Fall 2020
Despite their small size and apparent simplicity, viruses are capable of causing mass casualties, political turmoil, and global economic shut down. Due to their minimal genome (~10–12 kb), arboviruses such as Zika (ZIKV), Dengue (DENV), and Mayaro (MAYV) depend on many host molecules for...

Examination of the Regulation of Phosphorylation Events in Macrophage Adhesion and Response to Zymosan
DownloadFall 2012
Macrophages play a central role in innate immunity, most notably in tissue repair, phagocytosis of dead or infected cells, secretion of chemokine and cytokines at sites of infection, as well as the activation of other immune cells. These roles are highly dependent on their capacity to migrate...

Experimental Investigation on Interfacial and Surface Phenomena of Clathrate and Semi-clathrate Hydrates
DownloadFall 2023
Clathrate hydrates are compounds where guest molecules are trapped in cages formed between water molecules via hydrogen bonding. They have many promising applications, such as gas storage, energy storage, gas mixture separation and seawater desalination. They may also form inside the oil & gas...

Recently there has been great research interest in small soft particles because of their significance in both biology and industry. The term ‘particle’ here is defined as a deformable object with size in the range of nano- to micrometers. Many experimental efforts have been spent on investigating...

Nanoengineered and Biomimetic Protein-derived Adhesives with Improved Adhesion Strength and Water Resistance
DownloadSpring 2017
The oilseed industry generates a great deal of meal after oil extraction. Soy meal has a number of value added applications while canola meal is used mainly as a low-value animal feed. There is a growing interest on value addition of meal beyond feed uses. Canola and soy meal contain ~ 33-37% and...

Expression of the stress-regulated RNA helicase of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, CrhR, is altered by three known stresses, temperature, light and salt concentration. Here we show that altering the source of fixed nitrogen, either urea, ammonia, nitrate or lack of fixed nitrogen, also results in...
