Cloning and characterization of AdeMNO RND efflux pump of Acinetobacter baumannii
(2010-11-01)
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen which has been implicated in a variety of nosocomial infections among immunocompromised patients worldwide. Recently, Multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates of A. baumannii ...
Molecular characterization of the binding site of nematode GABA-A receptors
(2010-08-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled in large part by
nematocidal drugs that target receptors of the parasitic nervous system. Hco-UNC-49 is a
nematode GABA receptor that has a relatively low ...
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 Pharmacological Characterization of Hco-UNC-49, a GABA-gated Chloride Channel from the Parasitic Nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2010-08-01)
Compared to mammals, nematodes appear to exhibit a unique GABAergic nervous system. Haemonchus controtus is a parasitic nematode that infects ruminants worldwide. Hco-UNC-49 is a H. contortus GABA-gated chloride channel ...
Optimization algorithms in compressive sensing (CS) sparse magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
(2010-06-01)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an essential instrument in clinical diag-
nosis; however, it is burdened by a slow data acquisition process due to physical
limitations. Compressive Sensing (CS) is a recently developed ...
Effects of soy and milk ferments on measures of innate immunity: a comparison of effects in normal and microgravity conditions
(2010-07-01)
Probiotics can influence intestinal responses and mucosal immunity either directly or indirectly through transient modulation of the endogenous microenvironment or the immune system. During space travel, astronauts experience ...
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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured catalysts for photovoltaic applications
(2013-07-01)
The objective of this project was to investigate the effect of the morphology of titanium
dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on the electron transport properties and light harvesting potential in
a dye sensitized solar cell ...
Effects of chronic exposure to ibuprofen and naproxen on Florida flagfish (Jordanella floridae) over one complete life-cycle
(2011-08-01)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of drugs prescribed to relieve pain, fever and inflammation, and are among the most commonly consumed medications in Ontario. Approximately 70% of the ingested dose ...
