Modelling and simulating twitching bacteria and phytoglycogen nanoparticles
(2018-08-01)This thesis covers work conducted on two projects. Each of these projects involve application in the field of biology, and both have been completed through the use of computer simulation techniques. The first project is ... -
Modelling calcite dissolution in a rotating disc reaction vessel
(2021-06-01)The carbonate system is ubiquitous in nature, playing a role in many natural and industrial processes. For calcite dissolution, the kinetics and mass transport of the dissolved species reflect both the chemistry of the ... -
Modelling the movement of superparamagnetic beads engulfed in endothelial cells
(2018-04-01)Colonization of porous scaffolds with cells is of increasing importance for various tissue engineering applications. Controlled placement of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) within a micro-porous, poly-caprolactone ... -
The modification of fuel cell-based breath alcohol sensor materials to improve water retention of sensing performance
(2016-03-01)Fuel cell based breath alcohol sensors (BrASs) are one of the most important tools used by law enforcement today. While these devices are used globally, they all suffer from a common deficiency: reliance on water. The ... -
Modified Nafion membranes for hydrogen production in Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle
(2015-07-01)The decomposition of water by a thermochemical cycle is a promising green method of producing hydrogen on a large scale. A thermochemical cycle is a combination of thermal and chemical reactions that ultimately leads to ... -
A modular approach to image matting
(2022-11-01)Image matting is the art of creating an accurate alpha matte for the purpose of foreground separation in an image or video. Although there have been many methods which only require an input image, the best-performing image ... -
A modular interface framework for multimodal annotations and visualizations in Human-AI collaboration
(2021-07-01)Modular is a web-based annotation, visualization, and inference software plat-form for computational language and vision research. The platform enables researchers to set up an interface for efficiently annotating language ... -
A molecular characterization of agonists that bind to Hco-UNC-49, a GABA-gated chloride channel from Haemonchus contortus
(2012-11-01)Haemonchus contortus is a blood feeding parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health at great economic cost. The ability to pharmaceutically control infection has been challenged by the rapid ... -
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2009-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ... -
Molecular characterization of the binding site of nematode GABA-A receptors
(2010-08-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled in large part by nematocidal drugs that target receptors of the parasitic nervous system. Hco-UNC-49 is a nematode GABA receptor that has a relatively low ... -
Molecular characterization of the interactions of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division Pump MexJK of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with outer membrane proteins OprM and OpmH.
(2013-08-01)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, which has become a significant threat due to wide-spread antimicrobial resistance. Resistance Nodulation Division efflux pumps are important ... -
