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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Stochastic Model for Wound Healing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006-03)
We present a discrete stochastic model which represents many of the salient features of the biological process of wound healing. The model describes fronts of cells invading a wound. We have numerical results in one and ...
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. ...
Interplay between perturbative and non-perturbative effects in the stealthy Higgs model
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg / Società Italiana di Fisica, 2001-05)
We study corrections to electroweak precision variables in a model with strongly interacting singlet Higgs particles.
Validation of a two-parameter quantitative structure–activity relationship as a legitimate tool for rational re-design of horseradish peroxidase
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-09-01)
Previously reported rates of reaction between six mutant strains of the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a test substrate, 2-methoyxpyhenol, were found to correlate with characteristic binding distances computed ...
Exact Results for the Universal Area Distribution of Clusters in Percolation, Ising, and Potts Models
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-01)
At the critical point in two dimensions, the number of percolation clusters of enclosed area greater than A is proportional to A −1 , with a proportionality constant C that is universal. We show theoretically (based upon ...
Alteration of the growth rate and lag time of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL-B523
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03-20)
Bacterial profile modification is an important enhanced oil recovery technique used to direct injected water into a reservoir's low permeability zone containing trapped crude oil. During water flooding, the use of bacteria ...
Similarity of Percolation Thresholds on the HCP and FCC Lattices
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-02)
Extensive Monte Carlo simulations were performed in order to determine the precise values of the critical thresholds for site ( p hcp c , S =0.199 255 5±0.000 001 0) and bond ( p hcp c , B =0.120 164 0±0.000 001 0) ...
