The toxicity of Harmony Landfill Leachate to Green Hydra (Hydra viridiisma)
(2010-08-01)
Harmony Landfill is a former industrial waste disposal site located adjacent to Harmony Creek in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. During active disposal, from 1957 until 1980, approximately 1 million tonnes of waste were land-filled ...
Physical and chemical analysis of pig carcass decomposition in a fine sand
(2010-08-01)
The development and improvement of methods used for the estimation of the
postmortem interval (PMI) is a common area of research in forensic science. This
research was conducted to physically and chemically analyze pig ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A survey of algebraic algorithms in computerized tomography
(2010-08-01)
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging framework. It takes measured
projections of X-rays through two-dimensional cross-sections of an object from
multiple angles and incorporates algorithms in building a ...
Enhancing geothermal heat pump systems with parametric performance analyses
(2010-04-01)
Parametric performance analyses and comparison of a basic geothermal heat pump, a heat pump cycle with motor cooling/refrigerant preheating, and a heat pump cycle utilizing an economizer with respect to first law is conducted ...
Thermochemical energy storage systems: modelling, analysis and design
(2010-07-01)
Thermal energy storage (TES) is an advanced technology for storing thermal energy
that can mitigate environmental impacts and facilitate more efficient and clean energy
systems. Thermochemical TES is an emerging method ...
