Synthesis of internal amide bond short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and investigation of their gene silencing properties
(2012-10-01)
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for around 13% of all death [1]. Traditional cancer therapeutics usually require careful selection of one or more intervention, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and ...
Characterization of xylan degradation systems in streptomyces
(2012-07-01)
Plant biomass serves as a carbon and energy source for Streptomyces spp. which
secrete degradative enzymes capable of breaking down the complex plant biomass into
simple saccharides. Hemicellulose is a major component of ...
Arthropod successionin Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and compared development of protophormia terraenovae (R. -D.) from Beringia and the Great Lakes Region
(2012-07-01)
Forensic medicocriminal entomology is used in the estimation of post-mortem intervals in death investigations, by means of arthropod succession patterns and the development rates of individual insect species. The purpose ...
Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana cellulose synthase proteins and associated proteins in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line
(2012-10-01)
Understanding how cellulose synthesis occurs is key to understanding the
formation of the plant cell wall. This understanding could also be key to modifying
cellulose production to permit more efficient extraction of ...
A variational approach to mapping: an exploration of map representation for SLAM
(2012-07-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are used
by autonomous robots to build or update maps of an environment while
maintaining their position simultaneously. A fundamental open problem
in SLAM is the e ...
Total knee replacement serious game for surgical education and training
(2012-08-01)
Traditionally, orthopaedic surgical training has primarily taken place in the
operating room. Given the growing trend of decreasing resident work hours in
North America and globally due to political mandate, training time ...
Exploring entities in text with descriptive non-photorealistic rendering
(2012-12-01)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic
rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents
to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Self-healing solutions for LTE evolved packet core
(2012-10-01)
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is considered as a dominant future cellular wireless
technology in terms of performance and user experience. With technological advancement of the
wireless networks, dependencies and ...
Mobility modeling and topology prediction in cognitive mobile networks
(2012-07-01)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a non-intrusive connectivity visualization method for
OLSR-based MANET topology in different mobility models. The visualization relies on the local
topology databases (neighborhood ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2012-09-01)
We present a three-dimensional, forward model of blood droplets in
ight. The proposed
model is based on a set of ordinary di erential equations (ODEs) incorporating viscous
drag and gravitational forces. We validate the ...
