Biosurfactants: Characterization, Microemulsion Formation and Potential Applications
(2009)
Biosurfactants, which are produced from microorganisms, have become of interest due to their non-toxic nature, their biodegradability and their production from renewable resources. Research has evaluated the use of ...
Spectrotemporal Dynamics of Neural Responses in Auditory Cortex During Frequency Discrimination
(2009)
Small differences in the frequencies of a sound provide a significant amount of information about the identity, position, and motion of the source. Humans' auditory frequency discrimination ability also allows us to ...
VIRAL ECOGENOMICS - MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF A COSTA RICAN PLANT RNA VIRAL COMMUNITY
(2009)
RNA virus metagenome data characterization provides an unbiased picture of RNA viruses in natural environment. To test the hypothesis that plant viral infections are relatively specific for the viral-host interaction and ...
MODIFICATION OF THE SMALL INTESTINAL SUBMUCOSA USING PLGA NANOPARTICLES FOR ENHANCED TISSUE REGENERATION: FROM IN VITRO TO IN VIVO MODELS
(2009)
Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) derived from porcine small intestine has been intensively studied for its capacity in repairing and regenerating wounded and dysfunctional tissues. However, SIS suffers from a large spectrum ...
NEW METHODS AND NEW PARADIGM TO DESIGN SENSOR NETWORKS FOR PROCESS PLANTS
(2009)
Due to economic reason, not every process variable can be measured by a sensor. The problem of optimum selection of sensor location is referred to as sensor network design problem (SNDP).
STRUCTURE-FUNCTION ANALYSIS OF HUMAN ONCOSTATIN M
(2009)
Oncostatin M (OSM) is a pleiotropic cytokine that belongs to the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines. These cytokines play crucial role in diverse biological events like inflammation, neuroprotection, hematopoiesis, ...

(2009)
Biosurfactants, which are produced from microorganisms, have become of interest due to their non-toxic nature, their biodegradability and their production from renewable resources. Research has evaluated the use of ...
Turbulent heat transport in plane channel flow and plane Couette flow using direct numerical simulation in conjunction with Lagrangian scalar tracking
(2009)
Turbulent flows in plane channel and plane Couette are investigated using a direct numerical simulation in conjunction with Lagrangian scalar tracking of trajectories of thermal markers. The flow is for an incompressible ...
MOLECULAR ENGINEERING STRATEGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FUELS FROM CONVENTIONAL AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES
(2009)
The combination of Quantitative Structure Property Relationships (QSPR) with experimental studies using model compounds provides great promise for fuel upgrading. Through this approach, QSPR software is utilized to predict ...
Advanced Optimization Tools for the Design and Retrofit of Process Plants Water Networks
(2009)
Water is extensively used in industry and due to its increasing cost and the continuous quality deterioration of the available freshwater sources; its use is becoming also a cost concern in industries. An alternative to ...
