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 ...
ROTATIONAL AND VIBRATIONAL RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY FOR FLOW FROM AN UNDEREXPANDED JET NOZZLE
(2008-08-19)
The objective of this work is the construction of a fully functioning Raman line imaging spectrometer; and the measurement of pressure, temperature, and chemical concentration in supersonic flows issuing from a jet nozzle. ...
A Study of Atmospheric Deposition of Air Toxics to the Waters of Puget Sound
(2009-06-09)
Air pollutants can be deposited in many forms such as rain, snow, and gases. Urban centers are major sources of combustion-derived particulate matter, black carbon, and volatile organic carbon to the atmosphere. Expansion ...
THE EFFECT OF INCREASING TRANSPORTATION COST ON FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT.
(2009-06-09)
This study showed that certain influences in the global environment may have an impact
on FDI’s regional or country choice of investment. The following research questions
were explored. Are changes in FDI location choices ...
Analysis of the Temporal Evolution of Thermal Conductivity in Alumina-Water Nanofluid
(2009-09-30)
In this effort, the temporal behavior of a manufactured alumina (Al2O3) – water nanofluid was evaluated. Measurements of nanofluid effective thermal conductivity were acquired over an extended time period. Analysis of ...
Concurrency in a System for Symbolic and Algebraic Computations
(2009-06-09)
As miniaturization of computer components is approaching the limits of physics, researchers in computer architecture are looking for less conventional means to perpetuate Moore's law. Recent trends in hardware ve been ...
