In his April 15, 2015 interview with Rebecca Masters, Sam Foster rates the Presidency of Anthony DiGiorgio and recalls the evolution of Winthrop. Included, Foster shares his opinions on Winthrop's strengths and weaknesses and...
In his March 7, 1981 interview with John Cissell, Sam Ervin recounts his work as a U.S. Senator for North Carolina. Ervin explains his defense of Jim Crow Laws and his involvement in an investigative committee that unveiled the...
In her June 1984 interview with Michael Cooke, Dora Jones detailed her work with DHEC's sickle cell program. Jones discussed the misconceptions of sickle cell within South Carolina communities, the role of community groups, and...
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression and have been implicated in development, differentiation and pathogenesis. Hundreds of miRNAs have been discovered in mammalian genomes. Approximately...
miRBase is the central online repository for microRNA (miRNA) nomenclature, sequence data, annotation and target prediction. The current release (10.0) contains 5071 miRNA loci from 58 species, expressing 5922 distinct mature...
Popular science author Sam Kean told Dacus Friends of the Library members at their Oct. 5 annual meeting that he was fascinated by how mercury displayed properties of both a liquid and a metal. He is now author of the popular...
The Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential (LJ) is arguably the most widely used pair potential in molecular simulations. In fact, it is so popular that the question is rarely asked whether it is fit for purpose. In this paper, we argue...
The miRBase database aims to provide integrated interfaces to comprehensive microRNA sequence data, annotation and predicted gene targets. miRBase takes over functionality from the microRNA Registry and fulfils three main roles...
Jones, who has worked at Winthrop for 20 years and also served 11 years at the University of Tulsa, oversees Winthrop's DiGiorgio Student Union (DSU) which provides quality on-campus programming to educate and entertain members...
Jones-DeWeever, who will speak at 7 p.m. in Plowden Auditorium, will discuss "We've Come Too Far to Turn Back Now: Black Women in the Wake of the Great Recession." An accomplished scholar, writer and public speaker...
Education Professor Marshall Jones will travel to the Philippines as part of one of the U.S. Department of State's education outreach initiatives. Jones will be working with educators on the use of technology in teaching and...
An aptasensor with enhanced anti-fouling properties has been developed. As a case study, the aptasensor was designed with specificity for human thrombin. The sensing platform was developed on screen printed electrodes and is...
Kingston Out, Varner in for Bear Bash Ursinus Reacts to Symbol of Hatred Q&A with President Blomberg Ursinus Graduates First Wave of Education Studies Majors Breakaway Student Productions' One Act Festival Premieres Four...
We consider an infinite lattice model, where particles interact with nearest neighbour (NN) and next-to-nearest neighbours (NNN); the NN and NNN springs act against each other to mimic the Lennard-Jones potential. The existence...

BACKGROUND: N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) are biomarkers commonly evaluated in cats with suspected heart disease. Many cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have...

Research on non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is a rapidly expanding field. Providing an official gene symbol and name to ncRNA genes brings order to otherwise potential chaos as it allows unambiguous communication about each gene. The...
