Summary: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are two-dimensionally confined quantum wires that have the potential to impact a variety of renewable energy applications. SWCNTs have several fundamental properties that make them attractive for sustainable energy conversion technologies, including high electron and hole mobilities, size-tunable ionization potentials and electron affinities in an energy range relevant to many photovoltaic devices, and optical transitions in the visible and...

Saprock: A long term recorder of ground shaking, Peninsular Ranges, southern California Marck Maroun ABSTRACT Saprolization is commonly viewed as an isovolumetric process. However, it has not been studied extensively in seismogenic areas. Hence, we undertook a detailed study of five sites located at disparate distances to the seismically active Elsinore fault. Data obtained during this study along with the results of earlier investigation of five additional sites, support the idea of...

This is a podcast and slides of a lecture given on Nov 9, 2011 in the course Phar201 (http://www.sdsc.edu/pb/edu/pharm201/) at the University of California San Diego by Prof. Michael Gilson. It covers structure and ligand based structure methods used in drug discovery.

A survey of the human genome was performed to understand the constituency of protein methyltransferases (both protein arginine and lysine methyltransferases) and the relatedness of their catalytic domains. We identified 51 protein lysine methyltransferase proteins based on similarity to the canonical Drosophila Su(var)3-9, enhancer of zeste (E(z)), and trithorax (trx) domain. Disruptor of telomeric silencing-1-like, a known protein lysine methyltransferase, did not fit within the protein...

Doctoral thesis defended AUTO-HEMOTHERAPY ALREADY IN 1924 The autohemotherapy is a valuable therapeutic method in numerous skin diseases, especially in pruriginous and furuncles. This is a summary of the conclusion from the PhD thesis entitled The autohemotherapy in dermatoses, presented by Dr. Carlos Alberto David's School of Medicine, University of Porto, Portugal, in 1924. The thesis shows that the technique is used since the first half of the nineteenth century and presents cases that...
