Abstract As editor of the 2003 New Directions for Student Services monograph that centered experiences Black women in US higher education, my present observation is this: although strides have been made, continue to face stalling, stone walling, and diversion tactics impede our inclusion academy. In this issue, we are “reclaiming time” refocus attention on issues illuminate current positioning ...

Abstract This chapter combines different approaches to capture the discursive, financial(ized), and political-economic aspects of efforts green capital markets. To understand stalling uptake bonds, it introduces Cultural Political Economy (CPE), financialization, Transition Studies as useful foreground discursive elements in nascent market promotion, repositioning financial sector a main driver...

We examine the origin of dynamical friction using a non-perturbative, orbit-based approach. Unlike standard perturbative approach, in which arises from LBK torque due to pure resonances, this alternative, complementary view nicely illustrates how massive perturber significantly changes energies and angular momenta field particles on near-resonant orbits, with arising an imbalance between that g...

Several anticancer agents that form DNA adducts in the minor groove interfere with DNA replication and transcription to induce apoptosis. Therapeutic resistance can occur, however, when cells are proficient in the removal of drug-induced damage. Acylfulvenes are a class of experimental anticancer agents with a unique repair profile suggesting their capacity to stall RNA polymerase (Pol) II and ...

Nascent-peptide modulation of translation is a common regulatory mechanism of gene expression. In this mechanism, while the nascent peptide is still in the exit tunnel of the ribosome, it induces translational pausing, thereby controlling the expression of downstream genes. One example is SecM, which inhibits peptide-bond formation in the ribosome's peptidyl transferase center (PTC) during its ...

Timing of organ development during embryogenesis is coordinated such that at birth, organ and fetal size and maturity are appropriately proportioned. The extent to which local developmental timers are integrated with each other and with the signaling interactions that regulate morphogenesis to achieve this end is not understood. Using the absolute requirement for a signaling pathway activity (b...
