Recyclable Phase-Anchored Silylation Reagents
(2015-09-24)
Chlorosilanes are common protecting groups. However, in use, they introduce an extra step and after use they are discarded. As part of an effort to make these species’ use greener, we have been exploring effective ways ...
Macroporous PDMSstar–MA:PEG-DA Hydrogels for Osteochondral Regeneration
(2015-09-24)
Osteochondral defects (OCDs) are the result of severe cartilage loss leading to exposure and damage of the subchondral bone. “Materials-guided” tissue engineering is a promising approach to treat these defects, in which a ...
Investigating the response to Indole derivatives through the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor and Other Signaling Pathways
(2015-11-18)
Gastrointestinal tract bacteria can transform molecules into metabolites that can either be utilized
by the mammalian host or can induce signaling in the host. One such metabolite, indole (and its
derivatives), is generated ...
Circadian Regulation of Translation in Neurospora crassa
(2015-09-23)
The circadian clock controls daily rhythms in messenger RNA (mRNA) accumulation of up to 40% of the eukaryotic genome. In addition, in the mouse liver, about 50% of proteins that cycle in abundance are produced from mRNAs ...
Fiber Optic Coil - Fabrication and Characterization
(2015-09-29)
The goal is to develop a device which periodically couples a pump signal to a signal propagating within a fiber such that the highest amount of optical gain is observed. This idea is based off the proposition that using ...
Germination Rates of Spring Canola (Brassica napus L.) and Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars in Response to Temperature
(2015-09-29)
Though gaining popularity as an edible oilseed, canola (Brassica napus L.) is slow to make its way into the southern United States. Growers in Texas traditionally plant winter canola in the fall and harvest in the spring, ...
Mood and Personality Predictors of Political Preference/Affiliation
(2015-11-12)
With the upcoming presidential election in 2016, there is a growing interest in voting patterns and political affiliations. Of particular interest in the present research is the relationship between political affiliations ...
Can Minocycline Reduce Cytokine-Induced Bone Resorption After SCI?
(2015-11-17)
Spinal contusion injuries are characterized by an increased excitation of the immune system that results in inflammation and heightened expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system (CNS) ...
Societal Views of Women as Political Leaders in the Arab World
(2015-11-17)
The Arab World is notorious for its poor track record on issues of women’s rights and women’s representation in society, particularly in the public sphere. Yet women are making gains, particularly in countries such as ...
The Synthesis and Enzymatic Characterization of 6-Amino-FMN with BluB; The Last Unsolved Biosynthetic Module of Vitamin B12
(2015-12-21)
The last unsolved module for the biosynthetic pathway of vitamin B12 is the biosynthesis of the
lower axial ligand, dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB). Recently, the oxygen-dependent enzyme,
BluB, has been shown to catalyze the ...
