The 1,000 plants (1KP) project is an international multi-disciplinary consortium that has generated transcriptome data from over 1,000 plant species, with exemplars for all of the major lineages across the Viridiplantae (green plants) clade. Here, we describe how to access the data used in a...

Design and performance evaluation of vertical shafts: rational shaft design method and verification of design method
Download1988
Ground deformations around axisymmetric shafts cannot be determined with the design approaches currently available, which are mostly based on plasticity methods. The convergence–confinement method (usually applied to tunnels), with consideration of gravitational effects and the three-dimensional...

Klassen, John S., Han, Ling, Kitova, Elena N.
This study reports on the use of the catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CaR-ESI-MS) assay, combined with glycomicelles, as a method for detecting specific interactions between water-soluble proteins and glycolipids (GLs) in aqueous solution. The B subunit homopentamers...

Development and Analysis of Magnetic Carbon Nanotube and Microbubble-Assisted High Centrifugation Field Techniques For The Increase of Cell Membrane Permeability
DownloadSpring 2014
To cure diseases at the gene level, therapeutic biomaterials need to enter the cells. However, since the cell membrane is a highly selective structure, its permeability is usually very low. In this thesis, we propose two innovative and efficient methods to increase cell membrane permeability....

Development and use of a gnotobiotic murine model for beef cattle to evaluate competitive exclusion of Escherichia coli O157:H7 using commensal Escherichia coli strains, and to ascertain the impact of physiological stress on the host-bacteria interaction
DownloadFall 2020
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotype O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen, and cattle are considered the primary reservoir of this bacterium. Research was undertaken to ascertain factors that regulate competitive exclusion of E. coli O157:H7. A gnotobiotic (GB) murine model...

Vine, Donna F., Jacobs, Rene, Pierce, W.D., Heth, C.D., Russell, Jim, Proctor, Spencer D., Borthwick, Faye, Nelson, Randy, Diane, Abdoulaye, Mangat, Rabban
Background: Childhood obesity is an important early predictor of adult obesity and associated comorbidities. Common forms of obesity are underpinned by both environmental and genetic factors. However, the rising prevalence of obesity in genetically stable populations strongly suggests that...

Fall 2020
Early life exposure to stress can have life-long effects on an organism. These effects may be detrimental, or they may be adaptive if they allow the organism to develop an adult phenotype which better matches the environment predicted by the stressor. Early life stress influences many traits,...

Effect of Laying Hen Housing Environment and Genetic Strain on Meat Quality and Skeletal Muscle Physicochemical Properties
DownloadFall 2016
Skeletal muscle is an adaptable, multi-faceted tissue that is essential for whole body movement and metabolism. When a production animal is slaughtered, its muscle goes through complex physical and biochemical changes including a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism resulting in the...
