Characterization of an Attenuated Aeromonas hydrophila Vaccine and Molecular Mechanisms of Channel Catfish Immunity against Aeromonas hydrophila infection 

Mu, Xingjiang (2012-07-17)
An attenuated Aeromonas hydrophila AL09-71 N+R vaccine strain was compared to its virulent parent strain A. hydrophila AL09-71. The attenuated AL09-71 N+R strain was developed through selection of resistance to both ...

Characterization of Biofuels Produced from Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Algae, Its Subsequent Upgrading and Fractional Distillation 

Jain, Nikhil (2018-11-16)
Crude petroleum is the major source of transportation fuels in the world whose reserves are declining day by day. It has become imperative to look for an alternative that can either replace or substitute the current energy ...

Characterization of Biopores Resulting from Mole Crickets (Scapteriscus spp.) 

Bailey, David L. (2012-09-27)
Soil organisms, particularly arthropods, create biopores as they move or tunnel. The abundance and burrowing nature of mole crickets, a common soil-inhabiting pest in the southeastern United States, will likely influence ...

Characterization of Chromium Trihalide based Magnetic Tunnel Junctions via First Principles Calculations 

Heath, Jonathan (2021-04-12)
At finite temperatures, free-standing two-dimensional (2D) materials were originally theorized to be thermodynamically unstable, let alone possess magnetization. However, in 2018, the first ferromagnetic 2D semiconductor ...

Characterization of CRF domain containing ERF genes- Solanum lycopersicum Cytokinin Response Factors SlCRF3 and SlCRF5 in tomato development 

Gupta, Sarika (2013-07-19)
Cytokinin is an important hormone involved in numerous aspects of plant growth and development. A newly identified group of transcription factors- Cytokinin Response Factors (CRFs) has been included as a side branch to ...

Characterization of Defeat of Weaponized Biological Spores via Heat Transfer 

Rolader, Drew (2016-12-09)
During the past few decades, there has been concern that large amounts of weaponized Bacillus Anthracis (Ba) is being created and stored in 55 gallon barrels by potential adversaries of the United States. The most likely ...
