Densely functionalized 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(3-hydroxy-4-etoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide was  synthesized in an expedient manner through specification and transamidation  respectively, of ester-functionalized pyrazoles. This synthetic protocol allowed for three diversifying steps in which appendages on the pyrazole scaffold were adjusted to optimize inhibition of protein kina...

The work presented here addresses the problem of providing robotic manipulators with improved force control and force sensing capabilities. A nonlinear compliant element for use in cable driven robotic manipulators was designed and built. The compliant element provides a nonlinear (exponential) force displacement behavior. This device is similar to the human hand in that it provides a large dyn...

The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamics of nasal carriage by Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) among healthy dog-owning household members involved in 7 previous index cases of suspected anthropozoonotic (n = 4) and zoonotic (n = 3) interspecies transmission [4 direct cases, identical SA (n = 3) or SP (n = 1) in owner and dog; three indirect,...

BACKGROUND Moderate-risk genes have not been extensively studied, and missense substitutions in them are generally returned to patients as variants of uncertain significance lacking clearly defined risk estimates. The fraction of early-onset breast cancer cases carrying moderate-risk genotypes and quantitative methods for flagging variants for further analysis have not been established. METHO...

Since 1965, the Naval Ship Engineering Center (NA VSEC) and the Naval Ship Research and Development Center (NSRDC), sponsored by the Naval Ship Systems Command, have been actively involved in developing and using computer facilities for the design and construction of naval ships. The overall goals of this effort, known as the Computer-Aided Ship Design and Construction (CASDAC) project, have be...

Nonsyndromic cleft lip with/without cleft palate (nsCL/P) and nonsyndromic cleft palate only (nsCPO) are the most frequent subphenotypes of orofacial clefts. A common syndromic form of orofacial clefting is Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) where individuals have CL/P or CPO, often but not always associated with lower lip pits. Recently, ∼5% of VWS-affected individuals were identified with mutations...

Specific isoforms of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase are preferentially expressed within discrete neuronal regions in mouse brain (Cadd and McKnight (1989) Neuron 3, 71-79) suggesting that these subunits might have different functional properties. We have used recombinant techniques to express and purify the type I regulatory subunits, RI alpha and RI beta, the catalytic subunits C alpha and ...
