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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Model-based analysis and design of a microchannel reactor for tissue engineering
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-06-20)
Recently developed perfusion micro-bioreactors offer the promise of more physiologic in vitro systems for tissue engineering. Successful application of such bioreactors will require a method to characterize the bioreactor ...
Proteomics Approaches to Uncover the Repertoire of Circulating Biomarkers for Breast Cancer
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-10)
There is substantial interest in applying proteomics to cancer biomarker discovery. Proteomics is particularly suited for profiling biological fluids and uncovering circulating markers and is currently being applied to the ...
Domestic Violence and Women’s Employment: Fixed Effects Models of Three Waves of Women’s Employment Study Data
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-09)
Domestic violence can interfere with women’s ability to work, and may result in loss of welfare benefits and poorer economic outcomes. Previous studies showing no effect of domestic violence on employment could be a result ...
Simple transporter trafficking model for amphetamine-induced dopamine efflux
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07)
Amphetamine and its derivatives are important drugs of abuse causing both short-term excitatory and long-term addictive effects. The short-term excitatory effects are linked to amphetamine's ability to maintain high levels ...
