The Anatolian Cult of Sabazios
(2002)
In 1989 I published an article on examples of Attic vase painting which illustrate non-Greek divinities and cult rituals. Among the pieces I discussed was an Attic red figured krater from Spina, now in Ferrara, with a scene ...
Remedium amoris : a curse from Cumae in the British Museum
(2002)
One of the very first publications of lead curse tablets in modem times is that by Wilhelm Henzen, who presented, in 1846, along with a drawing of it made under the supervision of Theodor Mommsen himself, an example, of ...
"I don't know where my boy is!" : abduction and brainwashing in Stranger Things
(University of Missouri, Campus Writing Program, 2017)
In "Chapter Six: The Monster" of Netflix's Stranger Things, there's the big reveal: Eleven, the daughter of Terry, a former subject in the Central Intelligence Agency's Project MK-Ultra, was stolen -- abducted—by "he big ...
Precision agriculture : feeding the future
(University of Missouri, Campus Writing Program, 2017)
Agriculture has faced its fair share of adversity. In the 1930's and 40's, it was the dust bowl. The 1980's Farm Crisis was a byproduct of overproduction, poor investments, and bad decisions made during the boom years of ...
Quercetin potentiates docosahexaenoic acid to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced oxidative/inflammatory responses, alter lipid peroxidation products, and enhance the adaptive stress pathways in BV-2 microglial cells
(MDPI AG, 2019)
High levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the phospholipids of mammalian brain have generated increasing interest in the search for its role in regulating brain functions. Recent studies have provided evidence for ...
Understanding the asymmetrical thermoelectric performance for discovering promising thermoelectric materials
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Thermoelectric modules, consisting of multiple pairs of n- and p-type legs, enable converting heat into electricity and vice versa. However, the thermoelectric performance is often asymmetrical, in that one type outperforms ...
Conformal symmetry, accelerated observers, and nonlocality
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The acceleration transformations form a 4-parameter Abelian subgroup of the conformal group of Minkowski spacetime. The passive interpretation of acceleration transformations leads to a congruence of uniformly accelerated ...
Predicting monovalent ion correlation effects in nucleic acids
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
Ion correlation and fluctuation can play a potentially significant role in metal ion-nucleic acid interactions. Previous studies have focused on the effects for multivalent cations. However, the correlation and fluctuation ...
Patient judgments about hypertension control : the role of variability, trends, and outliers in visualized blood pressure data
(Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2019)
Background: Uncontrolled hypertension is a significant health problem in the United States, even though multiple drugs exist to effectively treat this chronic disease. Objective: As part of a larger project developing data ...
Studying gap junctions with PARIS : a new genetically encoded system manipulates the ph inside cells to detect whether they are coupled to each other
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2019)

Direct visualization of the E. coli Sec translocase engaging precursor proteins in lipid bilayers
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Escherichia coli exports proteins via a translocase comprising SecA and the translocon, SecYEG. Structural changes of active translocases underlie general secretory system function, yet directly visualizing dynamics has ...
Maximizing expected coverage of flow and opportunity for diversion in networked systems
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
Placement of facilities, such as those providing surveillance or assistance functions, is essential for effective and efficient system operation. Planning for where to provide these types of services in a network necessitates ...
Maternal dietary docosahexaenoic acid alters lipid peroxidation products and (N-3)/(n-6) fatty acid balance in offspring mice
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The abundance of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the mammalian brain has generated substantial interest in the search for its roles in regulating brain functions. Our recent study with a gene/stress mouse model provided ...
Comparative proteomic analysis unveils critical pathways underlying the role of Nitrogen fertilizer treatment in American elderberry
(MDPI AG, 2019)
American elderberry (Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis) is a rapidly growing specialty crop in Missouri and eastern North America. Nitrogen (N) is a major nutrient involved in plant growth and development. However, proteome ...
Isolation and characterization T4-and T7-like phages that infect the bacterial plant pathogen agrobacterium tumefaciens
(MDPI AG, 2019)
In the rhizosphere, bacteria–phage interactions are likely to have important impacts on the ecology of microbial communities and microbe–plant interactions. To better understand the dynamics of Agrobacteria–phage interactions, ...
