Mining germplasm panels and phenotypic datasets to identify loci for resistance to Phytophthora sojae in soybean
(Wiley, 2020-11-16)Phytophthora sojae causes Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean and has been primarily managed through deployment of qualitative Resistance to P. sojae genes (Rps genes). The effectiveness of each individual or combination ... -
Mitigation of bidirectional solute flux in forward osmosis via membrane surface coating of zwitterion functionalized carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier, 2019-07-08)Forward osmosis (FO) has emerged as a promising membrane technology to yield high-quality reusable water from various water sources. A key challenge to be solved is the bidirectional solute flux (BSF), including reverse ... -
Mitigation of impedance changes due to electroporation therapy using bursts of high-frequency bipolar pulses
(2015-08-27)Background For electroporation-based therapies, accurate modeling of the electric field distribution within the target tissue is important for predicting the treatment volume. In response to conventional, unipolar pulses, ... -
Mitochondrial alteration in type 2 diabetes and obesity
(Landes Bioscience, 2014-03-15)The growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity is largely attributed to the current lifestyle of over-consumption and physical inactivity. As the primary platform controlling metabolic and energy ... -
The Mitochondrial Basis of Aging and Age-Related Disorders
(MDPI, 2017-12-19)Aging is a natural phenomenon characterized by progressive decline in tissue and organ function leading to increased risk of disease and mortality. Among diverse factors that contribute to human aging, the mitochondrial ... -
Mitochondrial Epigenetic Changes Link to Increased Diabetes Risk and Early-Stage Prediabetes Indicator
(Hindawi, 2016-04-26)Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by mitochondrial derangement and oxidative stress. With no known cure for T2D, it is critical to identify mitochondrial biomarkers for early diagnosis of prediabetes and disease ... -
A model using marginal efficiency of investment to analyze carbon and nitrogen interactions in terrestrial ecosystems
(European Geosciences Union, 2014-09-12)Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles are coupled in terrestrial ecosystems through multiple processes including photosynthesis, tissue allocation, respiration, N fixation, N uptake, and decomposition of litter and soil organic ... -
Modeling and analysis of a high-displacement pneumatic artificial muscle with integrated sensing
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-01-07)We present a high-displacement pneumatic artificial muscle made of textiles or plastics that can include integrated electronics to sense its pressure and displacement. Compared to traditional pneumatic muscle actuators ... -
Modeling and estimating the feedback mechanisms among depression, rumination, and stressors in adolescents
(PLOS, 2018-09-27)The systemic interactions among depressive symptoms, rumination, and stress are important to understanding depression but have not yet been quantified. In this article, we present a system dynamics simulation model of ... -
Modeling human enteric dysbiosis and rotavirus immunity in gnotobiotic pigs
(2016)BACKGROUND: Rotavirus vaccines have poor efficacy in infants from low- and middle-income countries. Gut microbiota is thought to influence the immune response to oral vaccines. Thus, we developed a gnotobiotic (Gn) pig ... -
Modulation of nucleosomal DNA accessibility via charge-altering post-translational modifications in histone core
(2018-03-16)Background Controlled modulation of nucleosomal DNA accessibility via post-translational modifications (PTM) is a critical component to many cellular functions. Charge-altering PTMs in the globular histone ... -
Molecular evolution of genes encoding allergen proteins in the peanuts genus Arachis: Structural and functional implications
(PLOS, 2019-11-01)Food allergies are severe immune responses to plant and animal products mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are among the top 15 crops that feed the world. However, peanuts is among the “big ... -
Molecular Surveillance of Viral Processes Using Silicon Nitride Membranes
(MDPI, 2013-03)Here we present new applications for silicon nitride (SiN) membranes to evaluate biological processes. We determined that 50-nanometer thin films of SiN produced from silicon wafers were sufficiently durable to bind active ... -
The Most Frequently Cited Topics in Urban Planning Scholarship
(MDPI, 2020-01-17)Analyses of faculty citation activity usually focus on counts as a function of author characteristics, such as rank, gender, previous citation levels, and other factors influencing productivity and career path. Citation ... -
Motion Inference Using Sparse Inertial Sensors, Self-Supervised Learning, and a New Dataset of Unscripted Human Motion
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)In recent years, wearable sensors have become common, with possible applications in biomechanical monitoring, sports and fitness training, rehabilitation, assistive devices, or human-computer interaction. Our goal was to ... -
Multi-differentiation potential is necessary for optimal tenogenesis of tendon stem cells
(2020-04-09)Background Tendon injury is a significant clinical problem due to poor healing and a high reinjury rate; successful treatment is limited by our poor understanding of endogenous tendon stem cells. Recent evidence suggests ... -
Multi-Resolution Sensitivity Analysis of Model of Immune Response to Helicobacter pylori Infection via Spatio-Temporal Metamodeling
(Frontiers, 2019-02-05)Computational immunology studies the interactions between the components of the immune system that includes the interplay between regulatory and inflammatory elements. It provides a solid framework that aids the conversion ... -
Multienvironment and Multitrait Genomic Selection Models in Unbalanced Early-Generation Wheat Yield Trials
(Crop Science Society of America, 2019-02-21)The majority of studies evaluating genomic selection (GS) for plant breeding have used single-trait, single-site models that ignore genotype x environment interaction (GEI) effects. However, such studies do not accurately ... -
