T cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped: mouse delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and mouse T cell-mediated rejection of renal allografts share common molecular mechanismsT cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped
DownloadFall 2011
Genome-wide gene expression analysis of diseases has revealed large-scale changes in the expression of thousands of genes (transcripts) representing biological processes. The processes that occur during T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts in mice and humans have been previously...

The biology and characterization of NOD-like receptors in goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) macrophages exposed to bacterial pathogens
DownloadSpring 2017
The recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is important for the initiation of the host defense against pathogens. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a family of PRRs that primarily detect the cytosolic PAMPs of the pathogens. The NLRs have...

The construction and use of bacterial DNA microarrays based on an optimized two-stage PCR strategy
Download2003
Li, H., Klahn, J., Galbraith, D.W., Deyholos, M., Sherman, L.A., Impson, L., Postier, B.L., Risinger, G., Andrews, H.L., Burnap, R.L., Pesta, D., Wang, H.L., Singh, A.
Background: DNA microarrays are a powerful tool with important applications such as global gene expression profiling. Construction of bacterial DNA microarrays from genomic sequence data using a two-stage PCR amplification approach for the production of arrayed DNA is attractive because it...

The effects of intermittent suckling protocols on reproductive performance in primiparous sows
DownloadFall 2017
In pig production, sow reproductive efficiency is a key contributor to breeding herd productivity. A major challenge in the implementation of alternative sow housing and piglet management systems is the maintenance of production efficiency. Conventionally, sows are only bred once they come into...

The Influence of EPS Conditioning Films on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion to Solid Surfaces
DownloadFall 2010
Bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces in aquatic environments is highly dependent on the surface properties of the substratum, which could be altered significantly by the formation of conditioning films. The impacts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and its several representative...

The mechanism of endothelial cell specific gene expression of Von Willebrand Factor in vivo
DownloadSpring 2010
In vivo analyses of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) promoter previously demonstrated that a fragment spanning sequences -487 to +247 targets promoter activation to brain vascular endothelial cells. This fragment is active in all embryonic vessels of transgenic mice but in adult mice its activity...

The role of water channel proteins in facilitating recovery of leaf hydraulic concutance from water stress in Populus trichocarpa
Download2014
Gas exchange is constrained by the whole-plant hydraulic conductance (Kplant). Leaves account for an important fraction of Kplant and may therefore represent a major determinant of plant productivity. Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) decreases with increasing water stress, which is due to xylem...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on the Use of Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors for Evaluating the Adhesion of SU-8 Thin Films
DownloadFall 2015
This research investigates the use of a SU-8/AlN/Si SAW sensor for evaluating the adhesion of SU-8 thin films. A theoretical model is developed to plot the wave dispersion profile for the SU-8/AlN/Si configuration. A spring interface model is utilized to represent the SU-8/AlN interface using a...

Fall 2020
In this thesis, the challenges involved with large-scale Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3-dimensional (3D) printing is explored through an industrial application in which a cantilever chair is produced as a case study. The chair is designed in SOLIDWORKS® in which easy variability and complex...
