In this work, we examine the effect of the 2016 Turkish coup on social media censorship, both by the government ordering Twitter to conduct censorship and as well by people removing their own tweets. We compared 5.5M tweets collected from Turkey pre-coup to 8.5M tweets collected post-coup. Although self-censorship of the press is not a novel practice following past military coups in Turkey, in ...

A transcription factor which binds to the chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter (COUP) sequence spanning between -70 and -90 is required for efficient transcription of the ovalbumin gene. This COUP transcription factor has been purified approximately 200,000-fold by a combination of conventional column and sequence-specific DNA affinity column chromatography. A few polypeptides were identified in...

Cone photopigments (opsins) are crucial elements of, and the first detection module in, color vision. Individual opsins have different wavelength sensitivity patterns, and the temporal and spatial expression patterns of opsins are unique and stringently regulated. Long and middle wavelength-sensitive (L/M) opsins are of the same phylogenetic type. Although the roles of thyroid hormone/TRß2 and ...

Angiogenesis is a highly coordinated, extremely complex process orchestrated by multiple signaling molecules and blood flow conditions. While sprouting mode of angiogenesis is very well investigated, the molecular mechanisms underlying intussusception, the second mode of angiogenesis, remain largely unclear. In the current study two molecules involved in vascular growth and differentiation, nam...

In January 2003, the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP) detected about 1400 young stars during a 13.2 day observation of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). This paper is a study of the X-ray properties of a well-defined sample of 28 solar-mass ONC stars based on COUP data. Our goals are to characterize Universe Division, Science Mission Directorate NASA Headquarters

Laminin expression and the subsequent deposition of a basement membrane by primitive endoderm cells is necessary for early mammalian development. We demonstrate that the transcription factors COUP-TF I and II are up-regulated in primitive endoderm cells faster than LAMB1 and LAMC1, and that either COUP-TF is sufficient to induce expression of these laminin genes.

Drawing on newly collected empirical data, this article explores the complex long-term political relationship between state and military in Mali. It argues that post-2013 French intervention has lacked an understanding of place within structures. This led to approach statebuilding premised false idea Mali historically been a weak state, with weakness defined terms. challenges provides counterar...
