Increased sensitivity and discrimination in screening through an immobilized-resin microbiological assay method
(Springer-Verlag; Society for Industrial Microbiology, 1987-10)
Problems with present bioactive microbial product screening techniques include low sensitivity and insufficient discrimination capabilities. These problems are addressed by our new immobilized-resin microbiological assay. ...
Self-contained actuation of phase-change pistons in microchannels
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2006-04-01)
An inchworm-like self-contained actuation mechanism for phase-change pistons using a movable thermopneumatic air chamber has been demonstrated. Two phase-change pistons that enclose an air pocket between them have been ...
Mass transfer effects on microbial uptake of naphthalene from complex NAPLs
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-12-20)
The bioavailability of naphthalene present as a component of a complex nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) comprised by nine aromatic compounds was investigated. Specifically, the effects of naphthalene mass transfer from the ...

The toughening of polyamide-6 by brominated poly(isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene): fracture and toughening mechanisms
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
A study on the toughening of polyamide-6 (PA-6) with a new elastomeric modifier, brominated poly(isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene) (BrXP-50), was conducted. Morphological analyses and mechanical tests were combined to evaluate ...
Coordination of Cell Signaling and Transport Machineries in Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport
(2008)
Insulin-stimulated glucose transport is the rate-limiting step in glucose disposal and utilization. Insulin increases glucose uptake in fat and muscle through the translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter ...
