Studying the Salt Dependence of the Binding of Sigma 70 and Sigma 32 to Core RNA Polymerase Using Luminescence Resonance Energy Transfer
Here we describe an LRET binding assay used to monitor the interaction of E. coli σ70 and σ32 with core RNA polymerase along with the controls to verify the system.

Testing Aerosol Properties in MODIS Collection 4 and 5 Using Airborne Sunphotometer Observations in INTEX-B/MILAGRO
We compare AATS retrievals of spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) and related aerosol properties with corresponding spatially coincident and temporally near-coincident measurements acquired by the MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra satellite sensors.
