Training of the next generation of biostatisticians: a call to action in the U.S.
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-10-30)
Two workshops (2001, 2003) were held by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to examine the need to train more biostatisticians in the U.S. to meet the increasing opportunities in the biomedical research enterprise. The ...
Cell affinity separations using magnetically stabilized fluidized beds: Erythrocyte subpopulation fractionation utilizing a lectin-magnetite support
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-03-20)
A magnetically stabilized fluidized bed is used to separate erythrocyte subpopulations. Binding specificity was obtained by immobilizing the lectin Helix pomatia Agglutinin (HpA) or Griffonia simplicifolia I (GSI) onto ...
On Bayesian methods of exploring qualitative interactions for targeted treatment
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2012-12-10)
Evaluation of encapsulating and microporous nondegradable hydrogel scaffold designs on islet engraftment in rodent models of diabetes
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-09)
Islet transplantation is a promising therapeutic option for type 1 diabetes mellitus, yet the current delivery into the hepatic portal vasculature is limited by poor engraftment. Biomaterials have been used as a means to ...
A microfluidic bioreactor with integrated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes for evaluation of renal epithelial cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-11-01)
We have developed a bilayer microfluidic system with integrated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes to evaluate kidney epithelial cells under physiologically relevant fluid flow conditions. ...
Pore-scale investigation of biomass plug development and propagation in porous media
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002-03-05)
Biomass plugging of porous media finds application in enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation. An understanding of biomass plugging of porous media was sought by using a porous glass micromodel through which biomass and ...
New Statistical Issues for Censored Survival Data: High-Dimensionality and Censored Covariate.
(2014)
Censored survival data arise commonly in many areas including epidemiology, engineering and sociology. In this dissertation, we explore several emerging statistical issues for censored survival data.
In Chapter 2, we ...
Developing multicomponent interventions using fractional factorial designs
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-09-20)
Multicomponent interventions composed of behavioral, delivery, or implementation factors in addition to medications are becoming increasingly common in health sciences. A natural experimental approach to developing and ...
Growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL-B523 in an alkaline medium: Suboptimal pH growth inhibition of a lactic acid bacterium
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-01-05)
Bacterial profile modification (BPM), a form of tertiary oil recovery, diverts water from the water-flooded high-permeability zone into the oil-bearing low-permeability zone. During field use, exopolymer-producing bacteria ...
Generalizing the TITE-CRM to adapt for early- and late-onset toxicities
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005)
Due to the staggered entry of subjects in phase I trials, some subjects will only be partially through the study when others are ready to be enrolled. Nonetheless, many phase I designs focus solely upon whether or not ...
