Role of Galectin in the Regulation of Neural Excitability by Drosophila sialyltransferase
(2013-03-22)
Galectins are major sugar binding proteins that can be blocked from interactions with its sugar epitopes, galactose, by sialylation. Previous research from Panin lab has showed that sialylation affects the neural excitability. ...
Identification of Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium Genes Necessary for Regulation of Flagellin Production Under SPI-2-Inducing Growth Conditions
(2013-02-12)
Human food-borne pathogen Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium has evolved a sophisticated way to avoid the host immune response. Salmonella Typhimurium possesses various virulence factors to ensure successful colonization ...
NUMERICAL MODELING FOR THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF 3D TOPOGRAPHY ON MICROBIAL MAT SURFACES
(2013-09-27)
Microbial mats are layered, surface-attached communities of microorganism that live under stagnant or moving bodies of water. Active precipitations of minerals often occur around these spatially arranged communities, forming ...
Resistivity changes in carbon-implanted Teflon
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The change in resistance of Teflon due to the implantation of carbon atoms was measured. The procedure involved implanting carbon at energies of 40 kV, 50 kV, and 140 kV using beam currents ranging from 0.5 [mu]A to 3 ...
The Separation of Powers: Does Public Opinion Matter to the Supreme Court?
(2013-02-05)
The Supreme Court is an institution much revered in American political culture. This study will examine the role of that public support in the decision making of Supreme Court justices in the United States. I will go about ...
Looking for a Novel Double Mutant: Single Deletion in Drosophila melanogaster of Galectin-1 and Galectin Homologue
(2013-02-04)
Galectins represent a group of proteins that bind β-galactosyl-containing glycoconjugates and share primary structural homology in their carbohydrate recognition domains. In mammals, galectins contribute to cell-cell ...
