The role of radiative cooling plays an important role in the formation of structures in collapsing gas. In this dissertation I examine the impact of cooling in two formation scenarios: first, the...
Health insurance stands at the center of global debates on how nations can ensure equitable access to health care, especially for countries like Vietnam whose integration into the global economy...
This chapter surveys the history of telecommunications from a global perspective and highlights three influential interpretative traditions. It has two parts. The first part defines “...
Cells adapt to familiar changes in their environment by activating predefined regulatory programs that establish adaptive gene expression states. These hard-wired pathways, however, may be...
At the core of gene regulatory networks are transcription factors (TFs) that recognize specific DNA sequences and target distinct gene sets. Characterizing the DNA binding specificity of all TFs...
The western tropical South Pacific (WTSP) Ocean has been recognized as a global hot spot of dinitrogen (N2) fixation. Here, as in other marine environments across the oceans, N2 fixation studies...
Oligotrophic regions play a central role in global biogeochemical cycles, with microbial communities in these areas representing an important term in global carbon budgets. While the general...
The globally distributed diazotroph Trichodesmium contributes importantly to nitrogen inputs in the oligotrophic oceans. Sites of dissolved organic matter (DOM) accumulation could promote the...
The patterns of the large-scale, meso- and submesoscale surface circulation on biogeochemical and biological distributions are examined in the western tropical South Pacific (WTSP) in the context...
Considering their distribution, thickness, and complexity around the margins of the Quaternary ice-sheets in the Northern Hemisphere, loess sequences can be considered as one of the best records...
