A dual role for ErbB2 signaling in cardiac trabeculation.
(Development, 2010-11)Cardiac trabeculation is a crucial morphogenetic process by which clusters of ventricular cardiomyocytes extrude and expand into the cardiac jelly to form sheet-like projections. Although it has been suggested that cardiac ... -
Band structure, phonon scattering, and the performance limit of single-walled carbon nanotube transistors.
(Phys Rev Lett, 2005-09-30)Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied in the diffusive transport regime. The peak mobility is found to scale with the square of the nanotube diameter and inversely with temperature. The maximum conductance, ... -
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 ... -
Deposition of silver nanoparticles in geochemically heterogeneous porous media: predicting affinity from surface composition analysis.
(Environ Sci Technol, 2011-06-15)The transport of uncoated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in a porous medium composed of silica glass beads modified with a partial coverage of iron oxide (hematite) was studied and compared to that in a porous medium composed ... -
Design and synthesis of hierarchical MnO2 nanospheres/carbon nanotubes/conducting polymer ternary composite for high performance electrochemical electrodes.
(Nano Lett, 2010-07-14)For efficient use of metal oxides, such as MnO(2) and RuO(2), in pseudocapacitors and other electrochemical applications, the poor conductivity of the metal oxide is a major problem. To tackle the problem, we have designed ... -
Development of a TaqMan Array Card for Acute-Febrile-Illness Outbreak Investigation and Surveillance of Emerging Pathogens, Including Ebola Virus.
(J Clin Microbiol, 2016-01)Acute febrile illness (AFI) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet an etiologic agent is often not identified. Convalescent-phase serology is impractical, blood culture is slow, and many pathogens ... -
Developmental toxicity from exposure to various forms of mercury compounds in medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) embryos.
(PeerJ, 2016)This study examined developmental toxicity of different mercury compounds, including some used in traditional medicines. Medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryos were exposed to 0.001-10 µM concentrations of MeHg, HgCl2, α-HgS (Zhu ... -
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 ...
