Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
(2014-08-01)
Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however
the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this
study, the decomposition process was compared between ...
Forward genetic analysis of cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor resistance and wall hydrolysis sensitivity.
(2014-09-01)
The functional analysis of components involved in cellulose biosynthesis is central in
understanding cell wall assembly and structure in plants. We conducted screens using the
herbicides, isoxaben and flupoxam which inhibit ...
Secure and privacy-preserving fog-assisted vehicular crowdsensing
(2018-08-01)
Vehicular crowdsensing (VCS) is an emerging paradigm where vehicles use onboard sensors to collect and share data with the aim of measuring phenomena of common interest. VCS has allowed for automated control as well as ...
Impact of neck muscle fatigue on upper limb sensorimotor integration
(2019-08-01)
Neck muscles have a high density of sensory receptors which project to the central nervous system, and have important role in sensory motor integration (SMI). The cerebellum is important for SMI and it is known to undergo ...
Nanostructured materials for photovoltaics and microwave electronics: methods and applications
(2017-04-01)
Nanoscale particles and thin layers are today used for a variety of applications to make industrial products lighter, stronger or more conductive. This study investigates synthesis, characterization and application of ...
Synthesis and characterization of Pt/TiO2/C composite catalysts for fuel cells prepared using a glucose modifier
(2017-03-01)
Catalysts in the electrodes of polymer exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) serve a critical function in reactions which can be used to generate electrical energy from chemical fuels. Pt nanoparticles are commonly dispersed ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of siRNAs modified at the backbone with a novel triazole-based internucleotide linkage and abasic alkyl-chain linkages of varying length
(2013-04-01)
For over a decade, the use of double-stranded short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to silence the expression of genes associated with disease at the translational level has gained much attention. Using a highly conserved ...
Examining swim bladder inflation failure as a toxicological endpoint in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(2017-11-01)
Inadequate swim bladder inflation, while not being lethal itself, can have serious long-term effects on fish populations. Many environmental contaminants can inhibit swim bladder inflation of larval fish. Understanding how ...
The modification of fuel cell-based breath alcohol sensor materials to improve water retention of sensing performance
(2016-03-01)
Fuel cell based breath alcohol sensors (BrASs) are one of the most important tools used by law enforcement today. While these devices are used globally, they all suffer from a common deficiency: reliance on water. The ...
A deep learning approach to focal cortical dysplasia segmentation in children with medically intractable epilepsy
(2021-08-01)
Paediatric epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and has major impact on the cognition and quality of life of children. Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is one of the most common causes of medically ...
