Dubois's (1997) coping framework, suggesting that avoidance, denial, negotiation, advocacy seeking, and social coping are universal respons...

The kinetics of the ribonuclease H (RNase H) surface hydrolysis of RNA-DNA heteroduplexes formed on DNA microarrays was studied using a combination of real-time surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) and surface plasmon fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS). Time-dependent SPRI and SPFS data at various enzyme concentrations were quantitatively analyzed using a simple model that couples diffusion, ...
