The Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma (GSP) is an extreme region, a hypersaline environment from marine origin and a unique area of the Salt National Wild Refuge in the north-central region of Oklahoma. In this study we analyzed the diversity and distribution of bacteria in two habitats; vegetated areas (GAB) and salt flat areas (GAS) in the sediments of GSP using the high-throughput techniques of ...

Gabapentin (GAB) is a newer second-line antiepileptic drug (AED) used in children. This is a multi-centre retrospective observational study of the efficacy, tolerability and retention rate in 105 children, aged 0-17.5 years (mean 10.1) over a 14 year period. The median age of epilepsy onset was 2.5 years (range 0-14.6). 72% started GAB as at least the 3rd AED, with 43% having been withdrawn fro...

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) of Australia underlies some of the driest parts of South Australia and Queensland and feeds numerous freshwater springs. Prominent and endangered components of the GAB spring community are snails of the family Hydrobiidae. This paper examines the evolutionary relationships of the entire hydrobiid fauna associated with the GAB, and includes appropriate non-GAB spec...

We present GAB, a search algorithm for hybrid P2P networks, that is, networks that search using both flooding and a DHT. GAB uses a gossip-style algorithm to collect global statistics about document popularity to allow each peer to make intelligent decisions about which search style to use for a given query. Moreover, GAB automatically adapts to changes in the operating environment. Synthetic a...

The Grb-2 associated binder (Gab) family of scaffolding/adaptor/docking proteins is a group of three molecules with significant roles in cytokine receptor signaling. Gabs possess structural motifs for phosphorylation-dependent receptor recruitment, Grb2 binding, and activation of downstream signaling pathways through p85 and SHP-2. In addition, Gabs participate in hematopoiesis and regulation o...

(a) Prove that [G,G]CG. (b) Prove that the quotient Gab := G/[G,G] (called the abelianization of G) is abelian. (c) If N CG is any normal subgroup such that G/N is abelian, prove that [G,G] ≤ N . (d) Put everything together to prove the universal property of abelianization: Given a homomorphism φ : G→ A to an abelian group A, there exists a unique homomorphism φ̄ := Gab → A such that φ = φ̄ ◦ π, ...

The docking proteins of the Grb2-associated binder (Gab) family have emerged as crucial signaling compartments in metazoans. In mammals, the Gab proteins, consisting of Gab1, Gab2, and Gab3, are involved in the amplification and integration of signal transduction evoked by a variety of extracellular stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, antigens, and other molecules. Gab proteins lack t...
