Genes influenced by MEF2C contribute to neurodevelopmental disease via gene expression changes that affect multiple types of cortical excitatory neurons
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-09-25)Myocyte enhancer factor 2 C (MEF2C) is an important transcription factor during neurodevelopment. Mutation or deletion of MEF2C causes intellectual disability (ID) and common variants within MEF2C are associated with ... -
Genes regulated by BCL11B during T‐cell development are enriched for de novo mutations found in schizophrenia patients
(Wiley, 2020-07-29)While abnormal neurodevelopment contributes to schizophrenia (SCZ) risk, there is also evidence to support a role for immune dysfunction in SCZ.BCL11B, associated with SCZ in genome-wide association study (GWAS), is a ... -
Gent models for the inflation of spherical balloons
(Elsevier, 2015)We revisit an iconic deformation of non-linear elasticity: the inflation of a rubber spherical thin shell. We use the 3-parameter Mooney and Gent-Gent (GG) phenomenological models to explain the stretch-strain curve of a ... -
Genus Two Meromorphic Conformal Field Theory
(1999)We construct the genus two (or two loop) partition function for meromorphic bosonic conformal field theories. We use a sewing procedure involving two genus one tori by exploiting an explicit relationship between the genus ... -
Genus Two Partition and Correlation Functions for Fermionic Vertex Operator Superalgebras I
(2010)We define the partition and $n$-point correlation functions for a vertex operator superalgebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. For the free fermion vertex operator superalgebra we obtain ... -
Genus two partition and correlation functions for fermionic vertex operator superalgebras II
(2018-10-18)We define and compute the continuous orbifold partition function and a generating function for all n-point correlation functions for the rank two free fermion vertex operator superalgebra on a genus two Riemann surface ... -
The Genus Two Partition Function for Free Bosonic and Lattice Vertex Operator Algebras
(2007)We define the $n$-point function for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface in two separate sewing schemes where either two tori are sewn together or a handle is sewn to one torus. We explicitly obtain ... -
Genus two virasoro correlation functions for vertex operator algebras
(2016-12-06)We consider all genus two correlation functions for the Virasoro vacuum descendants of a vertex operator algebra. These are described in terms of explicit generating functions that can be combinatorially expressed in terms ... -
Genus two zhu theory for vertex operator algebras
(2016-10-27)We consider correlation functions for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. We describe a generalisation of genus one Zhu recursion where we express an arbitrary genus ... -
Geographical location influences the composition of the gut microbiota in wild house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) at a fine spatial scale
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-26)The composition of the mammalian gut microbiota can be influenced by a multitude of environmental variables such as diet and infections. Studies investigating the effect of these variables on gut microbiota composition ... -
Geothermal structural geology in New Zealand: Innovative characterisation and micro-analytical techniques
(International Geothermal Association, 2016-11-23)Many of New Zealand's geothermal reservoirs are hosted in rocks with low intrinsic permeability. As such, successful development of these resources relies on understanding the role subsurface structures, such as fractures ... -
Glauberman's and Thompson's theorems for fusion systems
(American Mathematical Society, 2009-02)We prove analogues of results of Glauberman and Thompson for fusion systems. As a corollary, we obtain a stronger form of Frobenius' theorem for fusion systems, applicable under the above assumptions and generalizing another ... -
Global and local tests to assess stationarity of Markov transition models
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-02-09)We present global and local likelihood-based tests to evaluate stationarity in transition models. Three motivational studies are considered. A simulation study was carried out to assess the performance of the proposed ... -
Glucose biosensor based on open-source wireless microfluidic potentiostat
(Elsevier, 2019-02-17)Wireless potentiostats capable of cyclic voltammetry and amperometry that connect to the Internet are emerging as key attributes of future point-of-care devices. This work presents an "integrated microfluidic electrochemical ... -
The gluing problem for some block fusion systems
(2010)We answer the gluing problem of blocks of finite groups (Linckelmann (2004) [7, 4.2]) for tame blocks and the principal p-block of PSL 3 ( p ) for p odd. In particular, we show that the gluing problem for the principal ... -
Glycoclusters as lectin inhibitors: comparative analysis on two plant agglutinins with different folding as a step towards rules for selectivity
(Elsevier, 2015-09-23)The emerging physiological significance of carbohydrate (glycan) protein (lectin) recognition engenders the interest to design synthetic inhibitors with a high level of selectivity among natural sugar receptors. Plant ... -
Glycomics microarrays reveal differential in situ presentation of the biofilm polysaccharide Poly-N-acetylglucosamine on Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus cell surfaces
(MDPI, 2020-04-02)The biofilm component poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) is an important virulence determinant in medical-device-related infections caused by ESKAPE group pathogens including Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative ... -
Guided waves in pre-stressed hyperelastic plates and tubes: Application to the ultrasound elastography of thin-walled soft materials
(Elsevier, 2017-02-17)In vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of thin-walled soft tissues (e.g., mitral valve, artery and bladder) and in situ mechanical characterization of thin-walled artificial soft biomaterials in service are of ... -
H2 generation and sulfide to sulfoxide oxidation in H2O using sunlight with a model photoelectrosynthesis cell
(Elsevier, 2014-10-28)A summary of the recent advances in homogeneous light-driven catalytic oxidation reactions is provided either using sacrificial agents or with complete functional cells. In this work, a photoelectrosynthesis model cell ... -
Halogenated flame retardants in Irish waste polymers: Concentrations, Legislative compliance, and preliminary assessment of temporal trends
(Elsevier, 2022-07-20)Halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) were measured in 470 waste plastic articles from Ireland between 2019 and 2020. We identified articles containing concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane ...
