Characterizing steam penetration through thermal protective fabric materials
(MDPI, 2015-01-01)
This study performs an analysis of steam penetration through thermal protective fabric materials. Different, multilayered thermal protective fabrics were selected and tested in a laboratory-simulated steam exposure, and ...
Fuzzy case-based reasoning system
(MDPI, 2016-06-29)
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy case-based reasoning system, using a case-based reasoning (CBR) system that learns from experience to solve problems. Different from a traditional case-based reasoning system that uses ...
Creating a campus-wide research data services committee: The good, the bad, and the... - Part 1: Building bridges and planting seeds
(Association of Information Science and Technology, 2016)
A panel of presenters in this two-part webinar series shared their experiences about how academic libraries are taking the lead in developing cross-campus collaborations in establishing research data committees to spearhead ...
High throughput profiling of the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera immunotranscriptome during the fungal and bacterial infections
(BioMed Central, 2015-04-18)
Background: Innate immunity is essential in defending against invading pathogens in invertebrates. The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is one of the most destructive lepidopteran pests, which causes enormous ...
Genome-wide identification of the Phaseolus vulgaris sRNAome using small RNA and degradome sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2015-06-02)
Background: MiRNAs and phasiRNAs are negative regulators of gene expression. These small RNAs have been extensively studied in plant model species but only 10 mature microRNAs are present in miRBase version 21, the most ...
Combination of methoprene and controlled aeration to manage insects in stored wheat
(MDPI, 2016-06-17)
A commercial formulation of the insect growth regulator methoprene was applied to wheat stored in small bins either alone or in combination with controlled aeration of the bins, to lower grain temperature for insect pest ...
Subolesin expression in response to pathogen infection in ticks
(BioMed Central, 2010-02-19)
Background: Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are vectors of pathogens worldwide that cause diseases in humans and animals. Ticks and pathogens have co-evolved molecular mechanisms that contribute to their mutual development and ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency in terahertz plasmonic metamaterials via dual excitation pathways of the dark mode
(AIP Publishing, 2012-03-26)
We observe the excitation and tuning of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) by the interference between different excitation pathways of the dark mode in a planar terahertz metamaterial. The EIT unit cell consists ...
Arhodomonas sp. strain Seminole and its genetic potential to degrade aromatic compounds under high-salinity conditions
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-11)
Arhodomonas sp. strain Seminole was isolated from a crude oil-impacted brine soil and shown to degrade benzene, toluene, phenol, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), protocatechuic acid (PCA), and phenylacetic acid (PAA) as the ...
