Examining effects of milk ferment components on endothelial cell signaling in pro-inflammatory pathways
(2015-08-01)
Atherosclerosis is a complex, multifactorial, inflammatory disease involving cholesterol, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, macrophages and platelets. Atherosclerosis, and the associated cardiovascular diseases it ...
Genetic analysis of cellulose crystallization in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2015-08-01)
In nature, polysaccharides, such as cellulose, are important biopolymers involved in numerous biological functions including prevention of cellular desiccation, energy storage, osmoregulation, and cell wall formation. Apart ...
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 ...
An investigation of land-use impacts on water quality and phytoplankton communities of the Vermilion River and major tributaries, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
(2015-12-01)
The Vermilion River and major tributaries (VRMT) receive numerous inputs from point and non-point sources along their continuum. In addition to these inputs from the surrounding landscape, a hydroelectric impoundment and ...
A low-fidelity serious game authoring tool and educational network to facilitate medical-based cultural competence education
(2015-12-01)
Here I present Fydlyty, a web-based, low-fidelity serious game for medical-based cultural competence education and training. Fydlyty includes a scenario editor and dialogue editor which has the ability to build conversations, ...
Faulty node repair and dynamically spawned black hole search in clouds
(2015-03-01)
The reality of the constant emergence of new threats justifies the necessity to protect
network assets and mitigate the risks associated with attacks. In this context, eliminating faulty network entities in the distributed ...
Electrophysiological responses of Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to active volatile organic compounds released by human and pig decomposition
(2015-11-01)
Forensic entomology is an important discipline which utilizes the developmental and behavioural patterns of insects which colonize decomposing tissue in a medicolegal context, most commonly to determine the post-mortem ...
Towards parallax-based unencumbered displays
(2015-01-01)
We present an analysis of content adaptive parallax barriers used for multi-layer unencumbered displays. We explain the techniques involved in detail from the input light field to the output masks and how to display them. ...
First steps toward the construction of a channel cell for electrochemical studies under hydrothermal conditions
(2015-08-01)
The high-T,p channel flow cell (HT-CFC) for electrochemical studies under hydrothermal conditions would allow to investigate at a fundamental level the interaction between new materials and media conditions such those found ...
Augmenting free-form annotations with digital metadata for close reading of poetry
(2015-12-01)
Many people, literary critics in particular, practice close reading, making annotations by hand while performing a detailed analysis of a text. Current digital tools for literary criticism,however, have many limitations ...
