Vaccination with recombinant Boophilus annulatus Bm86 ortholog protein, Ba86, protects cattle against B. annulatus and B. microplus infestations
(BioMed Central, 2009-03-31)
Background: The cattle ticks, Boophilus spp., affect cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to tick control. ...
Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of an endo-1,5-a-L-arabinanase from hyperthermophilic Thermotoga petrophila
(International Union of Crystallography, 2009)
The endo-1,5-[alpha]-L-arabinanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 43 are of great industrial interest for use in food technology, organic synthesis and biofuel production owing to their ability to catalyze the ...
Cloning of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis fimbrial protein SefA as a surface protein in Escherichia coli confers the ability to attach to eukaryotic cell lines
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-10)
The gene for the Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis fimbrial protein SefA was cloned into an Escherichia coli surface expression vector and confirmed by Western blot assay. E. coli clones expressing SefA attached to ...
In vivo trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled optical tomography of a transmissible venereal tumor model in the canine pelvic canal
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2009-05-01)
In vivo trans-rectal near-infrared (NIR) optical tomography was performed concurrently with, albeit reconstructed without spatial a prior of, trans-rectal ultrasound (US) on transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) developed as ...
Lessons from the prairie: Research at The Nature Conservancy's Tallgrass Prairie Preserve
(Oklahoma Academy of Science, 2009)
The purpose of this document is to summarize and explain the body of research accomplished at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve (TGPP) and to provide the history of the preserve. In addition to summarizing research, this ...
Solitonic behaviour in coupled multi atom-cavity systems
(IOP Publishing, 2009-01-30)
In view of current research effort on semiconducting photonic-crystal defect microcavities, we consider the dynamics of an array of coupled optical cavities, each containing an ensemble of qubits. By concentrating on the ...
Patch-based structural masking model with an application to compression
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009-04-13)
The ability of an image region to hide or mask a given target signal continues to play a key role in the design of numerous image processing and vision systems. However, current state-of-the-art models of visual masking ...
Directional growth of polypyrrole and polythiophene wires
(AIP Publishing, 2009-01-23)
This work establishes an innovative electrochemical approach to the template-free growth of conducting polypyrrole and polythiophene wires along predictable interelectrode paths up to 30 um in length. These wires have ...
Comparison of species richness estimates obtained using nearly complete fragments and simulated pyrosequencing-generated fragments in 16S rRNA gene-based environmental surveys
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-08)
Pyrosequencing-based 16S rRNA gene surveys are increasingly utilized to study highly diverse bacterial communities, with special emphasis on utilizing the large number of sequences obtained (tens to hundreds of thousands) ...
In vivo trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled near-infrared optical tomography of intact normal canine prostate
(World Scientific Publishing, 2009-07-01)
This is the first tomography-presentation of the optical properties of a normal canine prostate, in vivo, in its native intact environment in the pelvic canal. The imaging was performed by trans-rectal near-infrared (NIR) ...
