Shakespeare , Buddha , and King Lear Melvin Sterne

Given Shakespeare's status as "the secular Bible," it is surprising that his work has not been examined more closely to consider its spiritual teachings. As Buddhist studies increase in popularity in the West, more and more Buddhist scholars are being drawn to evaluate Shakespeare's work in light of Buddhist traditions. Of special interest today is the perception of Shakespeare's works as point...

Transcriptional Profiling of Bacillus anthracis Sterne (34F2) during Iron Starvation

Lack of available iron is one of many environmental challenges that a bacterium encounters during infection and adaptation to iron starvation is important for the pathogen to efficiently replicate within the host. Here we define the transcriptional response of B. anthracis Sterne (34F(2)) to iron depleted conditions. Genome-wide transcript analysis showed that B. anthracis undergoes considerabl...

Nightmares and hobbyhorses. Swift, Sterne, and Augustan ideas of madness

Microresonator mass sensors for detection of Bacillus anthracis Sterne spores in air and water.

Towards the goal of developing a real-time monitoring device for microorganisms, we demonstrate the use of microcantilevers as resonant mass sensors for detection of Bacillus anthracis Sterne spores in air and liquid. The detection scheme was based on measuring resonant frequency decrease driven by thermally induced oscillations, as a result of the added mass of the spores with the use of a las...

Whole-Genome Sequences of Variants of Bacillus anthracis Sterne and Their Toxin Gene Deletion Mutants

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three laboratory variants of Bacillus anthracis Sterne and their double (Δlef Δcya) and triple (Δpag Δlef Δcya) toxin gene deletion derivatives.
