(2012-05-03)Clostridium difficile is a spore forming, anaerobic bacterium that can cause diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, and toxic mega colon in susceptible hosts. C. difficile spores are highly resistant to extreme chemical and ...
-
(2013-09-19)The class I MHC region in the vertebrate genome contains genes for receptor proteins that present cytosolic antigens to lymphocytes in the initial phase of the immune response. Most cattle express a class I gene called ...
-
(2015-11-18)Escherichia coli (E. coli) has a potassium (K+) channel (kch) and a non-selective ion channel (trkH/G). The goal of this project is to explore the individual function and modes of regulation for each system, which will ...
-
(2015-09-23)Circadian clocks drive rhythmic gene expression to enable biological functions to perform optimally at the most appropriate time of day. Circadian rhythms rely on the binding of the transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 to ...
-
(2018-04-23)Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming pathogen. Due to, in part, the highly transmissible spore morphotype, C. difficile infections (CDI) frequently occur in cycles of recurring disease that ...
-
(2014-01-22)A yeast suppressor screen was employed to identify proteins synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which suppress the toxicity of C. burnetii effector CBU0041 (CirA). Transformants were serially diluted and spotted onto ...
-
It is easy to “ping” a remote computer from one’s own to determine the time delay between them, but estimating the latency between two remote hosts is much less trivial. This problem has various applications: social ...
-
Vibrationally Excited Nitric Oxide Monitoring (VENOM)14 is a technique which utilizes the electronic excitation of the tracer molecule NO in high speed gas flows to make simultaneous velocity and temperature measurements. ...
-
Characterization of Fluffy A. nidulans Mutants Induced by 5-Azacytidine and 4-Nitroquinoline-1-Oxide (1991)The manner in which the fluF mutation was isolated makes it very interesting because it suggests that it may arise from an epigenetic defect. 5-Azacytidine (5-AC) treatment results in a high frequency of conversion of wild ...
-
(1995)GaSb/Sb heterostructures hold the promise of being very interesting materials. Properties introduced by the growth of the semiconductor and semi-metal together may prove to be very useful in various electronic devices. ...
-
Characterization of genetic variation of the gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) along the Texas coast (2014-09-25)The gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) is a widely distributed cyprinodontiform of ecological importance in salt marshes of the Gulf of Mexico. Both the reproductive strategy and apparently limited dispersal capabilities ...
-
(2012-05-07)This study analyzes the effects of varying conditions for the assessment of micro-parameters of granular materials based on both laboratory and numerical experiments. The aim is to investigate the effects of varying ...
-
(2007-09-17)Tuberculosis is the world’s leading cause of death by infectious disease. Antibiotic resistance and HIV co-infection is increasing at an alarming rate. Mycosins-1-5 are subtilisin-like serine proteases within the periplasmic ...
-
(1977)Dust emissions from agricultural processes have never been considered much of a problem in years past. With most of these processes taking place in rural areas, government regulatory agencies have very often exempted ...
-
(2011-08-04)Numerous studies have been conducted using porphyrin molecules on various substrates to investigate their diverse photoelectrochemical, catalytic, electronic, and biochemical properties. These properties make porphyrin ...
-
(1991)The retinoblastoma gene is the prototype for a class of recessive cancer genes in which loss of activity of both normal alleles is associated with the occurrence of cancer. Deletions occurring at the RB1 locus on chromosome ...
-
(1979)In this study, cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase from human lung tissue was investigated. After a brief review of the literature, some physical properties of the enzyme were characterized. A Heat Lability study ...
-
(2011-08-04)Shrinking and swelling soils cause extensive infrastructure and economic damage worldwide. Shrink-swell soils are of great concern in Texas for two reasons, 1) Texas has the most acreage of shrink-swell soils in the United ...
-
(2020-04-20)Mammalian regeneration capabilities are amputation-level-dependent; amputations of the terminal phalanx (P3) initiate regeneration mediated by a blastema, while amputations transecting more proximal levels of the digit ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Genes within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are involved in immune response to infectious agents, tumor metastasis, stress response, gametogenesis, and development, including embryogenesis. Therefore, ...
