Temperature-Change-Based Thermal Tomography
(Hindawi, 2009-07-22)
Thermal properties of biological tissues play a critical role in the study of tumor angiogenesis and the design and monitoring of thermal therapies. To map thermal parameters noninvasively, we propose temperature-change-based ...
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, ...
Whole genome sequence analysis reveals the broad distribution of the RtxA type 1 secretion system and four novel putative type 1 secretion systems throughout the Legionella genus
(PLoS, 2020-01-01)
Type 1 secretion systems (T1SSs) are broadly distributed among bacteria and translocate effectors with diverse function across the bacterial cell membrane. Legionella pneumophila, the species most commonly associated with ...
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 ...
Prediction of Dynamic Stability Using Mapped Chebyshev Pseudospectral Method
(Hindawi, 2018-08-01)
A mapped Chebyshev pseudospectral method is extended to solve three-dimensional unsteady flow problems. As the classical Chebyshev spectral approach can lead to numerical instabilities due to ill conditioning of the spectral ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
