Synthetic Methodologies And Characterization Of Small Molecules And Polymers For Surface Modification
(2015-05-24)A major problem of naval vessels is the surface fouling caused by marine organisms on any surface exposed to the marine environment. Biofouling leads to increased weight, drag, and noise when ships are underway creating ... -
Synthetic Pathways to Mesostructured Superconductors: Quantum Materials from Block Copolymer Self-Assembly
(2018-12-30)The ability to precisely control the properties of materials using atomic structure developed over the last 50 years directly led to the high-performance semiconductor based devices that have revolutionized modern life. ... -
Synthetic Polysaccharide-Mediated Biomimetic Syntheses Of Inorganic Materials
(2009-10-13)Despite the importance of polysaccharides in biomineralization, their specific roles are not well understood and they have received very little attention in studies of biomimetic mineralization and the synthesis of biomimetic ... -
System Identification Of Dynamical Models For Signals Related To The Human Use Of Ethanol
(2014-08-18)The influence of genetics on the risk for alcoholism is a major theme in alcoholism research. Genetic research depends on phenotyping. However, accurate phenotyping of human use of alcohol is difficult. What are essentially ... -
System performance under multihazard environment
(2008-01-04)Natural hazards such as earthquakes, tropical and extratropical storms, tornadoes, floods and droughts are known for their destructive impacts on life, economy and environment. Although it is not possible to completely ... -
SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO CHARACTERIZE AND DEVELOP A CELL FREE GLYCOPROTEIN REMODELING PLATFORM
(2018-12-30)Glycosylation has profound impacts in many biological processes, such as immune response, inflammation, cell- cell communication, and host- pathogen interaction. The importance of glycosylation is further accentuated as ... -
Systematic Effects of Local Large Scale Structure on the Measured Expansion History of the Universe
(2007-06-25)We discuss some of the ways that local cosmological inhomogeneity has been found to affect our interpretation of the measurements of the redshifts and luminosity distances of Type Ia supernovae, so that we may ask: Can a ... -
Systematic evaluation and analysis system for yield control in large cheese factories
(2017-08-30)A system for evaluation of cheese yield, fat recovery, and compositional control for use in large cheddar cheese factories was developed. The manufacturing performance system was evaluated in large commercial factories and ... -
SYSTEMATICS AND REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF Tacca J.R. Forst. & G. Forst.
(2018-05-30)The genus Tacca comprises an enigmatic group of tropical perennial acaulescent herbs. These plants are characterized by unique bracteate reproductive displays, which have excited interest in their reproductive biology. ... -
Systematics Of Antigonon And Tropical Eriogonoideae: Phylogeny, Taxonomy, And Invasion Biology
(2011-05-31)The genera of Polygonaceae have historically been segregated into two subfamilies, Eriogonoideae and Polygonoideae, based on a few key morphological characters. Using ITS, morphology and five chloroplast markers, a phylogeny ... -
The Systematics Of Dombeya Cav. And Its Near Relatives (Dombeyaceae)
(2010-10-20)The species-rich and morphologically diverse genus Dombeya Cav. (Dombeyaceae) is a spectacular example of the remarkable diversity of the biota of Madagascar where evolution has followed a unique trajectory. Like other ... -
The Systematics Of Lithospermum L. (Boraginaceae) And The Evolution Of Heterostyly
(2010-10-20)Lithospermum L. (Boraginaceae) includes ca. 60 species. The genus has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution, being native to all continents except Australia and Antarctica. The center of diversity for the genus is Mexico and ... -
Systematics Of Prunus Subgenus Amygdalus Monograph And Phylogeny
(2010-04-09)Almonds (Prunus dulcis) and peaches (Prunus persica), two of the most economically important fruit crops in subtropical and temperate climates, are members of the genus Prunus L. subgenus Amygdalus L. Previous hypotheses ... -
SYSTEMATICS, MODE OF SPECIATION, AND MODELS OF PHYLETIC CHANGE IN PALEOGENE-EOCENE †ATHLETA (VOLUTOSPINA) FROM THE U.S. GULF COASTAL PLAIN, HAMPSHIRE BASIN OF ENGLAND, AND PARIS BASIN OF FRANCE
(2017-12-30)In this study I document speciation modes across a clade of 23 Paleocene-Eocene †Athleta (Volutospina) gastropods, and phyletic models of evolution exhibited by five lineages. I first review the alpha taxonomy of †Athleta ... -
Systems Analysis Of Core Architectures Regulating Cellular Responses Under Stress In Eukaryotes
(2012-01-31)Eukaryotes have developed evolutionarily conserved mechanisms to respond to diverse ranges of internal and external perturbations e.g., changes in oxygen/nutrient levels, temperature oscillations, protein folding load, ... -
Systems Bioengineering: Modeling Angiogenesis and Mapping the Gene Therapy Industry
(2019-05-30)In this dissertation, I recount my contributions to the emerging discipline of systems bioengineering in two contexts: expanding our ability to simulate the biomolecular circuitry underlying blood vessel growth; and ... -
Systems Biology Of Thermotoga Neapolitana For Biological Hydrogen Production
(2010-10-20)The hyperthermophile Thermotoga neapolitana was evaluated for hydrogen production in three phases of iterative experimental and computational modeling work. First, the effect of environmental perturbations and fermentation ... -
Systems Thinking
(2006-04-21)This research set out to clarify the construct of systems thinking and to define it as a conceptual framework apart from systems science, systems theory, systems methods, and other perceived synonyms. Greater clarity in ... -
T CELL RECEPTOR SIGNAL STRENGTH AND ANTIGEN AFFINITY DIFFERENTIALLY REGULATE CD8+ MEMORY T CELL DEVELOPMENT
(2020-05)CD8+ T cells play a critical role in adaptive immunity by maintaining the ability to differentiate into CD8+ memory T cells, which provide the basis of protective immunity. During an intracellular infection, CD8+ T cells ...
