A parallel adaptive method for pseudo-arclength continuation
(2011-08-01)
We parallelize the pseudo-arclength continuation method for solving nonlinear systems
of equations. Pseudo-arclength continuation is a predictor-corrector method where the
correction step consists of solving a linear system ...
Effect of iron content on electrodeposited Fe-MnOx catalysts for water oxidation
(2018-04-01)
MnOx materials are earth-abundant and known to be efficient catalysts for the water
oxidation reaction (WOR). I present the exploration of an optimal method of cathodically
electrodepositing MnOx catalysts on an FTO ...
Cluster-based target tracking in vehicular ad hoc networks
(2015-01-01)
Recently Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of academic and industry researchers due to their potential applications in enabling Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), including safe driving, ...
The regulation of RANK and RANKL mRNA expression through activation of the JAK2/STAT5a pathway in human breast cancer cell lines ©
(2009-09-01)
The receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB (RANK) and its ligand, RANKL has have been implicated as an important link between breast cancer and metastasis to bone because of their ability to activate intracellular signal ...
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 ...
Immunomodulatory effects of lactic acid bacteria on human intestinal epithelial cells and macrophages in the context of a pro-inflammatory challenge
(2009-09-01)
Immunomodulatory effects of lactic acid bacteria vary with strain and may
vary with growth phase and medium. The ability of different lactobacilli
strains (Lactobacillus helveticus R0052, L. rhamnosus R0011, L.
rhamnosus ...
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 ...
Immunomodulatory effects of dietary fibre supplementation: effects on cytokine and antibody production and lymphocyte population profiles
(2009-08-01)
Gastrointestinal microflora has been shown to have a bi-directional relationship with the host immune system. A variety of fermentable carbohydrate polymers largely pass through the small intestine, providing fermentable ...
Biochemical alteration of gravesoils between season and soil type
(2009-07-01)
Decomposition chemistry refers to the biochemical degradation processes which occur in soft tissue as decomposition proceeds. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the release of decomposition fluids into ...
Characterization of a novel cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor, CBI28, in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2010-05-01)
To study the underlying mechanisms for microbial cellulose biosythesis, a novel compound, CBI28, was used as an inhibitor along with classical genetics and EMS mutagenesis. An EZ-Link Biotin Hydrazide Kit was used to create ...
