Denudation of volcanic ocean islands creates remarkable landscapes and contributes to Earth's carbon cycle, since the chemical alteration basalts is a CO2 sink. Because many have large climate gradients relatively low variations in lithology tectonic history, they represent excellent natural laboratories for studying climatic effects on landscape evolution. However, little known about control d...

Functional relationships between landscapemorphology and denudation rate allow for the estimation of sediment fluxes using readily available topographic information. Empirical studies of topography-erosion linkages typically employ data with diverse temporal and broad spatial scales, such that heterogeneity in properties and processes may cloud fundamental process-scale feedbacks between tecton...

Thrombosis and restenosis are the most prevalent late complications of coronary artery stenting. Current standards of clinical care focus on prevention of smooth muscle cell proliferation by the use of drug-eluting stents able to release anti-proliferative drugs. Unfortunately, these drugs also block endothelial cell proliferation and, in this manner, prevent recovery of endothelial cell covera...
