(2018-05-03)Spanins are required for the last step in bacteriophage lysis: the disruption of the outer membrane. However, bioinformatic analysis has shown 15 percent of phages lack a spanin gene, which suggests an alternate mechanism ...
-
This research explores how investigative techniques of interrogation destroy a subject’s sense of self and guide them to make inculpatory statements or confessions to be used in a Court of Law. The main theory to be used ...
-
As the Large Hadron Collider undergoes upgrades to increase luminosity, more detectors and faster data processing is needed. The X2O is a custom electronics board to support operations in the Endcap Muon System of the ...
-
Endospore formation by Clostridium difficile is a vital part of the life cycle for this Gram-positive bacterium. During this process, the mothercell packages proteins into the developing endospore. However, the mechanisms ...
-
In recent years, a growing number of researchers have taken an interest in the relationship between psychopathology and sleep. However, few studies have investigated this relationship in vulnerable populations (e.g., preterm ...
-
The purpose of our systematic literature review of ectoparasite prevention compliance is to uncover the percentages of the public who do not comply with the recommended dosage of these drugs and what influences their ...
-
The current political administration has been deemed one of the most racially charged administrations in history. President Trump has been accused of “pushing an anti-immigrant hate into the mainstream” and using rhetoric ...
