Current modeling of endothelial cell mechanics does not account for the network of F-actin that permeates the
cytoplasm. This network, the distributed cytoplasmic structural actin (DCSA), extends from apical to basal membranes, with
frequent attachments. Stress fibers are intercalated within…

The thesis examines the utility of a pre-developed conceptual framework for learning about the human resource development (HRD) needs in a national context. The literature review focuses on knowledge-building within the main development theories and paradigms, two mainstream approaches to…

This study examined the prevalence of information epidemics in the physics literature. The primary interest was to find out whether outliers observed on time series charts of literatures are due to information epidemics, whether these epidemics are widespread occurrences in…

A continuum model describing the steady-state actin dynamics of the cytoskeleton of living cells Has been
developed to aid in the interpretation of photoactivated fluorescence experiments. In a simplified cell geometry, the model
assumes uniform concentrations of cytosolic and cytoskeletal…

The action of adenine nucleotides on vascular endothelial cells is apparently mediated by the local flow conditions. Because
nucleotides are sequentially degraded from ATP - ADP - AMP -- adenosine by ecto-enzymes at the endothelial surface, it has been
hypothesized…

The analogous techniques of photoactivation of fluorescence (PAF) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching
(FRAP) have been applied previously to the study of actin dynamics in living cells. Traditionally, separate
experiments estimate the mobility of actin monomer or the lifetime of…
