The hunt for CikR: response regulator for CikA in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942
(2006-07-11)
Circadian rhythms are daily cycles of activity that have been demonstrated in many organisms including bacteria, fungi, insects, plants, and mammals. A clock system is composed of three parts: the input pathway, the central ...
SNAKE SPECIES RICHNESS IN RELATION TO HABITAT IN THE POST OAK SAVANNAH OF EAST CENTRAL TEXAS
(2006-07-11)
This project examined snake species richness and relative abundances in a heterogeneous landscape within the post oak savannah of East Central Texas. Snakes were sampled using funnel traps (with drift fences for terrestrial ...
Bcep176 and Bglu421 - two novel phages contributing to the understanding of pathogenicity and diversity in Burkholderiacae
(2006-07-11)
Phage, although but a fraction of the size of bacteria, can, by lysogenic conversion, transform a harmless bacterium into a ruthless pathogen (3). This paper will discuss two new lysogenic dsDNA tailed phages of Burkholderia. ...
Isolation and Characterization of an Anti-viral RISC in Plants
(2006-07-11)
As a defense against viral infection, plants are only very recently thought to use an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) as part of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway to target and cleave viral RNA. To counteract this, ...
Austism and the Potential Role of Immune Function and Prenatal Methymercury Exposure
(2006-07-11)
Methylmercury (MeHg) remains to be a major public health concern because of the presence of widespread contamination of our environment and the severe neuropathological changes that can occur with exposure to the developing ...
IDENTIFICATION OF EROSIONAL HOTSPOTS AND SHORELINE POSITION UTILIZING AN ALONGSHORE SHORELINE MONITORING SYSTEM: GALVESTON ISLAND’S WEST END
(2006-07-11)
A continuous synoptic alongshore method of beach surveying was developed to identify shoreline position, erosional hotspots, and to examine the morphological variation of the Gulf beaches of Galveston Island’s west end. ...
Effects of Sialyltransferase Mutation on Drosophila melanogaster Viability, Fertility, and Longevity
(2006-07-11)
Sialyltransferase and other glycosylation enzymes are emerging as important players in crucial regulatory post-translational modifications. These enzymes transfer sugars to glycoproteins and glycolipids, and may aid in ...
Micropolis: A Virtual City for Water Distribution System Research Applications
(2006-07-11)
For security reasons, cities keep their water distribution system data confidential. This data includes geographic layout of pipes, tanks, pumps, wells, buildings, and demands. While the secrecy of water system data is ...
Annexation of Interchromosomal Space During Viral Infection of 3D Tissue Matrix
(2006-07-11)
The process of viral infection has been shown to be a tightly structured process that exerts precise control over the nucleus. By quantitatively documenting the dynamic nuclear changes in response to nuclear infection of ...
Analysis of Pebble-Bed VHTR Spectrum Shifting Capabilities for Advanced Fuel Cycles
(2006-07-11)
Gas-cooled nuclear reactors have been receiving specific attention for Generation IV possibilities due to desired characteristics such as relatively low cost, short construction period, and inherent safety. Attractive ...
