Klassen, John S., Campuzano, Iain D. G., Bagal, Dhanashri, Privé, Gilbert G., Kitova, Elena N., Xiong, Zi Jian, Richards, Michele R., Li, Jun
Saposin A (SapA) lipoprotein discs, also known as picodiscs (PDs), represent an attractive method to solubilize glycolipids for protein interaction studies in aqueous solution. Recent electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data suggest that the size and composition of...

Characterizing vegetation structural and topographic characteristics sampled by eddy covariance within two mature aspen stands using lidar and a flux footprint model: Scaling to MODIS
Download2011
Kljun, N., Hopkinson, C., Giroux, K., Petrone, R., Chasmer, L., Milne, T., Devito, K., Creed, I., Barr, A.
In this study, a Boolean classification was applied using novel methods to 3-D vegetation structural and topographic attributes found within flux footprint source/sink areas measured by eddy covariance instrumentation. The purpose was to determine if the spatial frequency of 3-D attributes, such...

Charged particle behavior in the growth and damping stages of ultralow frequency waves: Theory and Van Allen Probes observations
Download2016
Wygant, John R., Zong, Qui-Gang, Kletzing, Craig A., Blake, J. Bernard, Kivelson, Margaret G., Zhou, Xuzhi, Chen, Xing-Ran, Rankin, Robert, Wang, Zi-Han
Ultralow frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves in Earth's magnetosphere can accelerate charged particles via a process called drift resonance. In the conventional drift resonance theory, a default assumption is that the wave growth rate is time independent, positive, and extremely small. However,...

Chemical modification, characterization, and application of chicken feathers as novel biosorbents
Download2013
Ullah, Aman, Khosa, Muhammad A., Wu, Jianping
The current work exclusively pertains to preparing arsenic removing biosorbents using chicken feathers (CF) as a raw material. CF consist of keratinous proteins with many functional groups, and this paper contributes to the debate on how functional groups, especially –COOH, –NH2 and –S–S–,...

Chemical similarity between historical and novel host plants promotes range and host expansion of the mountain pine beetle in a naïve host ecosystem

Evenden, Maya, Shan, Bin, Ma, Cary, Najar, Ahmed, Erbilgin, Nadir, Whitehouse, Caroline
Host plant secondary chemistry can have cascading impacts on host and range expansion of herbivorous insect populations. We investigated the role of host secondary compounds on pheromone production by themountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) (MPB) and beetle attraction in response to a...

Koleva, Petya, Ketabi, Ali, Dieleman, Levinus A., Gänzle, Michael G., Valcheva, Rosica
Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) were shown to reduce inflammation in experimental colitis, but it remains unclear whether microbiota changes mediate their colitis-modulating effects. This study assessed intestinal microbiota and intestinal inflammation after feeding chemically defined...
