Photographs and plans of Camp Matthews buildings after Camp Matthews closed operations in 1964, plus building modifications through 1967. Camp Matthews was a U.S. Army base; the land for the camp became part of the UC San Diego campus site. Images were digitized from originals held by the UC San Diego Library.

Digital cameras are used to capture images in full stereo surround for use in virtual reality systems. These images can cover any field of view, including 360° by 180° spherical panoramas. Two photographic cylinders are created with identical dimensions, capturing the perspective as seen from each eye position. When these cylinders are mapped to a spherical surface, full stereo in all directions is achieved. This technique allows photographic imaging to create the virtual environment itself. The complete stereo image that is created by this technique can be viewed in any direction that is supported by the virtual reality system design.

A small collection of the family papers of American painter John Gadsby Chapman (1808-1898), consisting mostly of letters to Chapman from colleagues and associates, and correspondence with his son, Conrad Wise Chapman. Of special interest are Conrad Chapman's letters to his family, written while he served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. These letters, dating from the years 1861 to 1865, provide details on Conrad's experiences in the Confederate army, and include a set of undated drafts which form an extended diary in letter form. In his letters, Conrad writes of forced marches, sleeping on wet straw, the ...

Charles Atwood Kofoid (1865-1947) was a noted zoologist at the University of California, Berkeley and early advocate for the development of a marine station in La Jolla that would later become the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Selected materials from his papers have been digitized. Digitized items include photographs of Charles and his wife, Carrie Winter Kofoid; their families, friends and colleagues; travel; the 1904-1905 Albatross Expedition; and many freshwater and marine biological research stations, some of which were included in Kofoid's book, The Biological Stations of Europe.

Film and color slides created for and used in a photographic documentary of early UCSD events from 1963 to 1967. The project documents the construction of Revelle College campus, various campus events, political and social activities of the first undergraduate classes. The original film and color slides are held by the UC San Diego Library.

Abstract: When a cell encounters a new environment, its transcriptional response can be constrained by its history. For example, yeast cells in galactose induce GAL genes with a speed and unanimity that depends on previous nutrient conditions. Cellular memory of long-term glucose exposure delays GAL induction and makes it highly variable with in a cell population, while other nutrient histories lead to rapid, uniform responses. To investigate how cell-level gene expression dynamics produce population-level phenotypes, we collected thousands of microscopy images of fields of cells as they switched to galactose from various nutrient histories, extracted time series of thousands of ...

This collection contains the molecular dynamics trajectories scripts and models used in the paper “Allostery through the computational microscope: cAMP activation of a canonical signalling domain”. The purpose of this collection is to share the simulation data used to build the models and to show how the models presented in the paper were constructed and analyzed.

Data are deposited here from RNA-Seq transcriptomic experiments analyzing the Arabidopsis response to low and elevated carbon dioxide growing conditions. BAM, BAI and TDF files are uploaded from three independent biological replicates that we conducted for wild type and carbonic anhydrase mutant seedlings. Each set of replicates includes >1000 seedlings per sample and both genotypes were grown at low and elevated CO2 (hence 4 samples per set of replicates). Sampling was done at 5 days after germination to capture early signaling events as seedlings were adapting to the CO2 stimulus.
