Prospects for beyond the Standard Model physics searches at the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment: DUNE Collaboration
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a ... -
Scintillation light detection in the 6-m drift-length ProtoDUNE Dual Phase liquid argon TPC
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 × 6 × 6 m 3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber ... -
Perturbation detection through modeling of gene expression on a latent biological pathway network: a Bayesian hierarchical approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Cellular response to a perturbation is the result of a dynamic system of biological variables linked in a complex network. A major challenge in drug and disease studies is identifying the key factors of a biological network ... -
Search for the Majorana nature of neutrinos in the inverted mass ordering region with KamLAND-Zen
(American Physical Society (APS), 2023-02-03)The KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided stringent constraints on the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay half-life in ^136Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. We report an improved search using an upgraded detector ... -
Targeting the oncogene LSF with either the small molecule inhibitor FQI1 or siRNA causes mitotic delays with unaligned chromosomes, resulting in cell death or senescence
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-15)BACKGROUND: The oncogene LSF (encoded by TFCP2) has been proposed as a novel therapeutic target for multiple cancers. LSF overexpression in patient tumors correlates with poor prognosis in particular for both hepatocellular ... -
The microtubule-associated histone methyltransferase SET8, facilitated by transcription factor LSF, methylates α-tubulin
(Elsevier BV, 2020-04-03)Microtubules are cytoskeletal structures critical for mitosis, cell motility, and protein and organelle transport and are a validated target for anticancer drugs. However, how tubulins are regulated and recruited to support ... -
Factor quinolinone inhibitors alter cell morphology and motility by destabilizing interphase microtubules
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-12-07)Factor quinolinone inhibitors are promising anti-cancer compounds, initially characterized as specific inhibitors of the oncogenic transcription factor LSF (TFCP2). These compounds exert anti-proliferative activity at least ... -
Factor quinolinone inhibitors disrupt spindles and multiple LSF (TFCP2)-protein interactions in mitosis, including with microtubule-associated proteins
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022)Factor quinolinone inhibitors (FQIs), a first-in-class set of small molecule inhibitors targeted to the transcription factor LSF (TFCP2), exhibit promising cancer chemotherapeutic properties. FQI1, the initial lead compound ... -
Energy price volatility affects decisions to purchase energy using capital: motor vehicles
(Energy Economics, 2023-07-31)I investigate how energy price volatility affects consumer decisions to purchase durable, energy using capital, motor vehicles. A cointegrating vector autoregression (CVAR) model indicates that; (1) high price volatility ... -
Social and Environmental Events Disrupt the Relation Between Motor Gasoline Prices and Market Fundamentals
(2023-07-31)After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, higher prices for motor gasoline re-ignited debate about price discovery; do market fundamentals largely determine motor gasoline prices. We evaluate the degree to which market ...
