Attempts to develop dual-purpose durum wheat cultivars for both pasta and bread-making
have been unsuccessful. To better understand this limitation, thirty durum
genotypes, selected based on their diverse geographical origin, and five bread wheat
cultivars were compared as to their flour mixing properties, dough physical characteristics
and baking performance. The...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a major public health concern in the obese and type 2 diabetic populations. The high-fat lard diet induces obesity and fatty liver in C57BL/6J mice and suppresses expression of the PPAR-target gene, FA elongase 5 (Elovl5). Elovl5 plays a key role in MUFA and PUFA...
The rapid development of semiconductor technology and the increasing complexity of VLSI chips have prompted both the industry and the
academic community alike to take an indepth look at the VLSI design
problem. Many design methodologies have been proposed and associated
computer-aided tools developed. This thesis is a study of...
Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third leading cause of cancer death in the USA, depends on early detection for patient survival. Early detection is improved with the identification of high risk individuals. Risk of CRC development is a complex interaction between an individual’s genetics and environmental exposures. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)...

BACKGROUND: Triticum monococcum (2n) is a close ancestor of T. urartu, the A-genome progenitor of cultivated hexaploid
wheat, and is therefore a useful model for the study of components regulating photomorphogenesis in diploid wheat. In
order to develop genetic and genomic resources for such a study, we constructed genome-wide transcriptomes...

In this dissertation we study the electromagnetic properties of planar waveguides
with non-magnetic strongly anisotropic dielectric cores. We develop an analytical
description of the mode propagation in these systems and show that the index
of refraction can be either positive or negative depending on the specific material
parameters. Propagating modes...
Ever-increasing size, complexity and operation costs in modern
power systems have stimulated the intensive study of an optimal
Load Shedding and Generator Rescheduling (LSGR) strategy in the
sense of a secure and economic system operation.
The conventional approach to LSGR has been based on the application of LP (Linear Programming)...
