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 ...
Viscoelastic properties of tablets from Osborne fractions, pentosans, flour and bread evaluated by creep tests
(De Gruyter Open, 2017)
Little attention has been given to the influence of non-gluten components on the viscoelastic properties of wheat flour dough, bread making process and their products. The aim of this study was to evaluate by creep tests ...
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 ...
Analysis of 67 RNA-seq datasets from various tissues at different stages of a model insect, Manduca sexta
(BioMed Central, 2017-10-17)
Background: Manduca sexta is a large lepidopteran insect widely used as a model to study biochemistry of insect physiological processes. As a part of its genome project, over 50 cDNA libraries have been analyzed to profile ...
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 ...
Whole genome sequencing-based detection of antimicrobial resistance and virulence in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica isolated from wildlife
(BioMed Central, 2017-11-21)
The aim of this study was to generate a reference set of Salmonella enterica genomes isolated from wildlife from the United States and to determine the antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profile of the isolates ...
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 ...
