Brewing Behind Barbed Wire: An Archaeology of Saké at Amache
<p>After the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, approximately 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the west coast of the United States were forcibly removed from their home communities. These people were designated as "evacuees" by the U.S. Government and were …

Processive Acceleration of Actin Barbed End Assembly by N-WASP
… Arp2/3 complex, N-WASP binds actin filament barbed ends, and both N-WASP and barbed ends are tightly clustered in these invasive structures. We used nanofibers coated with N-WASP WWCA domains as model cell surfaces and single actin filament imaging to determine how clustered N-WASP affects …

Barbed Wire Fever: On Seeking and Providing Refuge (Creative Non-Fiction)
Barbed Wire Fever: On Seeking and Providing Refuge is a work of creative nonfiction that explores my father’s memories of his years as a Holocaust survivor and refugee during the Second World War, my memory of how my father tried to articulate those memories, and how non-refugees responded to and …

Current distribution and particle motion in a barbed plate electrostatic precipitator
… in electrostatic precipitators. A novel barbed plate precipitator is designed to provide a more uniform current density distribution and electric field in the inter-electrode gap. Ground plate current densities of both a conventional wire-plate precipitator and the optimized barbed plate …

"Our Barbed Wire Ivory Tower": Republican and Irish Republican Army Prison Writing, 1973-1999
<p>A critique of the notion that both prisons and prison literature are monolithic entities, this dissertation demonstrates the shaping power of individual historical moment and physical conditions of confinement upon the literary production of political incarceration in the North of Ireland. …

Knotless bidirectional barbed versus smooth polypropylene three-loop pulley sutures for repair of canine gastrocnemius tendon
… 6 weeks, compared to those with a smaller gap. Barbed sutures are a relatively recent entry into the veterinary field. These sutures have found multiple applications in human medicine, including digital flexor tendon repair, as well as gastrointestinal, gynecologic, urologic and cosmetic …

Vanishing Voices: The Impact of Life Behind the Barbed Wire on World War II Prisoners of War
… who experienced life on the wrong side of the barbed wire: my father, the late William Austin Burgess, formerly of Hinesville, Georgia; C. Neill Baylor, of Vidalia, Georgia; Herman Cranman, of Savannah, Georgia; and Robert Waldrop, of Beaufort, South Carolina. The impetus for this exploration …

Actin polymerization dynamics at the leading edge
… filament bundling sustains processive barbed end attachment to the leading edge. I lowered actin, profilin, Arp2/3, and CP concentrations to address the generation of actin filament orientation during the initiation of motility. In the absence of CP, Arp2/3 nucleates barbed ends that …

MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF ACTIN FILAMENT ASSEMBLY AND TURNOVER
… Structures of formin at the fast-growing barbed end, as well as formin with incoming profilin actin reveal a step-by-step mechanism of actin polymerization. In addition, we show how inverted formin-2 (INF2) is uniquely adapted for filament severing and why other formins are not. At the …

Novel molecular architectures from iptycene polymers
… a novel chain architecture called molecular barbed wire. This molecular barbed wire architecture not only influences individual polymer chain dynamics but also induces lateral interactions between polymer chains through the minimization of internal molecular free volume. Work began by …

Mena 11a-isoform specific regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization and cell behavior
… and attenuates G-actin incorporation to barbed ends of actin filaments. In addition, Menal Ia alters the actin cytoskeleton and decreases Arp2/3 recruitment to the leading edge of lamellipodia. Mass spectrometry analysis demonstrates that Mena11a is phosphorylated. The expression of a …

Biochemical and Microscopic Characterization of INFT-1: an Inverted Formin in C. elegans
… moving along the polymerizing filament barbed end. INFT-1 is one of six formin family members present in Caenorhabditis elegans (Hunt-Newbury et al., 2007) and is most closely related to vertebrate INF2, an inverted formin with regulatory domains in the C- rather than N-terminus. …
