformation, a ...
