The Comparative Effects of Acid Suppressants on Healthy and Neoplastic In Vitro Mast Cells
(2022-04-26)
Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are common skin tumors in dogs and are treated surgically when possible. Because of their integral role as sentinels of immunity, release of inflammatory mediators by MCTs during activation (e.g. ...
Communication and Computation Optimizations in Modular Systems-On-Chip
(2022-03-04)
In our modern world where everyone is always connected through internet, terabytes of data gets generated at every moment through online activities like communication on social media, on-line banking, online shopping, ...
Machine-Learning Algorithms for Multispectral Autofluorescence Lifetime Imaging (maFLIM) Based Detection of Oral and Skin Cancer Lesions
(2022-04-20)
Accurate early diagnosis of malignant skin lesions is critical in providing adequate and timely treatment. Unfortunately, initial clinical evaluation of similarly looking benign and malignant skin lesions can result in ...
Improving Native Prairie Restoration Modeling for Flood Reduction Using Pedotransfer Functions
(2022-01-21)
Prairie restoration is widely viewed as beneficial because it can restore natural ecological and hydrologic function. Modeling of prairie restoration is essential to quantify the benefits of prairie lands. The accurate ...
Assessing Mutualisms and Population Genetics in an Invasive Ant and Aphid
(2022-01-31)
When invasive species arrive to new locations, they do not arrive alone. Invasive species come with a symbiotic entourage and can establish new interactions involving both microscopic and macroscopic organisms in their ...
