Resin Infiltration Therapy: A Micro-Invasive Approach to Treat White Spot Lesions in Dentistry
(2020-04-13)
Esthetic dentistry is on the rise and new treatments are evolving for treating white spot lesions. Resin infiltration is a micro-invasive procedure used to treat demineralized white spot lesions on the enamel surface. This ...
Plant Physiology in the Tropics: Two Studies Assessing the Effects of Environmental Factors on Plant Function, Adaptation, and Development
(2020-04-07)
With a high species diversity, novel ecosystem functioning, and distinct topographic features, tropical forests are home to vegetation that is highly specialized and adapted to its environment. While this has resulted in ...
Characterizing the Role of Transcription Factor Hb9 in Glial Cell Development
(2020-04-20)
Hb9 (Mnx1) is a transcription factor described as a spinal cord motor neuron-specific marker in embryonic development and a critical factor for the post-mitotic specification of these cells. As such, transgenic mice with ...
C-Fibers Are Not Necessary for the Development of Pain-Induced Hemorrhage Following SCI
(2020-04-20)
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are commonly accompanied by additional injuries (polytrauma), such as lacerations, bone fractures, and burns. These injuries serve as origins for pain (nociceptive) input to the spinal cord. ...
Coa4 is Required for Copper Delivery to Cytochrome c Oxidase
(2020-04-16)
Copper is required for the assembly and activity of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. As a multi-subunit metalloprotein, CcO biogenesis involves many assembly factors ...
Layer-by-Layer Polyphosphazene Coatings for Biomedical Applications
(2020-04-30)
This work explores antibiotic-containing coatings constructed utilizing polyphosphazenes (PPz) and designed to release antibiotics only in the presence of bacteria. Specifically, polymer coatings of anionic PPzs with ...
Orchestrate: A System Demonstrating Easy Substitution of Browsing Semantics Engines
(2020-04-16)
The Orchestrate project explored the separation of a browsing semantics engine from the other user-visible components of a hypertext or other linking system. This allows more flexibility in the semantics of the links ...
Inequity in Popular Voice Recognition Systems Regarding African Accents
(2020-04-28)
With new age speakers such as the Echo Dot and Google Home, everyone should have equal opportunity to use them. Yet, for many popular voice recognition systems, the only accents that have wide support are those from Europe, ...
An Investigation of the Mechano-Sensory System on the Body of Three Members of the North American Cyprinid Genus Notropis (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)
(2020-04-22)
Scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy will be used to investigate the distribution of superficial neuromasts on the surface of the body in three species of the North American minnow genus Notropis. This will ...
Polyphosphate Affects Characteristics of Development in Dictyostelium discoideum
(2020-04-23)
Polyphosphate is a molecule ubiquitous throughout all domains of life that has a wide variety of physiological roles. It is especially prevalent in bacteria, where it modulates stress responses, survival, quorum sensing ...
