Severing the Spirit from the Son: Theological revisionism in contemporary theologies of salvation
This dissertation evaluates the historiography, methodology, exegesis, and theological conclusions of pneumatological inclusivists and their doctrine of salvation, and then offers a biblical and theological defense of soteriological exclusivism based on the relationship between the Son and the …

Stress detection in loblolly pine using relative apparent temperatures
… week of stress induced by drought, flooding, or severing. Increased temperatures of stressed seedlings were associated with reduced needle moisture content prior to visual symptoms of stress. Foliage temperatures of loblolly pine trees stressed by severing the bole were warmer relative to …

Partitioning soil respiration in response to drought and fertilization in loblolly pine: laboratory and field approaches
… two respiration components through in-situ root severing. In order to use root-severing treatments to separate RS into RH and RA components, confirmation of carbohydrate depletion coupled to RA decline is crucial. This study evaluated the changes in CO2 flux rates and carbohydrate supply upon …

A biochemical investigation of actin disassembly mechanisms
… stable filaments and potentiate cofilin’s severing and depolymerization activity. During the course of our work we also uncovered some insights on the biophysics of filament severing in the presence of cofilin.

A Kleinian analysis of Lamentations
… others. I read Lamentations as a lament over the severing of an individual’s bond with his God, which reprises the severing of the bond with his mother and loss of his idealised good object. Of Lamentations’ various tensions, I highlight the tension between form and content – a highly controlling …

The dynamics and regulation of actin filaments in vascular endothelial cells and in a reconstituted purified protein system
… and PF. Consistent with increased actin filament severing, fast-moving endothelial cells have an increased number of short actin filaments and more uncapped barbed ends, but paradoxically bind less cofilin. A mechanism of increasing endothelial cell motility is proposed that relies on actin …

Co-orthologs of KATANIN1 Impact Plant Morphology and Show Differential Evolution in Maize
… with improved plant architecture. A microtubule-severing enzyme called katanin p60 is encoded by KATANIN1 (KTN1) in Arabidopsis or by an ortholog, dwarf and gladius leaf1 (dgl1), in rice. Katanin p60 has been implicated in the control of anisotropic cell growth, which is cell growth directed in a …

Mechanisms of Actomyosin Contractility in Cells
… fibers to describe their rapid shortening after severing and to describe how the kinetics of sarcomere contraction and expansion depend on actin turnover. To test these models, we performed quantitative image analysis of stress fibers that spontaneously severed and recoiled. We observed that …

The Role of Actin Depolymerizing Factor in Regulating Actin Dynamics in Toxoplasma gondii
… to promote actin filament disassembly via a severing mechanism. Using a conditional knockout system we examined the function of TgADF in the parasite. TgADF was found to be essential for controlling productive gliding motility, and its absence lead to defects in host cell invasion, parasite …

Fursonas : furries, community, and identity online
… fandom through several interrelated processes: severing fandom from textual objects; developing queer sex publics; paving new pathways to queer becoming; and displacing online identity through stylized, affective modes of embodiment. These fan practices, as articulated through the fursona, …

A biaxial nematic phase in a thermotropic liquid crystalline side-chain polymer : a deuterium NMR study
The goal of this thesis was the investigation of the phase symmetry of liquid crystalline side-chain polymers by means of deuterium NMR spectrodcopy. The lateral attachment of a book-shaped mesogen should - in the case of the system investigated in the beginning - prevent the rotation about the …

The Southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimm., and associated Coleoptera attracted to dead loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L.
… trees, <u>Pinus taeda</u> L., were stressed by severing and girdling. The bark beetle population trapped at stressed trees was then compared to the bark beetles trapped at unstressed control trees. The experiments were conducted in an apparently normal, old-field mixed pine-hardwood forest …

Divided Bodies: Nation Formation and the Literary Marketplace in Salman Rushdie's Shame and Bapsi Sidhwa's Cracking India
… disability as a method to demonstrate the severing of a nation and Indian and Pakistani identities. Additionally, Rushdie and Sidhwa reveal the interconnected nature of gender, honor, shame, and violence. Writing within political and economic complexities that extend far beyond 1947, …

Revving up for the future: an inductive power transfer system geared for vehicular applications
… of decluttering the charging infrastructure by severing the bulky power cords used to charge an Electric Vehicle (EV), an innovative technique to wirelessly charge an EV battery known as Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) has garnered widespread acceptance. This thesis introduces the design of an …

True and ancient properties: naming and spirits in the novels of Toni Morrison
… desire for a sense of self is heightened by the severing of ties to their ancestry by the institution of slavery. Toni Morrison, then, shares excellent company as her work can be counted among the best of the genre. Her five novels, The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, Tar Baby, and Beloved …

Bacterial Manipulation of Actin Dynamics via p21 Activated Kinases and Cofilin
… careful control of actin stabilisation and severing. Cofilin is an important promoter of actin turnover, promoting the severing and disassembly of actin filaments, resulting in increased availability of actin and driving assembly of new actin structures . A major reported negative regulator …

Spindle organization in three dimensions
… Specifically, the role of the microtubule severing complex katanin in spindle organization was analyzed. Electron tomography reveals fragmentation of spindle microtubules and suggests a novel katanin-dependent mechanism of meiotic spindle assembly. In this model, relatively long …

Role of Cofilin, an Actin Cytoskeletal Protein, in Ischemic Conditions: Potential Therapeutic Target for Ischemic Stroke
… these responses. Cofilin, an actin cytoskeletal severing protein is known to be involved in early stages of apoptotic cell death. Evidence supports its intervention in progression of disease states like Alzheimer’s and ischemic kidney disease. We have hypothesized possible involvement of cofilin …

Experimental investigation of a prestressed concrete girder bridge model
… consisted of both removal of concrete and the severing of the prestressing strands. Concrete and steel were removed in small increments so that critical levels of damage could be determined. A total of thirteen levels of damage were inflicted on the exterior girder, each subjected to various …
