Bonds between fibronectin and fibronectin-binding proteins on Staphylococcus aureus and Lactococcus lactis.
(Langmuir, 2010-07-06)Bacterial cell-wall-associated fibronectin binding proteins A and B (FnBPA and FnBPB) form bonds with host fibronectin. This binding reaction is often the initial step in prosthetic device infections. Atomic force microscopy ... -
Comparative effectiveness studies to improve clinical outcomes in end stage renal disease: the DEcIDE patient outcomes in end stage renal disease study.
(BMC Nephrol, 2012-12-06)BACKGROUND: Evidence is lacking to inform providers' and patients' decisions about many common treatment strategies for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). METHODS/DESIGN: The DEcIDE Patient Outcomes in ESRD Study ... -
Determination of the Axial-Vector Weak Coupling Constant with Ultracold Neutrons
(2010)A precise measurement of the neutron decay beta asymmetry A(0) has been carried out using polarized ultracold neutrons from the pulsed spallation ultracold neutron source at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Combining ... -
Effects of reabsorption and spatial trap distributions on the radiative quantum efficiencies of ZnO
(Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2010-03-15)Ultrafast time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy following one- and two-photon excitations of ZnO powder is used to gain unprecedented insight into the surprisingly high external quantum efficiency of its "green" defect ... -
Efficient rare event simulation for failure problems in random media
(SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2015-01-01)© 2015 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.In this paper we study rare events associated to the solutions of an elliptic partial differential equation with a spatially varying random coefficient. The random coefficient ... -
Genomic signatures of near-extinction and rebirth of the crested ibis and other endangered bird species.
(Genome Biol, 2014)BACKGROUND: Nearly one-quarter of all avian species is either threatened or nearly threatened. Of these, 73 species are currently being rescued from going extinct in wildlife sanctuaries. One of the previously most ... -
H2 storage in microporous carbons from PEEK precursors
(Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2010-08-19)Large surface area (524-3275 m2/g) microporous carbons (MPCs) derived from poly (etheretherketone), or PEEK, have been synthesized and categorized for their roles as H2 storage materials. It was found that, because of their ... -
Moderate Deviation for Random Elliptic PDEs with Small Noise
(2017-04-23)Partial differential equations with random inputs have become popular models to characterize physical systems with uncertainty coming from, e.g., imprecise measurement and intrinsic randomness. In this paper, we perform ... -
NCP activates chloroplast transcription by controlling phytochrome-dependent dual nuclear and plastidial switches

Practices and outcomes of self-treatment with helminths based on physicians' observations.
(J Helminthol, 2016-05-31)The successful use of helminths as therapeutic agents to resolve inflammatory disease was first recorded 40 years ago. Subsequent work in animal models and in humans has demonstrated that the organisms might effectively ... -
Synthesis of copper nanocatalysts with tunable size using diblock copolymer solution micelles
(Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2010-04-08)Self-assembled solution micelles prepared from polystyrene-b-poly(4- vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) and polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP), have been employed as templates to synthesize copper nanocatalysts which ...
