Huang, Mian (2017-05-10)Candida glabrata (C. glabrata) is an emerging opportunistic human fungal pathogen with an increasing incidence as the cause of both mucosal and systemic infections. In addition, the fungus is the most commonly used ...
-
Lee, Annie Hyojeong (2023-07-05)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is expected to escalate into a major crisis as bacterial infections become increasingly harder to treat. Some difficult-to-eradicate bacteria may be treated with multiple antibiotic drugs. ...

Desai, Suchi K (2022-07-20)In this report, we study the reaction kinetics of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) and a curing agent (Jeffamine T403) and demonstrate new techniques to print multi-layered structures using localized RF heating and ...
-
Jonnalagadda, Sai Vamshi Reddy (2019-08-22)The self-assembly of short peptides into amyloid structures is linked to several diseases but has also been exploited for the design of novel functional amyloid-based materials. Such materials are potentially biocompatible ...
-
Ma, Rong (2022-06-09)Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), as one of derivatives of graphene, are essentially zero- dimensional for graphene. Their extremely small size endows them with more intriguing properties. Additionally, plenty of oxygen-containing ...
-
Wu, Hung-Jen (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)In this dissertation, we describe a novel method that we call Diffusing Colloidal Probe Microscopy (DCPM), which integrates Total Internal Reflection Microscopy (TIRM) and Video Microscopy (VM) methods to monitor three ...
-
Liang, Qiushi (2022-07-29)Microbiomes have drawn a large interest in the scientific community in recent years (Hornung et al, 2019). Currently, it is postulated that Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT), a common phenomenon that occurs across many bacterial ...
-
Godara, Avinash (2021-04-06)Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a powerful tool used to increase strain fitness in the presence of environmental stressors. Apart from growth improvement, ALE can also be used for improving productivity if production ...
-
Krishnan, Pratik (2019-02-28)Liquefaction of natural gas is an effective way to easily store and transport natural gas. A spill of liquefied natural gas (LNG) can result in the formation of a vapor cloud, which can migrate downwind near the ground ...
-
Worstell, Nolan Cecil (2018-01-19)Adhesion of carbohydrate binding proteins called lectins to cell membrane components mediates pathogen interactions with host cells. In working with cell membrane mimicking lipid bilayers, we observed that weak affinity ...
-
Choi, Byung-Hee (2018-05-01)A microfluidic filtration device based on the configuration of two curved parallel lanes connected through a narrow bridge is investigated in this study. The bridge is oriented perpendicular to the main flow direction, ...
-
Cao, Zhiming (2016-05-23)The widespread industrial uses of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and their unregulated disposal have raised increasing concerns about the consequences of these nanoparticles on the environmental health and safety. ...
-
Lavi, Edwin David (2023-05-01)To manage large blood inventories efficiently for transfusions, medical institutions require cost-effective tools to characterize the viability of human red blood cells (RBCs) from the point of collection to transfusion. ...
-
Henry, Kai Patrick (2016-11-08)For hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film PIN diodes fabricated using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, the effects of the n^+ layer deposition power, the existence of an aluminum reflector layer, and ...
-
Klemashevich, Cory Lee (2016-12-07)The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is colonized by ~10^14 bacteria belonging to ~1,000 species that are collectively termed the intestinal microbiota. Recent studies show that the intestinal microbiota impacts a wide ...
