Researcher in seed physiology. With Gerhard Leubner-Metzger, Finch-Savage analyzed seed dormancy and germination control, connecting environmental sensing with the physiological state that permits or prevents growth.[ref]
Seed dormancy and the control of germination by William E. Finch-Savage and Gerhard Leubner-Metzger. Title, author list and reported study
Researcher in seed physiology. Toole coauthored experiments on reversible light control of germination, making the timing of a developmental transition experimentally responsive to environmental signals.[ref]
A Reversible Photoreaction Controlling Seed Germination by Harry Alfred Borthwick and others. Title, author list and reported study
Researcher in seed physiology. Toole coauthored experiments on reversible photochemical control of germination, helping connect environmental light with the decision to initiate growth.[ref]
A Reversible Photoreaction Controlling Seed Germination by Harry Alfred Borthwick and others. Title, author list and reported study
Plant physiologist and coauthor of research on reversible light control of germination. The study connected light exposure with a physiological response that could be switched by a subsequent treatment.[ref]
A Reversible Photoreaction Controlling Seed Germination by Harry Alfred Borthwick and others. Title, author list and reported study
Plant physiologist who coauthored experiments on reversible light control of germination. Alternating light treatments made the physiological response reversible, connecting a plant developmental decision with a photochemical switch.[ref]

Researcher in cell division. Sluder coauthored experiments showing how unattached kinetochores generate a signal delaying anaphase, connecting individual-chromosome status with cell-wide checkpoint control.[ref]
Researcher in mitosis. Khodjakov coauthored work on the inhibitory signal from unattached kinetochores, using cellular observations to connect chromosome attachment with control of anaphase.[ref]
Researcher in microscopy and mitosis. Cole coauthored experiments on signaling by unattached kinetochores, connecting observations of chromosome behavior with a mechanism that prevents premature anaphase.[ref]

Rieder and collaborators investigated the inhibitory signal produced by unattached kinetochores, connecting chromosome attachment status with the checkpoint that delays anaphase.[ref]
Geneticist and coauthor of the study identifying the mouse Clock gene through mutagenesis and mapping. The work connected an experimentally altered behavioral rhythm with a specific genetic locus.[ref]
Researcher in cell cycle control. Dunphy coauthored work on Myt1 and inhibitory Cdc2 phosphorylation, helping connect mitotic regulation with the activities of distinct inhibitory kinases.[ref]

Coauthor of research on Myt1 and inhibitory Cdc2 phosphorylation. The experiments connected a membrane-associated protein kinase with control of entry into mitosis; initials are retained without an unverified full-name expansion.[ref]
Researcher in cell cycle control. Russell coauthored experiments showing inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdc2 by human Wee1, connecting kinase action with regulation of cell division.[ref]
Researcher in cell cycle control. McGowan and collaborators investigated inhibition of division by Wee1 phosphorylation of Cdc2 at Tyr15, linking a particular chemical modification with suppression of mitotic entry.[ref]
Researcher in cell cycle biochemistry. Deibler and collaborators quantitatively reconstructed activation of mitotic CDK1 in cell extracts, connecting regulatory interactions with the timing of a switch into mitosis.[ref]
Carl Theodor Anger worked in astronomy and mathematics; the Anger function is associated with his name. This special function provides an example of how oscillatory integrals become reusable mathematical objects.
In modern notation it is defined by . Setting gives , with limiting value one at . The example follows directly by integrating a cosine and illustrates how a general special-function representation yields elementary limiting cases.[ref]

A diacylglycerol is a glycerol derivative with two fatty-acid ester groups and one free hydroxyl group. Both chain identity and the positions of the ester groups specify an individual diacylglycerol.
Certain membrane-associated diacylglycerols act as second messengers. Cleavage of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate can produce a diacylglycerol that stays in the cell membrane together with soluble inositol trisphosphate, allowing one chemical event to generate signals in two cellular locations.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
