Giardia lamblia (syn intestinalis, syn duodenalis) is an important human pathogen and the etiological agent of giardiasis, the most common gastrointestinal disease in the world. Since its discovery in 1681, Giardia has ...
Molecular signatures and cellular differences in granulosa cells from fertile and subfertile beef heifers
(2023-06-23)
Subfertility is a leading contributor to economic losses in the cow-calf sector of the beef cattle industry. Cow-calf producers invest significant time and financial resources in the selection and development of replacement ...
The Molecular Underpinning of Life-History Evolution: Roles of the IIS network and the Building of a Reptilian Model
(2021-07-12)
The Insulin and Insulin-like Signaling (IIS) network regulates cellular processes including pre- and post-natal growth, cellular development, wound healing, reproduction, and longevity. Despite their importance on the ...
Molecular, physiological, and organismal-level effects of thermal stress in corkscrew sea anemones Bartholomea annulata
(2020-07-20)
Changing ocean dynamics in the form of increasing seawater temperature are having drastic effects on the symbiotic relationships of coral reef cnidarians, causing them to bleach and die at increasing frequencies. Most ...
Molecular-Level Modeling of Thermal Transport Mechanisms within Carbon Nanotube/Graphene-based Nanostructure-enhanced Phase Change Materials
(2014-07-29)
The mechanisms of nanoscale thermal transport within nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids) and nanostructure-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM) are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
To begin, ...
MOMENTS
(2017-05-15)
People are consumed with speed: work quickly, play quickly, love quickly. Something we do want to do quickly, but not everything. Apparently, many people are misleading by the pursuit of quality of life that they suffer ...
Monitoring and Evaluation of Alabama’s First Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated Bridge System
(2018-10-31)
Geosynthetic reinforced soil-integrated bridge systems (GRS-IBS) use closely spaced layers of geosynthetic reinforcement and compacted granular backfill to directly support the bridge deck and blend the abutment and roadway ...
Monitoring Moisture Content and Mass Flow of Wood Chips Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography
(2014-12-10)
Woody biomass is currently sold on a wet basis, a system that works because moisture
content of harvested trees normally
uctuates within a narrow range and wood from multiple
sources can be considered a uniform product. ...
Monitoring Strategies and Occupancy Analysis for the Reintroduced Eastern Indigo Snake in Conecuh National Forest, Alabama
(2023-05-02)
The Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon couperi) was presumed extirpated from its native range in Alabama in the 1950’s and was added to the Endangered Species List in 1978. A reintroduction program for the species began in ...
Monitoring, quantifying, and controlling the effects of cyanobacterial blooms and toxins
(2021-04-15)
Cyanobacterial blooms and toxins have harmful impacts on global aquatic ecosystems.
Within this, their impact on the water quality of freshwater systems are particularly troublesome.
My research investigated methods to ...

(2016-08-08)
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an economically important crop that is produced in the United States and throughout the world. However, there are two major fungal pathogens of cultivated peanuts, and they each ...
Monotonic Covering Properties
(2014-07-29)
Monotonic versions of classical topological properties have been of some interest for several years. That adding monotonic to a covering property makes it stronger is well-known, but exactly how much stronger is still, ...
