Fall 2010
A 9.4 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system was used to evaluate the response of a human tumour xenograft model to radiation therapy. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the transverse relaxation time (T2) of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumour xenografts in NIH-iii nude mice...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress induction by an endogenous retrovirus glycoprotein during neuroinflammation: regulation by a free radical scavenger
DownloadFall 2010
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a homeostatic mechanism, which is utilized by cells to adapt to inter- and intra-cellular changes. There is a burgeoning literature showing that the human endogenous retroviral envelope glycoprotein, Syncyin-1, oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species...

Microstructure-property correlation in magnesium-based hydrogen storage systems- The case for ball-milled magnesium hydride powder and Mg-based multilayered composites
DownloadSpring 2011
The main focus of this thesis is the characterization of defects and microstructure in high-energy ball milled magnesium hydride powder and magnesium-based multilayered composites. Enhancement in kinetics of hydrogen cycling in magnesium can be achieved by applying severe plastic deformation. A...

The mechanism of action of cidofovir and (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenine against viral polymerases
DownloadFall 2009
The nucleoside phosphonates cidofovir (CDV) and (S)-9-[3-hydroxy-(2-phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine [(S)-HPMPA] are analogs of dCMP and dAMP, respectively. Collectively these drugs are effective inhibitors of a wide range of DNA viruses, RNA viruses, and retroviruses. Because they are nucleotide...
