On a typically strong E. coli promoter, as nascent RNA grows to 8-10 nt⎯accompanied by scrunching 6-8 bp of the enlarged transcription bubble⎯the initial DNA-RNAP contacts disrupt, upstream bubble rewinds, promoter escape ...

Understanding the morphology of volcanic features on the Moon is essential to discovering their emplacement mechanisms. It is possible to use radar to distinguish different volcanic terrains on the Moon. In this work, we ...

This project looks at the various ways in which directors and actors have interpreted The Taming of the Shrew for the theater by examining several stage productions done in England and the United States in the last 35 years.

The interaction between a liquid and a solid substrate, as encountered in any wetting phenomenon, is relevant to a wide range of industrial and biological applications. The drying mechanism was first explored by Deegan and ...

Understanding domain wall (DW) motion in nanoscale ferromagnetic structures reveals intriguing physics, with tremendous potential applications in logic devices and racetrack memory. Work has been done to move a series of ...

Muscles are what allow animals to walk, jump, run and swim. While they are important in generating the force and power required for propulsive movements, they also are integral to slowing down, serving to absorb energy ...

Bedrock weathering is a fundamental component of critical zone geomorphology that can be influenced by rock strength, fracture spacing, mineralogy, and topoclimate. By quantifying rock strength, we can characterize bedrock ...
