Deflecting dams and the formation of oblique shocks in snow avalanches at Flateyri, Iceland. (2007)

Snow avalanches are a threat in many populated mountainous regions, and deflecting dams are often built to divert them away from people, and infrastructure, into less harmful areas. When an avalanche...

Weak, strong and detached oblique shocks in gravity driven granular free-surface flows (2007)

Cui, X.

Hazardous natural flows such as snow-slab avalanches, debris flows, pyroclastic flows and lahars are part of a much wider class of dense gravity-driven granular free-surface flows that frequently...

Granular Vacua (2005)

Hogg, AJ, Gray, JMNT, Cui, X

A continuum model of channelized free-surface granular flow is developed to calculate the rate at which it expands into an initially grain-free region when lateral constraints are removed. The...

Accumulation and toxicity of monophenyl arsenicals in rat endothelial cells (2005)

Hirano, S., Kobayashi, Y., Hayakawa, T., Cui, X., Yamamoto, M., Kanno, S., ...

Clark 1 (diphenylarsine chloride) and Clark 2 ( diphenylarsine cyanide) were used as chemical weapon agents (CWA), and the soil contamination by these CWA and their degraded products, diphenyl and...

Arsenic speciation in the urine and hair of individuals exposed to airborne arsenic through coal-burning in Guizhou, PR China (2003)

Shraim, A, Cui, X, Li, S, Ng, JC, Wang, HP, Jin, YL, ...

The extent of exposure of residents of Changqing (Guizhou, PR China) to arsenic through coal-burning was investigated. Despite the low coal-arsenic content (56.3 +/- 42.5 mg As kg(-1)) when compared...

Arsenic concentrations in the urine of individuals chronically exposed to arsenic-containing coal in Guizhou Province, PR China (2002)

Merlin differs from moesin in binding to F-actin and in its intra- and intermolecular interactions (1998)

Huang, L., Ichimaru, E., Pestonjamasp, Kersi N., Cui, X., Nakamura, H., Lo, G. Y., ...

The neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene encodes merlin, a protein with homology to the cell membrane/F-actin linking proteins, moesin, ezrin and radixin. Unlike these closely related...

Multiplex genotype determination at a large number of gene loci.

Lin, Z, Cui, X, Li, H

To facilitate large-scale genotype analysis, an efficient PCR-based multiplex approach has been developed. For simultaneously amplifying the target sequences at a large number of genetic loci,...

ATP-dependent phosphorylation of serine-46 in the phosphocarrier protein HPr regulates lactose/H+ symport in Lactobacillus brevis.

Ye, J J, Reizer, J, Cui, X, Saier, M H

Lactobacillus brevis takes up lactose and the nonmetabolizable lactose analogue thiomethyl beta-galactoside (TMG) by a permease-catalyzed lactose/H+ symport mechanism. Earlier studies have shown that...

Whole genome amplification from a single cell: implications for genetic analysis.

Zhang, L, Cui, X, Schmitt, K, Hubert, R, Navidi, W, Arnheim, N

We have developed an in vitro method for amplifying a large fraction of the DNA sequences present in a single haploid cell by repeated primer extensions using a mixture of 15-base random...

Direct electrophoretic detection of the allelic state of single DNA molecules in human sperm by using the polymerase chain reaction.

Li, H, Cui, X, Arnheim, N

We have developed a procedure that allows the detection of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products derived from a single target DNA molecule in a human sperm without using radioactive probes. With...

Immunogold labeling of rosette terminal cellulose-synthesizing complexes in the vascular plant vigna angularis

Kimura, S, Laosinchai, W, Itoh, T, Cui, X, Linder, CR, Brown, RM

The catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase is shown to be associated with the putative cellulose-synthesizing complex (rosette terminal complex [TC]) in vascular plants. The catalytic subunit domain...
