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 ...
Characterization of OmpT: An outer membrane vesicle protease Escherichia coli that attenuates blood coagulation.
(2013-08-01)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an emerging food-borne and water-borne pathogen that belongs to
Enterohemorrhaghic pathogenic group of bacteria. E. coli O157:H7 colonizes the gastrointestinal
tract and is responsible for ...
A location privacy model and framework for mobile toy computing
(2015-08-01)
Many toys on the market are becoming integrated with the sensory and networking capabilities of mobile technology. Toy computing is an emerging area of research with the characteristics of physical computing, services ...
Characterization of carbon nanotubes grown by chemical vapour deposition
(2009-08-01)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), discovered by Ijima in 1991, are one of the allotropes of carbon, and can be described as cylinders of graphene sheet capped by hemifullerenes.
CNTs have excellent electrical, mechanical, thermal ...
Chronic effects of single intra-peritoneal injection of endosulfan on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and field observations of caged rainbow in Oshawa Creek
(2009-08-01)
The organochlorine pesticide endosulfan has been shown to be highly toxic to fish
and there is some evidence to support that it may act as an endocrine disrupting chemical.
Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were ...
Understanding and predicting method-level source code changes using commit history data
(2016-10-01)
Software development and software maintenance require a large amount of source
code changes to be made to a software repositories. Any change to a repository can
introduce new resource needs which will cost more time and ...
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 ...
Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2009-08-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides
which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc-
49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride ...
