BARKER, KATIE. Interactions between actin and proteins involved in translation. (advisor Kim Kandl). Many studies have implicated a role for actin in translation, and actin and actin binding proteins are known to interact with proteins involved in translation. For example, eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) has been found to bundle actin in vitro (Yang et al., 1990). Furthermore, Sla1p, an...

Distillating knowledge about SCOTCH

Scotch is a software package for sequential and parallel graph partitioning, static mapping and sparse matrix ordering, and for sequential mesh/hypergraph ordering. It has been designed in a highly modular way, so that new methods can be easily added to it, in order for it to be used as a testbed for the design of new partitioning and ordering methods. This paper discusses the internal structur...

Katie Hafner: The Origins of the Internet

T he Arpanet was quietly decommissioned on 28 February 1990. The modern Internet, with its speed, graphics, and video, might make its precursor seem like a dusty antique from a much earlier age, but today’s Internet owes a tremendous amount of its success to research done while building the Arpanet. Back in 1993, Katie Hafner, then a Newsweek reporter and co-author (with John Markoff) of Cyberp...

Making Scotch : Engineering , Chemistry , and Education

During two successive summer hands-on whisky making classes at the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay in Scotland, two types of samples were taken and analyzed using GC/MS. Samples were taken periodically during the two stages of distillation, and of whisky that had matured for different periods of time in different character casks. HYSYS engineering software was adapted to the batch distillatio...
