(2016-01-08)K^+ channels are a class of membrane proteins that rapidly and selectively transport K^+ ions across lipid membranes. K^+ ions are concentrated inside the cell, and its efflux is responsible for the rapid repolarization ...
-
(2013-05-06)The purpose of this study was to explore the evolution of collaborative practices of PLCs as they emerge when using technology based formative assessment via iFAIT or innovative Formative Assessment with Instruction and ...
-
(2019-05-24)As the number of design candidates in generative and design optimization systems is often excessive and overwhelming, with similar and redundant shapes of design candidates evolving, there is a need for an articulation ...
-
(2012-07-16)The k-sample problem, i.e., testing whether two or more data sets come from the same population, is a classic one in statistics. Instead of having a small number of k groups of samples, this dissertation works on a large ...
-
(2015-08-11)This work explores the interplay of C*-dynamics and K-theory. More precisely, we study the extent to which various forms of finite-dimensional approximation properties of a topological nature, witnessed in reduced C*-crossed ...
-
(2022-05-18)Two-pore potassium channels (K₂ᴘ) are leak channels responsible for maintaining the resting membrane potential. While they are known to be activated by lysophospholipids and particularly sensitive to their lipid environment ...
-
(2012-07-16)The circadian clock orchestrates metabolism and cell division and imposes important consequences to health and diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer. It is well established that phosphorylation-dependent circadian ...

(2011-08-08)NP-Hardness is a well-known theory to identify the hardness of computational problems. It is believed that NP-Hard problems are unlikely to admit polynomial-time algorithms. However since many NP-Hard problems are of ...
-
(2009-05-15)With the advent of supergravity and superstring theory, it is of great importance to study higher-dimensional solutions to the Einstein equations. In this dissertation, we study the higher dimensional Kerr-AdS metrics, and ...
-
(2012-08-15)The MixAlco process uses an anaerobic, mixed-culture fermentation to convert lignocellulosic biomass to carboxylate salts. The fermentation broth must be clarified so that only carboxylate salts, water, and minimal impurities ...
-
(2013-11-25)The Eagle Ford shale of South Texas has become one of the most active and most important shale plays in the U.S. This success has been possible because of the unique geology and richness of the play, allowing significant ...
