The effects of annealing treatment on mechanical properties of nanocrystalline α-iron: an atomistic study
DownloadFall 2015
Nanocrystalline metallic materials demonstrate superior mechanical, optical, and electric properties. Claims are often found in the literature that metallic materials can be nanocrystallized by severe plastic deformation (SPD). However, SPD does not generate a well-defined nanocrystalline...

The Influence of Specific Ions and System Architecture on the Recognition and Reactivity of Two Charged Materials: DNA-Modified Gold Nanoparticle Aggregates and Planar Silica
DownloadFall 2014
DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNP–DNA) offer simple colorimetric nucleic acid sensing with high selectivity and sensitivity. Consequently, they are promising in genetic profiling, disease diagnostics, and forensic applications. In the presence of a target nucleic acid, GNP–DNA forms...

The isolation and characterization of two Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteriophages capable of cross-taxonomic order infectivity
Download2015
Lynch, Karlene H.Stothard, Paul, Peters, Danielle L., Dennis, Jonathan J.
Background A rapid worldwide increase in the number of human infections caused by the extremely antibiotic resistant bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is prompting alarm. One potential treatment solution to the current antibiotic resistance dilemma is “phage therapy”, the clinical...

The mitochondrial genome of the hexactinellid sponge Aphrocallistes vastus: Evidence for programmed translational frameshifting
Download2008
Rosengarten, R.D., Sperling, E.A., Leys, S.P., Dellaporta, S.L., Moreno, M.A.
Background: Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of numerous sponges have been sequenced as part of an ongoing effort to resolve the class-level phylogeny of the Porifera, as well as to place the various lower metazoan groups on the animal-kingdom tree. Most recently, the partial mtDNA of two glass...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most deleterious DNA lesions. Unrepaired or incorrectly repaired DSBs can lead to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, or over time, the accumulation of mutations and chromosomal abnormalities that give rise to cancer. The repair of DSBs by homologous...

Fall 2014
Developing a simple, general, and isothermal self-replicating system is one of the key requirements for a simplified detection platform for nucleic acid sequences specific to a disease causing microrganism. One of the challenges in achieving nucleic-acid templated isothermal amplification is that...

Using Biomolecular Recognition to Selectively Self-Assemble Microscale Components onto Patterned Substrates
DownloadSpring 2015
Modern nanofabrication technology in the 21st century has continued year after year to push the boundaries of what is possible at the nanoscale. With the advent of molecular electronics, single electron devices, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), and other nanotechnologies, the near future...

Liao, Xiaoping, Choi, Jung-Woo, Stothard, Paul, Basu, Urmila, Sumner-Thomson, Jennifer M., Meng, Yan, Moore, Stephen S.
Background One of the goals of livestock genomics research is to identify the genetic differences responsible for variation in phenotypic traits, particularly those of economic importance. Characterizing the genetic variation in livestock species is an important step towards linking genes or...
