Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have discovered a fundamental mechanism that effectively silences or dials down certain active genes as a basic regulatory or ...

Soft–hard composite materials can overcome the inherent trade-off between strength and toughness, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, researchers from Japan and China developed a ...

This paper reports a novel method of generating fundamental structure-performance knowledge with real-world meaning. Traditional antiwear molecule performance mechanisms are explored and compared with ...

To that end, we are actively defining those mechanisms that drive the formation of a muscle cell of a particular size. Recent work has focused on the contribution of nuclear number, size, position, ...

First, they provide an exposition of the constituent claims implied by an assertion of fundamental causality. Second, they show how ethnographic data can be used to explicate such claims by showing ...
