Small Molecules Conjugated Silica Nanoparticles for Dual Targeting of Colon Cancer
(2022-12-05)
Colorectal cancer is categorized as the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second main reason for cancer death in the United States. The conventional treatments of colorectal cancer like surgery, chemotherapy and ...
Investigation of Large Protein Complexes Important for Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase Activity and Function
(2022-12-07)
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr) is a key enzyme of methanogens that catalyzes the production or consumption of methane. Mcr contains a nickel tetrapyrrole cofactor (coenzyme F430) which has a crucial role in catalysis. ...
Graph-Based Relative Path Estimation Using Landmarks for Long Distance Ground Vehicle Following
(2022-12-08)
This dissertation presents a graph-based sensor fusion framework for the localization of automated ground vehicles for leader-follower path duplication. A specific focus is given to scenarios where the following distance ...
Bioinspired Microphysiological Systems for in vitro Elucidation of Prostate Tumorigenic Progression and Application in Pre-clinical Therapeutic Evaluation
(2022-12-05)
Contrary to conventional belief, prostate cancer tumors are not merely uniform clusters of cancerous cells that undergo uncontrollable growth and migrate indiscriminately throughout the body. Instead, the prostatic tumor ...
Ascaridia galli: Diagnosis, alternative treatments and influence on cytokine expression, microbiota, egg quality and digestibility
(2022-12-05)
Because of the trend of cage-free egg production, infections with the nematode Ascaridia galli are receiving increased attention. The aim of the first study was to evaluate and quantify the parasitological challenge in ...
In Situ Digestibility and Nutritive Value of Inoculated Cool-Season Annual Grass Baleage
(2022-12-07)
Baleage provides a method to store high quality forages in less-than-ideal Southern weather patterns. The current study evaluated forage nutritive value, in situ digestibility, and silage inoculation of baleage from four ...
Integrating multispectral imagery, airborne lidar and field inventory data for invasive species management in southern coastal areas of USA.
(2022-12-05)
Invasive plant species have imposed severe threats to native ecosystems, worldwide. Among the well-established species, Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) are among the worst invasive ...
EVALUATION OF DUAL-PURPOSE WHEAT VARIETIES IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
(2022-12-07)
Dual-purpose wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) systems increase farm sustainability by diversifying on-farm income. While these systems are common in the Southern Great Plains of the U.S., they are not often utilized in the ...
