A meta-analysis of butterfly structural colors: their color range, distribution and biological production

RC Thayer, NH Patel - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 - journals.biologists.com
Butterfly scales are among the richest natural sources of optical nanostructures, which
produce structural color and iridescence. Several recurring nanostructure types have been …

Structural color in Junonia butterflies evolves by tuning scale lamina thickness

RC Thayer, FI Allen, NH Patel - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
In diverse organisms, nanostructures that coherently scatter light create structural color, but
how such structures are built remains mysterious. We investigate the evolution and genetic …

Gallium, neon and helium focused ion beam milling of thin films demonstrated for polymeric materials: study of implantation artifacts

FI Allen, NR Velez, RC Thayer, NH Patel, MA Jones… - Nanoscale, 2019 - pubs.rsc.org
Focused ion beam milling of ∼200 nm polymer thin films is investigated using a multibeam
ion microscope equipped with a gallium liquid metal ion source and a helium/neon gas field-…

The effect of the attack transient on aural recognition of instrumental timbres

RC Thayer Jr - Psychology of Music, 1974 - journals.sagepub.com
However, before standards of tone quality can be established, it must be determined what
aspects of a musical tone are important in the aural perception of timbre. A musical tone …

On the importance of inhibition: central and peripheral manifestations of nonlinear inhibitory processes in neural systems

JF Thayer - Dose-Response, 2006 - journals.sagepub.com
Inhibitory processes provide for the sculpting of neural action at all levels of the neuraxis.
Importantly, it appears that this inhibitory function may be decidedly nonlinear in nature such …

Regional specialization, polyploidy, and seminal fluid transcripts in the Drosophila female reproductive tract

RC Thayer, ES Polston, J Xu, DJ Begun - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Internal fertilization requires the choreographed interaction of female cells and molecules with
seminal fluid and sperm. In many animals, including insects, the female reproductive tract …

Pump Operation and Maintenance

RC Thayer - Journal (Water Pollution Control Federation), 1962 - JSTOR
It is to the credit of the team of the designer, operator, and the manufac turer that thousands
of sewage pumps located at automatic installations are operating. The degree of reliability …

A Monte Carlo method of evaluating heterogeneous effects in plate-fueled reactors

RC Thayer, II Redmond, JM Ryskamp - Transactions of the American …, 1991 - osti.gov
Few-group nuclear cross sections for small plate-fueled, light and heavy water test reactors
are frequently generated with unit cell models that contain a homogeneous mixture of fuel, …

Mechanical Maintenance Program

RC Thayer - Sewage and Industrial Wastes, 1958 - JSTOR
Successful mechanical maintenance depends largely on knowledge, per sistent hard work,
and a sincere inter est. Knowledge is gained by experi ence but, as a starter, the prompt se …

[HTML][HTML] Three-dimensional structure of the elastase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 1.5-A resolution.

MM Thayer, KM Flaherty, DB McKay - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1991 - Elsevier
Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase (PAE) is a zinc metalloprotease with 301 amino acids.
We have crystallized and solved the three-dimensional structure of PAE, using data to 1.5-A …
