Digital holographic microscopy of the myelin figure structural dynamics and the effect of thermal gradient
(Optical Society of America, 2013-05-24)
Myelin figures (MFs) are cylindrical multilamellar lipid tubes that can be found in various healthy and diseased living cells. Their formation and dynamics involve some of the most mysterious configurations that lipid ...
Genome of the long-living sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-10)
Background: Sacred lotus is a basal eudicot with agricultural, medicinal, cultural and religious importance. It was domesticated in Asia about 7,000 years ago, and cultivated for its rhizomes and seeds as a food crop. It ...
To make place is to first understand place
(2013-07-01)
The typical beginning design student enters a School of Architecture, with the dream of becoming an architect, having never given much critical thought to the spaces they inhabit. How do we increase their awareness of the ...
Large enhancement of Forster resonance energy transfer on graphene platforms
(AIP Publishing, 2013-12-12)
In view of the applications of Forster resonant energy transfer (FRET) in biological systems which especially require FRET in the infrared region, we investigate the great advantage of graphene plasmonics in such studies. ...
Toward transduodenal diffuse optical tomography of proximal pancreas
(Optica Publishing Group, 2013-10-10)
We demonstrate the feasibility of diffuse optical tomography (DOT) of the proximal pancreas by using optical applicator channels deployed longitudinally along the exterior surface of a duodenoscope. As the duodenum that ...
Identification and characterization of plastid-type proteins from sequence-attributed features using machine learning
(BioMed Central, 2013-10-09)
Background: Plastids are an important component of plant cells, being the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds used by the cell, and contain pigments such as those used in photosynthesis, starch ...
Verified computations for hyperbolic 3-manifolds
(2013-10-12)
For a given cusped 3-manifold M admitting an ideal triangulation, we describe a method to rigorously prove that either M or a filling of M admits a complete hyperbolic structure via verified computer calculations. Central ...
Proteomics approach to the study of cattle tick adaptation to white tailed deer
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, are a serious threat to animal health and production. Some ticks feed on a single host species while others such as R. microplus infest multiple hosts. White tailed deer ...
North American Indigenous adolescent substance use
(Elsevier BV, 2013-05)
Objectives: To investigate growth in problem drinking and monthly marijuana use among North American Indigenous adolescents from the upper Midwest and Canada.
On manifolds with multiple lens space filings
(2013-08-22)
An irreducible 3--manifold with torus boundary either is a Seifert fibered space or admits at most three lens space fillings according to the Cyclic Surgery Theorem. We examine the sharpness of this theorem by classifying ...
