Synthesis and in vitro assessment of chemically modified siRNAs targeting BCL2 that contain 2'-ribose and triazole-linked backbone modifications
(2015-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biomolecules used for post-transcriptional gene regulation, and therefore hold promise as a future therapeutic by silencing gene expression of overexpressed deleterious genes. Chemically ...
Investigation of an alternative sulfonated silane in ceramic carbon electrodes for fuel cell applications
(2015-09-01)
The fabrication of an ideal electrode material for fuel cell application that can maintain an
optimal water content in both low and high relative humidity (RH) conditions has been studied
by many research groups. Previous ...
Prototype development and testing of active yaw moment control system using vehicle momentum wheel
(2015-01-01)
Vehicle stability is the essential key to evade accidents and drive without harm. It is in actual an extremely dynamic and active research topic nowadays. Active yaw moment control to improve vehicle’s handling and stability ...
RoboBUG: a game-based approach to learning debugging techniques
(2015-03-01)
Debugging is the systematic process of finding and fixing errors in a computer program, and it is considered a critical skill that should be acquired early in a programmer's career. As an alternative to traditional approaches ...
Brønsted acid-catalyzed reaction of alkynyltrifluoroborates with acetals and ketals
(2015-04-01)
The synthesis of small molecules is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry for producing drugs or biologically active compounds. Specifically, the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds is of great importance in synthetic ...
Sex and seasonal variation in hippocampal volume and neurogenesis in the eastern chipmunk, Tamias striatus
(2015-07-01)
The hippocampus (HPC) is important in spatial memory and navigation and also exhibits adult neurogenesis. In wild-living species, HPC volume and neurogenesis have been found to differ between the sexes and vary seasonally ...
Structure guided image restoration : a deep learning approach
(2019-05-01)
Image restoration aims at recovery of degraded images and estimating the original. Over the past few years, computer vision research has been dominated by deep learning techniques in part due to advances in computing ...
Characterization and transcriptomic profiling of Arabidopsis thaliana under cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor treatment
(2018-08-01)
Cellulose is one of the most important components of plant cell walls for industry and plant development. Screening mutants resistant to chemicals that conditionally inhibit cellulose synthesis, known as cellulose biosynthesis ...
The effects of stereoscopic 3D on an incidence response training game
(2013-08-01)
A critical incident is defined as one of the most serious situations that
can occur at any institution. Among these critical incidents are fire
hazards, which resulted in 224 civilian deaths, and approximately 1.5$
billion ...
Scalable immersive audio for virtual environments
(2018-05-01)
This thesis discusses the history of game sound and how it developed to become increasingly more immersive and realistic by accounting for the spatial aspects of sound. It then compares several 3D sound technologies before ...
