A Fully Implantable, Miniaturized RFID Platform for Neurosurgical Biomedical Devices
(2018-04-23)
Hydrocephalus occurs when excessive quantities of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulate in the ventricles. Current treatment of the condition involves implanting a ventricular shunt, composed of an inflow catheter originating ...
Testate Amoebae Communities Sensitive to Soil Moisture in Mountain Fens
(2019-04-22)
Minerotrophic peatlands found in mountain regions of the world are relatively widespread ecosystems that could be used as paleoecological and paleoclimatic archives. However, they have received much less attention than ...
Role of Galectin in the Regulation of Neural Excitability by Drosophila sialyltransferase
(2013-03-22)
Galectins are major sugar binding proteins that can be blocked from interactions with its sugar epitopes, galactose, by sialylation. Previous research from Panin lab has showed that sialylation affects the neural excitability. ...
An Efficient External-Memory Sorting Algorithm
(2019-04-23)
External-memory sorting is a well-versed subject, with a history going back several decades. However, current implementations of external-memory sorting algorithms are not able to fully take advantage of the power of modern ...
Identification of Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium Genes Necessary for Regulation of Flagellin Production Under SPI-2-Inducing Growth Conditions
(2013-02-12)
Human food-borne pathogen Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium has evolved a sophisticated way to avoid the host immune response. Salmonella Typhimurium possesses various virulence factors to ensure successful colonization ...
The Effect of Autologous Platelet Lysate on the Expansion and Adhesion Characteristics of Equine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2015-11-10)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are undifferentiated cells that are being investigated as a therapy for equine musculoskeletal disease. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is commonly used as a serum supplement when culturing MSCs. ...
The Use of Autologous Platelet Lysate in the Expansion of Equine Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2014-12-16)
Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has a been standard supplement for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) culture mediums. Unfortunately the use of this supplement can cause xenogenic reactions when contaminated MSCs are injected into the ...
Strain Typing of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Southern United States
(2019-04-19)
Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic in Latin America and has also been documented in the United States. The disease has a wide range of symptoms, ranging from acute, cold-like ...
Comparison of Autologous Platelet Releasate and Fetal Bovine Serum for In Vitro Expansion of Equine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(2018-04-30)
In human and veterinary medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have significant therapeutic benefits. MSCs can differentiate into a variety of cells including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, or adipocytes. Fetal bovine serum ...
IBAS: An Infinite Buffer Abstraction for Streaming
(2019-04-26)
Recent technological trends have resulted in the creation, manipulation and storage of vast amounts of information. Effectively dealing with these data volumes requires scalable data computing capable of functioning at ...
