Abstract:

<p> <b>Background:</b> Despite efforts by academic medical centers to adopt institutional policies and practices to create an inclusive environment for LGBT patients, students, staff, and faculty, the literature on the experiences of LGBT faculty with academic medicine is limited. Thus, this study examined the career experiences of gay physicians in academic medicine to further develop a narrative of the queer faculty experience. </p><p> <b>Methods:</b> A qualitative study was conducted with eleven full-time academic physicians from various AAMC accredited medical schools who openly identify

Abstract:

G-proteins are heterotrimeric complexes composed of α, β, and τ subunits and are involved in coupling receptor and effector functions during signal transduction across plasma membranes. G-proteins Gs and Gi are stimulatory and inhibitory to the catalytic subunit of adenylyl cyclase, respectively. A chimeric G-protein α subunit cDNA was constructed from the complete 5' untranslated region of Gαs52 (the 52 kD α subunit of Gs), the first 356 codons of the rat Gαs52, and the last 36 codons and 428 bp of the 3' untranslated region of the rat Gai2 (the α subunit of Gi2) cDNA.

Abstract:

This study explores the private and public experiences of Black/White interracial lesbian and gay couples. Drawing from the theoretical frameworks of critical race theory and intersectional feminism, this research focuses on how the intersections of gender, race, and sexuality influence relationship experiences and family processes in both private and public spaces for interracial same-sex couples. This study is based on 19 in-depth interviews with individuals in Black/White lesbian and gay relationships. Participants' stories highlight intersectionality in terms of the ways interracial lesbia

Abstract:

Gay/Straight Alliances aimed at providing sexual minority youth and their allies with support, social events, and activism and education opportunities have proliferated in high schools in the United States over the past two decades.

A year and a half of observation and 16 semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with Gay/Straight Alliance members in a high school setting in the southeastern United States. The

Abstract:

Androphilia refers to sexual attraction and arousal to adult males, whereas gynephilia refers to sexual attraction and arousal to adult females. Prehistoric artifacts such as art and pottery indicate that male-male same sex behaviour has existed for millennia. Bearing this in mind, and considering that male androphilia has a genetic component yet androphilic males reproduce at a fraction of the rate than do gynephilic males, how the genes for male androphilia have been maintained in the population presents an evolutionary puzzle.

Queer culture is finding an ever-increasing voice in the arts.

Using my interpretation of "Jack" in Debbie Lamedman's new play, Triangle Logic, as a case study, I catalogue a three-month journey towards the effective embrace of truthfulness on stage.

In vascular smooth muscle these channels are believed to be important in maintenance of and coordination of changes in vessel tone. In this study we demonstrate that vascular smooth muscle cells from vessels of different origin and species differ in the connexin protein expressed as well as in the size of the channel formed by these proteins.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I will explore the different notions of performance as a political tool and gender/sexuality as a performative act that forms identity, within lesbian and gay academic and activist rhetoric. I posit that the extensive, and often contradictory, use of "performance" within lesbian and gay discourse serves as a useful entry point to explore existing theoretical precepts of identity formation, and the processes of representation and signification. Through this exploration, effective theoretical and practical techniques can be developed to subvert the dominant discourses of normativ

Results showed that diverting food waste could significantly reduce fugitive LFG emissions

Cometary nuclei may be our best available probes of the physical and chemical nature of the presolar nebula. However, in situ sampling of cometary nuclei to determine their composition is generally not feasible. Instead, remote spectroscopic observations of cometary comae are used to infer cometary composition. This approach relies on one's ability to model accurately the density distributions of gas and dust in the comae and a complex network of photochemical and molecular processes.

The external surface of the blade is exposed to hot gas temperatures and it is internally cooled with air coming from the compressor.
