THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR P53 AND ITS NEGATIVE REGULATORS MDM2 AND MDMX
(2020-08-25)p53 is a crucial tumour suppressor that is dysfunctional in most types of cancer. The TP53 gene is frequently mutated in many cancers, resulting in loss of p53 expression or production of mutant p53 proteins that are unable ... -
Interpretation and Conservation of Sacred Space: A Ritual-based Approach
(2012-08-07)Traditional church buildings negotiate thresholds in a way that supports a program of cyclical and elevating rituals. Each threshold is marked by an architectural image, one that comes to be associated with a particular ... -
Interpretation of Aerosol Mass Scattering Efficiency over North America Using Ground Based Measurements from the IMPROVE Network
(2019-04-12)Aerosol mass scattering efficiency affects climate forcing calculations, atmospheric visibility, and the interpretation of satellite observations of aerosol optical depth. We evaluated the representation of aerosol mass ... -
Interpretation of Arctic Black Carbon Measurements with a Chemical Transport Model
(2015-01-15)Black carbon is a pollutant of concern in the Arctic; however models struggle to accurately simulate its seasonal cycle observed from in-situ measurements. This work aims to examine the contribution of different types of ... -
