West Antarctic ice sheet and CO2 greenhouse effect: a threat of disaster

JH Mercer - Nature, 1978 - nature.com
If the global consumption of fossil fuels continues to grow at its present rate, atmospheric
CO 2 content will double in about 50 years. Climatic models suggest that the resultant …

Glacial history of Southernmost South America1

JH Mercer - Quaternary research, 1976 - cambridge.org
In southernmost South America, an incomplete radiometrically dated glacial chronology has
been obtained by K–Ar dating for the interval 3.5-1 MY ago, and a more detailed chronology …

[HTML][HTML] A chemical-genetic strategy implicates myosin-1c in adaptation by hair cells

…, K Shah, KM Shokat, DP Corey, JA Mercer… - Cell, 2002 - cell.com
Myosin-1c (also known as myosin-Iβ) has been proposed to mediate the slow component of
adaptation by hair cells, the sensory cells of the inner ear. To test this hypothesis, we …

Increased movement accuracy and reduced EMG activity as the result of adopting an external focus of attention

T Zachry, G Wulf, J Mercer, N Bezodis - Brain research bulletin, 2005 - Elsevier
The performance and learning of motor skills has been shown to be enhanced if the performer
adopts an external focus of attention (focus on the movement effect) compared to an …

Novel myosin heavy chain encoded by murine dilute coat colour locus

JA Mercer, PK Seperack, MC Strobel, NG Copeland… - Nature, 1991 - nature.com
HUNDREDS of murine dilute mutations have been identified and analysed, making dilute
one of the best genetically characterized of all mammalian loci. The recessive dilute (d) coat …

[HTML][HTML] Myosin Vb mobilizes recycling endosomes and AMPA receptors for postsynaptic plasticity

…, R Karcher, X Li, IG Davison, M Ikebe, JA Mercer… - Cell, 2008 - cell.com
Learning-related plasticity at excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain requires the
trafficking of AMPA receptors and the growth of dendritic spines. However, the mechanisms that …

Myosin vb is associated with plasma membrane recycling systems

…, JO Burnette, DW Provance Jr, JA Mercer… - Molecular biology of …, 2001 - Am Soc Cell Biol
Myosin Va is associated with discrete vesicle populations in a number of cell types, but little
is known of the function of myosin Vb. Yeast two-hybrid screening of a rabbit parietal cell …

EMG activity as a function of the performer's focus of attention

…, G Wulf, T Töllner, N McNevin, J Mercer - Journal of motor …, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
In previous studies of attentional focus effects, investigators have measured performance
outcome. Here, however, the authors used electromyography (EMG) to determine whether …

A randomized, double-blind comparison of lactated Ringer's solution and 0.9% NaCl during renal transplantation

…, AI Benvenisty, TE Brentjens, JS Mercer… - Anesthesia & …, 2005 - journals.lww.com
IMPLICATIONS: Lactated Ringer’s solution (LR) caused less hyperkalemia and acidemia
than 0.9% NaCl when administered for intraoperative fluid therapy during kidney …

Identification of proteins in the postsynaptic density fraction by mass spectrometry

…, M Mann, DW Provance, JA Mercer… - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
Our understanding of the organization of postsynaptic signaling systems at excitatory synapses
has been aided by the identification of proteins in the postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction, …
