The spectrum of storage devices has expanded dramatically in the last several years with the increasing popularity of NAND flash memory. While hard drives hold on to the capacity advantage, flash based solid-state drives (SSD) with high IOPS and low latencies have become good candidates for...
Abstract of ThesisThe Cytotoxic Effect of Methylglyoxal on Yeast Cell GrowthMethylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive, cytotoxic dicarbonyl compound, mainly formed as a by-product of glycolysis. It is one of the most potent glycating agents and readily reacts with proteins, lipids and nucleic acids...
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an inherited motor neuron disease caused by the expansion of the polyglutamine tract of the androgen receptor (AR) gene. Affected individuals develop slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness, muscle atrophy and fasciculations due to a mechanism of...
The use of ejectors in distillation type water desalination systems is well known. However the energy efficiency of such systems is limited by the mechanical energy dissipation in the ejector. Conventional ejectors have been limited in their performance due to the dissipative mechanism of...
Search for Triple Negative Breast Cancer SignatureAbstractBackground: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive form of breast cancer in women, commonly found in younger population, is characterized by the loss of Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα), Progesterone Receptor (PR) and Human...
Mobile robot localization is fundamental to the development of more proficient robots capable of operating in complex, unstructured environments. However, many environments in which mobile robots are operating may be devoid of the static landmark and/or lack geometric primitives required for...
Inducible Co-stimulator (ICOS) molecule is a member of the CD28 family of co-stimulatory molecules expressed on T cells. Previous studies demonstrate an important role for ICOS signaling in sustaining optimal numbers of T follicular helper (TFH) cells, a specialized T helper cell subset known for...
Human immunodeficiency virus is the foremost cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The current treatments do not focus on how in latent cells, the virus could still mutate. A drug resistant virus within the host will eventually lead to AIDS. Researchers must gain an appreciation of how...
The goal of this research was to examine the quality of questionnaires of innovation models. This inquiry is important because acceptance rates of innovations are measured by innovation acceptance models, and the quality of questionnaires of innovation acceptance models affects the reliability of...
Background: Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1), a master dual co-regulatory protein is found to be an integral part of NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Histone Deacetylation) complex, which has indispensable transcriptional regulatory functions via histone deacetylation and chromatin...
