The gustatory competence of the lingual epithelium requires neonatal innervation
(Elsevier, 1993-04-16)
The rat vallate papilla is bilaterally innervated by the IXth nerve whose axons are required for the normal development of its several hundred taste buds. Temporary denervation during the developmental sensitive period for ...
Modeling and analyzing HIV transmission: the effect of contact patterns
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
A compartmental model is presented for the spread of HIV in a homosexual population divided into subgroups by degree of sexual activity. The model includes constant recruitment rates for the susceptibles in the subgroups. ...
Growth equations: A general equation and a survey of special cases
(Elsevier, 1980-04)
Although growth in its various manifestations has been studied for centuries and although there are a large number of well-established growth "laws," that work is almost entirely empirical and lacks a theoretical foundation ...
NGF effects on developing forebrain cholinergic neurons are regionally specific
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1987-11)
Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been shown to have an effect on neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). A number of observations suggest that NGF acts as a trophic factor for cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain ...
Assessing microbial competition in a hydrogen‐based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) using multidimensional modeling
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-09)
The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is a novel technology that safely delivers hydrogen to the base of a denitrifying biofilm via gas‐supplying membranes. While hydrogen is an effective electron donor for denitrifying ...
Prediction of protein function by discriminant analysis
(Elsevier, 1986-10)
Approximately 53% the protein sequences in the National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF) database can be allocated to one of 26 functional classes, each of which can be characterized by the joint occurrence of four ...
Biomass evolution in porous media and its effects on permeability under starvation conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-07-05)
The purpose of this study was to understand bacteria profile modification and its applications in subsurface biological operations such as biobarrier formation, in situ bioremediation, and microbial-enhanced oil recovery. ...
Localized lentivirus delivery via peptide interactions
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.InTech, 2016-09)
Gene delivery from biomaterial scaffolds has been employed to induce the expression of tissue inductive factors for applications in regenerative medicine. The delivery of viral vectors has been described as reflecting a ...
Elemental balancing of biomass and medium composition enhances growth capacity in high-density Chlorella vulgaris cultures
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-09-05)
The basic requirements for high-density photoautotrophic microalgal cultures in enclosed photobioreactors are a powerful light source and proper distribution of light, efficient gas exchange, and suitable medium composition. ...
