(2011-05-04)Rotavirus (RV) is a viral pathogen that infects everyone worldwide. It initially infects the enterocytes of the small intestine causing severe diarrhea in affected patients, primarily the young. RV nonstructural protein 4 ...
-
Recently, the rapid pace at which bacteria can successfully evade antibiotics has alarmed public health officials, since they could render even our most powerful antibiotics useless. With this in mind, it is evident to see ...
-
(1979)The studies reported in this paper examine the metabolic reorientation of purine nucleotide metabolism during the development of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. There appears to be an energy oriented ...
-
(2013-09-24)This paper is an effort to determine the purposes of party manifestos (aka platforms), and more specifically how a party’s experience in governance determines the strategies they pursue, through the structure of their ...
-
(2006-08-16)Control over reproduction is obviously not the only component in the fight for women’s equality. However, control over one’s body is essential to control over one’s destiny. This control is essential for a person desiring ...
-
Many problems are caused by coking within engines with extreme operating conditions. Coking is a type of deposit formation and can interfere with reliable fluid flow and a machine’s mechanical movements, increase wear ...
-
(2014-12-12)Q fever is a globally important zoonotic infection caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Since C. burnetii is both an occupational hazard to humans interacting with naturally infected animals ...
-
(2011-08-08)The primary objective of this research is to identify the defining characteristics of “good design” as applied to Industrial Design and to determine what specific qualities it possesses. I assessed what qualities in a ...
-
(2020-04-30)Cell-based therapeutics is a current effective strategy for the potential curing of several human diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous group of cells that have been the subject of recent attention ...
-
(2016-02-09)A common problem that arises in radiation therapy treatment planning for head and neck cancers is the streaking artifacts in CT images produced from metallic dental implants (MDIs). These artifacts cause the densities of ...
-
(1980)Kleingrass, Panicum coloratum, is a warm season perennial bunchgrass introduced from South Africa in 1942. This species is very palatable when grazed by livestock and is distributed throughout Texas. Three samples were ...
-
Antibiotic resistance decreases the effectiveness of antibiotics. With resistant bacteria, antibiotics will no longer stop an infection. With an increase exposure of antibiotics, bacteria become resistant to them. Antibiotic ...
-
(2011-04-19)The presented research aims to develop an alternative and potentially superior method for diagnosing Glaucoma by relating IOP to deformation in different layers of corneal tissue via Fourier Domain Optical Coherence ...
-
(2015-08-28)Despite the importance of dual-hydrogen-bonding organocatalysis in modern synthetic organic chemistry, the optimal hydrogen-bond donors for various common functional groups remain unknown. Additionally, the relationship ...
-
(2011-08-04)Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) and Perkinsus marinus (Dermo) are protozoan parasites that are traditionally detected using time and labor intensive histological methods. Recently developed traditional PCR assays, specific ...
-
We investigate non-random quantum channels generated from the representation the- ory of orthogonal quantum groups to perform numerical computations for estimates of their minimum output entropies. In doing so, we address ...
-
The basic unit of information within quantum mechanics can be modeled through two-level systems to provide a foundational understanding of quantum information theory. These quantum systems, which can be represented by ...
-
Optimization problems are ubiquitous in but not limited to the sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics. Examples range from the fastest way USPS can route packages through a delivery network to the best way an ...
