Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionarily conserved process used by cells to decrease mutation rates, thereby increasing genetic stability and reducing cancer risk. Germline mutations in the MMR gene MLH1 have been identified in Lynch Syndrome patients, and in many cases are suspected but not confirmed as causative for...

Abstract:: Nares Strait is one of three main passages of the Canadian Archipelago that channels freshwater from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic. There are very few observations regarding the role of this region on the present day Arctic freshwater budget, and even less regarding the changes in freshwater fluxes...

Abstract:: Two native shrub species (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis) are prominent vegetation components in farmers’ fields in Senegal. However, their role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function has largely been overlooked. A study including both laboratory and field experiments was conducted to evaluate potential biophysical interactions of the two shrub...

Abstract:: Formaldehyde-based adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives dominate the current wood adhesive market. However, these adhesives are derived from petrochemicals and carcinogenic formaldehyde. In this study, we developed two formaldehyde-free adhesives based on abundant, renewable, and inexpensive soy flour (SF). The first adhesive was mainly composed of...

Abstract:: The adsorption and elution of the antimicrobial peptide nisin at hydrophobic, silanized silica surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]- poly[ethylene oxide] surfactant Pluronic® F108 was measured in situ, with ellipsometry. While such layers are known to inhibit protein adsorption, nisin was observed to adsorb in multilayer quantities, to an...
