A structured model of photosynthesis in anacystis nidulans
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1978-01)
No Abstract.
Regulated expression of polysaccharide utilization and capsular biosynthesis loci in biofilm and planktonic Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron during growth in chemostats
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-01)
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a prominent member of the human distal gut microbiota that specializes in breaking down diet and host‐derived polysaccharides. While polysaccharide utilization has been well studied in B. ...
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 ...
Fluid shear stress stimulates breast cancer cells to display invasive and chemoresistant phenotypes while upregulating PLAU in a 3D bioreactor
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2019-11)
Breast cancer cells experience a range of shear stresses in the tumor microenvironment (TME). However most current in vitro three‐dimensional (3D) models fail to systematically probe the effects of this biophysical stimuli ...
Microporous scaffolds loaded with immunomodulatory lentivirus to study the contribution of immune cell populations to tumor cell recruitment in vivo
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-01)
Metastases are preceded by stochastic formation of a hospitable microenvironment known as the premetastatic niche, which has been difficult to study. Herein, we employ implantable polycaprolactone scaffolds as an engineered ...
Large unit red cell cryopreservation with hydroxyethyl starch
(Elsevier, 1976-10)
Full units of red blood cells frozen with 14% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) yield cell recoveries near 97% and saline stabilities greater than 80%. Potassium leaves the cells during the freeze-thaw cycle and increases the ...
Human Migration, Population Divergence, and the Accumulation of Deleterious Alleles: Insights from Private Genetic Variation and Whole-exome Sequencing.
(2012)
Private genetic variants---genetic variants found only in a single population in a sample---have been highly informative for studies of evolutionary history. This dissertation uses theoretical modeling and empirical ...
Efficient Methods for Analysis of Genome Scale Data.
(2009)
In my dissertation I develop and evaluate methods for gene-mapping that can extract useful information from large complex datasets with many genetic markers and outcomes measured. The first part of the dissertation describes ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
