Producing a Past: Cyrus Mccormick's Reaper from Heritage to History
… of Cyrus McCormick's 1831 invention of the reaper came to be incorporated into the American historical cannon. From 1884 to 1932, the McCormick Harvester family and their various affiliated businesses created a useable past about their departed patriarch, Cyrus McCormick, and his role in …

The MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft : humans and machines in action
Remotely piloted aircraft and the people that control them are changing how the US military operates aircraft and those who fly, yet few know what "drone" operators actually do, why they do what they do, or how they shape and reflect remote air warfare and human-machine relationships. What do the …

Characterization of three Drosophila melanogaster regulators of programmed cell death that lead to caspase activation
… contains three currently novel regulators: reaper, head involution defective (hid), and grim. The C. elegans gene ced-4 is necessary for the proper execution of programmed cell deaths during development. A mammalian homolog, Apaf-1, has similar functions. Until recently, a Drosophila homolog …

Jokes from the Gallows
… of the story works as a “chauffer,” a grim reaper-type, escorting the recently deceased into the afterlife. In the project’s critical introduction, I discuss the authors, including J. Robert Lennon and Octavia Butler, who inspired my fiction and shaped my views on dark humor</p>

Genetic and Biochemical Analyses of the Necessity for Caspase Activation by the CED4-Domain Proteins, APAF-1 and DARK
… suppresses the apoptotic function of the genes reaper, grim, and hid. Recombinant Grim protein was shown to antagonize IAP-mediated caspase inhibition in vitro. Peptides corresponding to the conserved Amino-termini of the reaper, grim and hid genes could compete for a binding site also used by …

Communicative Meaning: Otherwise than the Denial of Death
… is guided by the metaphor of mythical Grim Reaper, the reader should not be confused about the menacing tone; Ultimately this dissertation is about life more than it is about death.

Genetic analysis of programmed cell death in Drosophila melanogaster
… cysteine proteases. In Drosophila, the proteins, Reaper (Rpr), Head involution defective (Hid), and Grim, induce cell death via a mechanism that involves caspase activation. In order to further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the control of apoptosis, we conducted screens for genes involved in …

p53 in a Genetic Model: Illuminating Adaptive Radiation Responses
… of two tightly linked cell death activators, reaper and sickle. When challenged by ionizing radiation, Dmp53 mutants exhibit radiosensitivity and genomic instability, indicating in our model, apoptosis is important for maintenance of genomic stability in response to ionizing radiation. I also …

Self-shrinkers and translating solitons of mean curvature flow
… formula, we compute the entropy of the grim reaper and the bowl solitons. Third, we estimate the spectrum of the stability operator L for translators and give a rigidity result of L-stable translators. Finally, we provide curvature estimates for L-stable translators, graphical translators and …

In Vivo Genome-Wide Analyses of the Drosophila p53 Transcriptional Network
… embryo model and the well characterized p53 reaper enhancer. At the single cell resolution, I demonstrated that the p53 enhancer can contact multiple targets simultaneously; however these multigenic complexes appear in low frequency. I also have preliminary genome-wide data suggesting in …

The Defense Department and innovation : an assessment of the technical and policy challenges of airborne boost-phase intercept
… Next, it shows that a system based on the MQ-9 Reaper could provide the capability to intercept notional intercontinental- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles from representative geographies in the near-term. Finally, it suggests a political coalition incorporating the combatant commands …
