Diverse Misfolded Conformational Strains and Cross-seeding of Misfolded Proteins Implicated in Neurodegenerative Diseases
(2019-07-09)
Numerous neurodegenerative diseases including prion, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases are characterized by accumulation of protein aggregates in brain. Prion disease is unique in that the natively folded prion protein ...
Development of a robust nonlinear pitch angle controller for a redesigned 5MW wind turbine blade tip
(2019-01-23)
Power in wind turbines are traditionally controlled by varying the pitch angle at high wind speeds in region 3 of the wind turbine operation. The pitch angles controllers are normally driven by electrical or hydraulic ...
Economic Impact of Early‑in‑Hospital Diagnosis and Initiation of Eculizumab in Atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome
(2019-12-12)
Background
Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition caused by dysregulation of the complement pathway. Eculizumab is currently the only approved treatment for this ...
Developing high performance concrete for precast/prestressed concrete industry
(2019-10-10)
High performance concrete (HPC) is a new class of concrete that has superior characteristics compared to conventional concrete. Despite of its superior characteristics, HPC is not widely used in local and international ...
Continuous drawing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in ethanol and agile functionalization through infusion
(2019-01-03)
To explore the possibility of applying organic-solvent drawing technique to accomplish a process of industrial significance, continuous drawing of as-spun PET fibers in ethanol was performed. The formation of multiple ...
Advances in Remote Sensing of Flooding
(2015-10)
With the publication of eight original research articles, four types of advances in the remote sensing of floods are achieved. The uncertainty of modeled outputs using precipitation datasets derived from in situ observations ...
Article Commentary: Educating Future Environmental Health Professionals
(2015)
: Future environmental health problems will require a new generation of educated and trained professionals. Efforts to enhance the environmental public health workforce have been promoted by several organizations. While ...
Analytical formulas for differential cross sections for ejection of electrons in ionization of water by protons in the PWBA and ECPSSR
(2015)
For comparison with measured ionization cross sections as a function of the ejected electrons from water by protons, analytical formulas of the plane-wave Born approximation (PWBA) and the ECPSSR theory – that accounting ...
Founder effects and species introductions: A host versus parasite perspective
(2019-08-07)
Species colonizations (both natural and anthropogenic) can be associated with genetic
founder effects, where founding populations demonstrate significant genetic bottlenecks compared to native populations. Yet, many ...
