P-Generating Polynomials and the P-Fractal of a Graph
(2014-08-19)We define the P -generating polynomial for a graph G and property P as the generating polynomial for the number of P-subgraphs of G of each size. This polynomial is a generalization of the independence polynomial and so ... -
p26 Knockdown Modifies the Diapause Proteome of Artemia franciscana
The brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, produces diapausing embryos (cysts), in which biological processes are arrested. Cysts are an excellent model for studying the regulation of diapause because they remain in this state ... -
THE P53-NMNAT2 FEEDBACK REGULATORY LOOP: MECHANISMS UNDERLYING P53 ACTIVATION
(2012-11-20)The tumor suppressor p53 acts as a master transcription factor that controls hundreds of effecter genes in response to various cellular stresses. The flexibility of p53 to regulate its target genes with distinct functions ... -
Pacifism and The Great War in Dame Rose Macaulay's Three Days
The First World War is often remembered today for muddy trenches, large-scale slaughter and bitter, shell-shocked veterans. This incomplete, but popular picture is largely inspired by the poetry and prose written during ... -

Pain Variability in Preterm Infants
Background: Infants born preterm are exposed to repeated medically necessary painful procedures during their neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Particularly in preterm infants, trajectories of pain reactivity ... -
The Pains of Labour: How the Commodification of Nursing is Costing the Lives of Mothers in the Philippines
The Philippines, as the largest exporter of nurses, faces challenges in its own maternal health needs. The Philippines has enormous capacity to train nurses, yet few ever care for maternal health needs in domestic communities ... -
Paleogeography, Sea-level Change and the Peopling of the Maritimes: an Archaeological Perspective
This thesis examines specific areas of the landscape of the Maritimes as they changed over the past 13 thousand years, focussing specifically on how sea level has affected shorelines and how these changes have shaped the ... -
PALLADIUM-CATALYZED AMINE SYNTHESIS: CHEMOSELECTIVITY AND REACTIVITY UNDER AQUEOUS CONDITIONS
(2012-04-26)The palladium-mediated cross-coupling of aryl electrophiles and amines (Buchwald-Hartwig amination) has become a widely used method of constructing arylamine frameworks. A crucial aspect of the advancement of this chemistry ... -
