Interaction of Metal Ions with the Polyanionic Gram-Positive Cell Wall and the Effect of Antimicrobial Cationic Branched Polyethyleneimine on Metal Binding
(2014-12)
Metal binding is a known characteristic of the bacterial cell wall. Yet, the binding mechanisms and affinity constants are not fully understood. The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is characterized by a thick layer of ...
Exploiting Heterogeneous Multicore Processors Through Fine-Grained Scheduling and Low-Overhead Thread Migration
(2012)
Heterogeneous (also known as asymmetric) multicore processors (HMPs) offer significant advantages over homogeneous multicores in terms of both power and performance. Power-efficient cores can be paired with higher-performance ...

A LABORATORY INVESTIGATION AND MODELING OF DYNAMIC MODULUS OF ASPHALT MIXES FOR PAVEMENT APPLICATIONS
(2011)
Traditionally, stiffness of hot mix asphalt (HMA) has been used as a measure of the pavement's ability to carry vehicular traffic loads without undergoing excessive deformation. Early deterioration of pavements due to ...
Biophysical mechanisms for the generation of electrosensory and communication signal in the weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens
(2018-05-03)
The weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens generates electric organ discharges (EODs) to navigate and communicate. The EODs are brief monophasic voltage pulses with brief inter-pulse intervals, resulting in a sinusoidal ...
Multi-scale effects of habitat alteration on stream fishes: from genotypes to communities
(2011)
Understanding how evolutionary and ecological processes interact with altered habitats at these various scales will be a major challenge to conservation biologists in the coming decades, and will be crucial for predicting ...
Multiple Real-Constant Multiplication for Computationally Efficient Implementation of Digital Transforms
(2012)
The need to multiply signals by vectors (or matrices) of constants is fundamental and frequently arises in many areas of electrical and computer engineering.
