Recognizing Seatbelt-Fastening Activity Using Wearable Sensor Technology
(2017-04-27)
Many fatal car accidents involve victims who were not wearing a seatbelt, even though systems for detecting such behavior and intervening to correct it already exist. Activity recognition using wearable sensors has been ...
A Shift in the Lysis Paradigm: How Phage PhiKT Breaks Free
(2018-05-03)
Spanins are required for the last step in bacteriophage lysis: the disruption of the outer membrane. However, bioinformatic analysis has shown 15 percent of phages lack a spanin gene, which suggests an alternate mechanism ...
Virus-Host Interactions Within Galveston Bay, Texas
(2018-04-30)
Viruses are among the most abundant biological entities in the world, numbering approximately 4x1030 in the ocean alone. Despite the inherent importance of viruses, aspects of host preferences and specificity within the ...
The War on Dissent: Legal Repression in the Civil Rights Era
(2018-04-25)
Beginning in the 1960s, concerns about rising crime rates, urban rebellions, and political demonstrations across the United States prompted a shift toward “law and order” for many Americans. Over the following decades, ...
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. ...
