CBPsp: complex business processes for stream processing
(2011-04-01)
This thesis presents the framework of a complex business process driven event
stream processing system to produce meaningful output with direct implications to the
business objectives of an organization. This framework is ...
Cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors modulate defense transcripts and regulate genes that are implicated in cell wall re-structuring in arabidopsis
(2011-06-01)
The cell wall is a multifunctional structure which is implicated in plant growth and development as well as responding to any environmental changes including biotic and abiotic stresses. One of the practical approaches in ...
A novel method of generating Dendritic cells in vitro using the KG-1 cell line and its use as a model for testing effects of lactic acid bacteria
(2011-08-01)
Dendritic cells (DCs) are prime mediators of innate and adaptive immunity. In humans the DC population comprise only 0.1% of all leukocytes, making their isolation and ex vivo manipulation difficult. Since study of DC ...
Graphene and graphane functionalization using hydrogen and nitrogen electronic optical and vibrational signatures
(2011-04-01)
Hydrogen is added to Graphene in various compositions and configurations to modify the band structure to produce a suitable band gap for microelectronic applications. Optical and vibrational spectra are calculated as a ...
The role of urban wetland diversity and function in contaminant fate
(2011-08-01)
It is recognized that microbial transformations are the primary mechanism of organic contaminant removal in natural and constructed wetland systems. However, not much is known about urban wetland microbial communities or ...
The anti-estrogenic and liver metabolic effects of DHAA in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2011-08-01)
Recent studies have shown that dehydroabietic acid (DHAA), a resin acid
present in pulp and paper mills, may have anti-estrogenic effects in fish. A
chronic-exposure toxicity experiment using immature rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus ...
Effects of endosulfan on human MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(2011-08-01)
Organochlorine pesticides (OCs) are environmental toxicants with important links to human health. They have been found to activate signalling pathways within cells and thereby affect cell survival and proliferation. Receptor ...
Effects of ibuprofen on Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following acute and chronic waterborne exposures
(2011-08-01)
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are a growing concern in the aquatic environment. Compounds from the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly detected in surface waters and have the potential ...
Single copy gene expression system as a tool for the purification of membrane proteins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2011-08-01)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen known to cause a variety of infections that are difficult to treat due to extremely high resistance to almost all antibiotics currently in clinical ...
Investigation into smoothed particle hydrodynamics for non-newtonian droplet modelling
(2011-08-01)
Droplet splatter dynamics is an important study in the field of forensics since a crime
event can produce many blood stains. Understanding the origins of the blood stains
from pure observations is very difficult because ...
