Testing Linear Diagnostics of Ensemble Performance on a Simplified Global Circulation Model
(2011-04-21)
Ensemble weather forecast systems are used to account for the uncertainty in the initial conditions of the atmosphere and the chaotic dynamics of the models. It has been previously found that forecast performance of an ...
CORRELATION OF DNA METHYLATION WITH MERCURY CONTAMINATION IN MARINE ORGANISMS: A CASE STUDY OF NOAA MUSSEL WATCH TISSUE SAMPLES
(2011-08-04)
American oysters (Crassostrea virginica) obtained from the NOAA Mussel Watch program were screened for DNA methylation, a type of epigenetic response to stressors. Oysters were collected from sites in the Gulf of Mexico ...
QUANTITATIVE REAL-TIME PCR DETECTION OF PERKINSUS MARINUS AND HAPLOSPORIDIUM NELSONI IN TEXAS OYSTERS
(2011-08-04)
Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) and Perkinsus marinus (Dermo) are protozoan parasites that
are traditionally detected using time and labor intensive histological methods. Recently
developed traditional PCR assays, specific ...
STUDYING REGUATION OF NEU5AC (SIALIC ACID) BIOSYNTHESIS IN DROSOPHILA
(2011-08-04)
Glycoconjugates are very important compounds found in all domains of life. They are
not primary products of genetic code like other structural biomolecules such as proteins
and nucleic acids. They are product of ...
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, and Wave Modeling in Stented Vessels
(2011-08-04)
Despite the many advances in medicine, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a major obstacle for survival in neonates. Recent studies have fostered interests in the effects of hemodynamics on the disease’s progression ...
DSS-mediated Inhibition of Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction
(2011-08-04)
The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC), is on the rise. UC is modeled in rodents by the consumption of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain ...

PEBBLE-BED NUCLEAR REACTOR SYSTEM PHYSICS AND FUEL UTILIZATION
(2011-04-20)
The Generation IV Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PMBR) design may be used for electricity production, co-generation applications (industrial heat, hydrogen production, desalination, etc.), and could potentially eliminate some ...
