Porous substrates transport fluid via capillary action and can be inexpensive, making them ideal for field-use sensors. Direct wax printing is one of the most commonly used fabrication methods to define fluid paths in standard substrates like cellulose and nitrocellulose. However, direct wax printing is not possible for flexible materials...
A selective and label-free biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution was developed based on the principle of photoluminescence quenching of upon immunocomplex formation with antibody-functionalized diatom frustule biosilica. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells...

Background/Purpose: A variety of models have been proposed to understand individuals with disabilities. Although it is important to consider the perspective of disability each model presents, the social model has gained considerable attention. This model explains disability as limitations and restrictions of society and the environment. A subset of the...

CodY is known to regulate various virulence properties in several Gram-positive bacteria but has not yet been studied
in the important histotoxic and intestinal pathogen Clostridium perfringens. The present study prepared an isogenic codY-null
mutant in C. perfringens type D strain CN3718 by insertional mutagenesis using the Targetron system. Western...

The HIV pandemic continues to impose enormous morbidity, mortality and economic burdens across the globe. Simultaneously, innovations in antiretroviral therapy, diagnostic approaches and vaccine development are providing novel tools for treatment-as-prevention and prophylaxis. We developed a mathematical model to evaluate the added benefit of an HIV vaccine in the context...

Air particulate matter (PM) samples were collected from June 2006 to May 2007 for determination chemical elements. PM samples were taken in two size fractions (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀) with MiniVolume air samplers on rooftops of various buildings (15-25 m above ground) in the city of Riyadh. The samples were subjected...

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), the most common cancer of the urinary bladder in dogs, is usually diagnosed at an advanced disease stage with limited response to chemotherapy. Commercial screening tests lack specificity and current diagnostic procedures are invasive. A proof of concept pilot project for analyzing the canine urinary proteome...

This thesis consists of two major components. The first is Laboring-Class Poets Online (LCPO), a database-driven website that provides information about the more than 2,000 British laboring-class poets who published between 1700 and 1900 and their writing, lives, and literary relationships. I developed LCPO to demonstrate the importance of laboring-class...

BACKGROUND: The impact of cell-composition effects in analysis of DNA methylation data is now widely appreciated.
With the availability of a reference data set consisting of DNA methylation measurements on isolated cell types, it is
possible to impute cell proportions and adjust for them, but there is increasing interest in...
