Polymer translocation: a nonequilibrium process
(2017-04-07)
3D Langevin dynamics simulations of the capture and translocation of polymers
through a nanopore are conducted for several polymer lengths and two
different Péclet values (that quantify the drift-diffusion balance of the ...
Adaptive learning game to personalize occupational health and safety training
(2017-11-01)
In 2012, the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada recorded approximately a quarter-million workplace injuries, a staggering figure keeping in mind that some incidents go undocumented. It is important that ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of chemically modified siRNAs that contain internal azobenzene derivative spacers for selective and tunable photocontrol of activity
(2017-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biopolymers that are used as post-transcriptional gene regulators and as a natural endogenous defense against attack from viruses. These molecules hold a great deal of interest as ...
Genetic sun shadow positioning model for digital forensics
(2017-11-07)
Extensively growing a set of methodologies to collect, provide, and analyze geoinformation in this decade. While due to the privacy concerns or elevated consideration, only less than half of videos and pictures bring ...
Isolation and partial characterization of three acetylcholine-gated chloride channels in Haemonchus contortus
(2017-01-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health due to the parasite’s blood-feeding nature. The ability to manage infection has been confounded by the rapid development of ...
Data curation with ontology functional dependences
(2017-04-01)
Poor data quality has become a pervasive issue due to the increasing complexity and size of modern datasets. Functional
dependencies have been used in existing cleaning solutions to model syntactic equivalence. They are ...
An examination of interacting residues in the GABA-gated ion channel UNC-49 within the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2017-10-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a blood-feeding parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals around the world, including those with significant economic importance such as cattle, sheep, and goats. UNC-49 is a GABA-gated ...
A coherent point drift algorithm for breast image registration via surface markers
(2017-03-01)
Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a reliable imaging tool for localization and
evaluation of lesions prior to breast conserving surgery (BCS). MR images typically will
be used to determine the size and location ...
Identifying lesions in paediatric epilepsy using morphometric and textural analysis of magnetic resonance images
(2017-12-01)
We develop an image processing pipeline on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences to identify features of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) in patients with MRIvisible FCD. We aim to use a computer-aided diagnosis system ...
Endothelial cell response to bioactive peptides and stiffened extracellular matrices: an investigation into atherogenic pathways
(2017-08-01)
Endothelial dysfunction is the initiating step in atherosclerosis and leads to cardiovascular disease outcomes. This dysfunction can be mitigated by cardioprotective signaling molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) which can ...
