Development of a rapid recombinase polymerase amplification assay for the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae in whole blood
(BioMed Central, 2015-10-29)
Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of microbial disease in humans. The introduction of multivalent vaccines has coincided with a dramatic decrease in the number of pneumococcal-related deaths. In ...
Effects of growth phase and temperature on sigma(B) Activity within a Listeria monocytogenes population: evidence for RsbV-independent activation of sigma(B) at refrigeration temperatures
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-03-05)
The alternative sigma factor sigma(B) of Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for regulating the transcription of many of the genes necessary for adaptation to both food-related stresses and to conditions found within the ...
Magnetotelluric tensors, electromagnetic field scattering and distortion in three-dimensional environments
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-10-28)
This paper describes how subsurface resistivity distributions can be estimated directly from
the magnetotelluric (MT) tensor relationship between electric and magnetic fields observed on a
three-dimensional (3-D) half-space. ...
Donor bone marrow-derived dendritic cells prolong corneal allograft survival and promote an intragraft immunoregulatory milieu.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-08)
Investigations into cell therapies for application in organ transplantation have grown. Here, we describe the ex vivo generation of donor bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and glucocorticoid-treated BMDCs with ...
Privacy, security and policies: A review of problems and solutions with semantic web technologies
(IOS Press, 2018)
Semantic Web technologies aim to simplify the distribution, sharing and exploitation of information and knowledge,
across multiple distributed actors on the Web. As with all technologies that manipulate information, there ...
Adenoviral transduction of mesenchymal stem cells: in vitro responses and in vivo immune responses after cell transplantation
(2012)
Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic cells with multi-lineage potential which makes them attractive targets for regenerative medicine applications. However, to date, therapeutic success of MSC-therapy ...
Laser sintering for the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2012)
Laser sintering (LS) utilises a laser to sinter powder particles. A volumetric model is sliced and processedcross section by cross section to create a physical part. In theory, all powdered materials are suitable forsintering; ...
Alignment-free clustering of transcription factor binding motifs using a genetic-k-medoids approach
(BioMed Central, 2015-01-28)
Background: Familial binding profiles (FBPs) represent the average binding specificity for a group of structurally related DNA-binding proteins. The construction of such profiles allows the classification of novel motifs ...
Hospitality and sovereignty: what can we learn from the Canadian private sponsorship of refugees program?
(Oxford University Press, 2012-09-10)
This article addresses the tension between state sovereignty and refugee protection. The application of refugee law is often harshly criticized with such modern tendencies as increased border controls ...
Muslim women's claims to refugee status within the context of child custody upon divorce under Islamic law
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
