Exploring Host-Microbiome Interactions using an in Silico Model of Biomimetic Robots and Engineered Living Cells
(Springer Nature, 2015-07-16)
The microbiome's underlying dynamics play an important role in regulating the behavior and health of its host. In order to explore the details of these interactions, we created an in silico model of a living microbiome, ...
CMGSDB: integrating heterogeneous Caenorhabditis elegans data sources using compositional data mining
(Oxford Univ Press, 2008-01-01)
CMGSDB (Database for Computational Modeling of Gene Silencing) is an integration of heterogeneous data sources about Caenorhabditis elegans with capabilities for compositional data mining (CDM) across diverse domains. ...
Effects of fish caudal fin sweep angle and kinematics on thrust production during low-speed thunniform swimming
(The Company of Biologists, 2019-06-12)
Scombrid fish lunate caudal fins are characterized by a wide range of sweep angles. Scombrid that have small sweep-angle caudal fins move at higher swimming speeds, suggesting that smaller angles produce more thrust. ...
Age-related strength loss affects non-stepping balance recovery
(Public Library of Science, 2019-01-18)
Aging is associated with a higher risk of falls, and an impaired ability to recover balance after a postural perturbation is an important contributing factor. In turn, this impaired recovery ability likely stems from ...
MetaStorm: A Public Resource for Customizable Metagenomics Annotation
(PLOS, 2016-09-15)
Metagenomics is a trending research area, calling for the need to analyze large quantities of data generated from next generation DNA sequencing technologies. The need to store, retrieve, analyze, share, and visualize such ...
Off-chip passivated-electrode, insulator-based dielectrophoresis (O pi DEP)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-08-01)
In this study, we report the first off-chip passivated-electrode, insulator-based dielectrophoresis microchip (OπDEP). This technique combines the sensitivity of electrode-based dielectrophoresis (eDEP) with the high ...
Aggregated responses of human mobility to severe winter storms: An empirical study
(PLOS, 2017-12-07)
Increasing frequency of extreme winter storms has resulted in costly damages and a disruptive impact on the northeastern United States. It is important to understand human mobility patterns during such storms for disaster ...
Functional compartmentalization in the hemocoel of insects
(Springer Nature, 2019-04-15)
The insect circulatory system contains an open hemocoel, in which the mechanism of hemolymph flow control is ambiguous. As a continuous fluidic structure, this cavity should exhibit pressure changes that propagate quickly. ...
Energy advantage of anode electrode rotation over anolyte recirculation for operating a tubular microbial fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2019)
Mixing plays a key role in both electricity generation and organic removal in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) via affecting substrate distribution and internal resistance. Herein, two mixing methods, anode electrode rotation ...
Mathematical Models of Localized Muscle Fatigue: Sensitivity Analysis and Assessment of Two Occupationally-Relevant Models
(PLOS, 2015-12-14)
Muscle fatigue models (MFM) have broad potential application if they can accurately predict muscle capacity and/or endurance time during the execution of diverse tasks. As an initial step toward facilitating improved MFMs, ...
