The Role of Initiation Factor Dynamics in Translation Initiation
… synthesis, or translation, can be divided into initiation, elongation, and termination stages. Initiation is the rate-limiting stage of translation and a critical site for translational control of gene expression. Throughout all stages of protein synthesis, the ribosome is aided by essential …

Colon Cancer Initiation and Progression
… that a common early perturbation in solid tumor initiation is bypass of matrix-dependent proliferation restraints we sought to functionally interrogate candidate colorectal cancer genes (CAN-genes) to identify driver tumor-suppressors. We have developed an isogenic human colonic epithelial cell …

The Initiation of the Beautiful Uncanny
In recent years, there has been a movement in arts and one of the interests was in the uncanny where it was relating to surrealism. Previous artwork has addressed the Freudian uncanny concept as an unfamiliar, frightened emotion that is negatively disturbing. However, the concept of Nicholas Royal …

WNT SIGNALING AND HAIR FOLLICLE INITIATION
… and provides inductive cues for hair follicle initiation. Uniform Wnt signaling activity is present in dermal fibroblast precursors preceding hair follicle initiation, but the functional requirement of dermal Wnt signaling at early stages of skin differentiation and patterning remains largely …

Initiation in the Puerto Rican Novel
Initiation, or the rites and ordeals that mark the passage from adolescence into adulthood, has appeared in most genres of literature through the ages. In this study I examine the presence of the elements of initiation in the Puerto Rican novel. It is my intent to prove that a relationship can be …

Female suicidal behaviour: Initiation, cessation and prevention
This thesis explores non-fatal suicidal behaviour in young women. The approach taken is qualitative in orientation. The central form of data collection was the semi-structured interview. Interviews were conducted with key informants, including counsellors, clinicians and social workers and with …

Shock initiation of explosives under the microscope
This dissertation explores the shock compression of solid state explosives by thin, laser-driven flyer plates. These flyer plates consist of aluminum foils, typically 25 – 75 μm thick, which are launched using a Nd:YAG laser with a 20 ns pulse width in a technique developed within the Dlott group. …

The dividend initiation decision : theory and evidence
… payout policy that endogenizes a firm's dividend initiation decision, and its extreme reluctance to subsequently cut dividends in a sequential equilibrium. After payment of dividends, all excess cash is disgorged via stock repurchases that elicit no price reactions. The theoretical model generates …

Delamination initiation in postbuckled dropped-ply laminates
… the dropped plies is a common mode of failure initiation. The compression strength of specimens exhibiting a linear response is greater than the compression strength of specimens with the same layup exhibiting geometrically nonlinear response. Experimental and analytical results also show a …

Maternal Fat Intake during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Initiation
… pregnancy is associated with breastfeeding non-initiation. 2. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acid intake (EPA+DHA) is associated with breastfeeding initiation. 3. Maternal EPA+DHA intake modifies the relationship between total fat intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding initiation. Materials and …

NEW STRUCTURAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE BACTERIAL INITIATION COMPLEX
… the first of which, denominated translation initiation, is the most delicate step, as it entails the determining the correct start site of the produced protein. Previous structural studies allowed us to gain important insights into the position of translation Initiation Factors, and their …

Conservation of Translation Initiation Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
While the fundamental goals of translation initiation are the same for all cells, it is the most phylogenetically diverse step within translation. Until recently, there has been no evidence of a molecular mechanism that can initiate translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Colussi et al. …

Initiation and ignition of nano-aluminum in Teflon
… the fundamental combustion processes of initiation and ignition. Initiation occurs when the first bonds break in the material. This step usually requires energy, but allows the material to undergo the widespread release of energy, known as ignition. These experiments used pulsed laser …

Initiation and Growth of Reaction in LLM-105
… presence of defects had a greater effect on initiation sensitiveness. Also, reaction growth was more strongly related to the particle shape and overall bulk density of the material, likely to be linked to packing efficiency of the particles. It was also found that LLM-105 was more sensitive …
