A paleozoological perspective on predator extermination and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Boddaert) overabundance in central Texas.
Archaeological and paleontological datasets are used in conservation to add time-depth to ecology. In central Texas several top carnivores including prehistoric Native American hunters have been extirpated or have had their historic ranges restricted, which has resulted in pest-level white-tailed …

Metabolic lipid regulation during developmental stress : fatty acid dynamics in fasting northern elephant seals.
… yet have pathological consequences during LCFA overabundance. The northern elephant seal (NES) (Mirounga angustirostris) is a temporally insulin resistant, deep-diving marine mammal reliant on fatty acid oxidation during seasonal fasting. Over the fast, NES females and weaned pups were found to …

The Impact of Excess Nutrients, Fatty Acids or Glucose, on BeWo Placental Trophoblast Metabolic Function
… cell culture system. The impacts of nutrient overabundance on BeWo trophoblasts (an in vitro model of both progenitor cytotrophoblasts and differentiated syncytiotrophoblasts) were specifically examined using functional readouts of cellular metabolism and mitochondrial respiration, …

A Landfill Reclamation Project: an Observatory that Observes the Self
… grows stronger, as earth will succumb to overabundance of human excessiveness. Can a space be created that not only reclaims land, but also exposes what is hidden- in order to educate the public on the importance of recycling and sustainability? Is it possible to design a space that …

Stress-inducible Mig6 promotes pancreatic beta cell destruction in the pathogenesis of diabetes
… gene 6 (Mig6). We discovered that the overabundance of Mig6 exacerbates stress-induced beta cell apoptosis and inhibits insulin secretion. Conversely, the deficiency of Mig6 partially protected beta cells from DNA damage-induced cell death. Further, we established that Mig6 …

Texting, self, and society
… of ritual belief, and we have all seen an overabundance of communicative systems to manage. In our society, cell phones are becoming the primary form of communication for young people. Building a dialogue surrounding new media systems will enhance our observation as the cell phone changes …

Chemical and kinematic properties of bright metal poor stars
… Ba. Three of these stars are found to possess an overabundance of Carbon relative to Iron. Combining these chemical abundances with those from previously analyzed spectra from the same bright metal-poor star sample, I perform orbit determination and integration on a total of 59 metal-poor stars …

Dimensionality reduction for sparse and structured matrices
… analysis and machine learning applications, an overabundance of data features or examples can make it impossible to apply standard algorithms efficiently. To address this issue, it is often possible to distill data to a much smaller set of informative features or examples, which can be used to …

Keep Austin Queer: Performativity of Queer Space in Austin, Texas
… Texas. That being said, Austin does not have an overabundance of physical queer spaces as other cities do. The existing literature on queer spaces discusses physical spaces such as clubs and bars, public space in the form of Pride or activist events, and cyber spaces such as social media, dating …

Modulation of airway mucin glycosylation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyocyanin
… favorable niche for PA growth is provided by an overabundance of mucus in CF airways. When compared to that of non-CF individuals, mucus of CF airways has been found to be enriched in sialic acid, especially in the form of the tetra carbohydrate moiety sialyl-Lewisx, which is a preferred binding …

The cosmological bootstrap and the analytic wavefunction
In the past few decades there have been an overabundance of models describing inflation, a period where the universe expands exponentially quickly. This led to the rise of the cosmological bootstrap, which aims at constraining cosmological observables in a model independent way. This is achieved by …

Hydrogen-deficient central stars of planetary nebulae
… channels, the VLTP scenario, leads to a Ne and N overabundance of a few percent by mass. A VLTP, a very late thermal pulse, is a rapid increase of the energy production of the helium-burning shell, while hydrogen burning has already ceased. Subsequently, the hydrogen envelope is mixed with deeper …

Drosophila Cyclin J And The Somatic Pirna Pathway Cooperate To Regulate Germline Stem Cells
… produced mispackaged egg chambers containing an overabundance of germline cells, while double mutants of CycJ and piwi or armi had more severe defects. CycJ mutants also genetically interacted with mutants of the germline piRNA pathway member aub, resulting in unique oogenesis defects, though …
