Micro-device For Selective Isolation And Cytology Of Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Early detection and isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can enable early cancer diagnosis and more effective therapeutics. Aptamers have emerged as probe molecules that have binding affinities comparable to antibodies ...
Solid-state Devices For Detection Of DNA, Protein Biomarkers And Cells
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Nanobiotechnology and BioMEMS have had tremendous impact on biosensing in the areas of cancer cell detection and therapeutics, disease diagnostics, proteomics and DNA analysis. Diseases are expressed on all levels including ...
On-road Measurement Of NOx And CO₂ Emissions From Biodiesel Produced From Different Feedstocks
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-07-25)
Biodiesel has generated increased interest in the US and elsewhere recently as an alternative to petroleum-derived diesel. Because it can be produced from domestic feedstocks such as soybeans, canola oil, and even recycled ...
Self-assmbled Lithography-free Fabrication Of Microchannels And Microfluidics In Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Rapid, reliable and easy to implement approaches are needed for fabrication of circular microchannels in polymeric microfluidics. PDMS has been a choice of material in microfluidics and it is being used as prototype due ...
One Foot In The Grave: The Zombie's Consumption Of American Film
(English, 2012-04-11)
American film has chronicled the evolution of the zombie mythos for nearly eight decades. Originally constructed as a projection of the plight of the enslaved population of Haiti, the zombie as introduced to American film ...
First-principles Studies On N-type And P-type Doping In Cuprous Oxide
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2012)
We have performed studies on n-type and p-type cuprous oxide with and without doping by first principles methods. Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) is used for the geometry optimization. The total energy and the ...
Wear and Tribofilm Formation With Zinc-free Antiwear Additives
(Materials Science & Engineering, 12-10-2012)
Engine oil is used in all internal combustion engines to lubricate the moving parts & mitigate the wear due to friction. Along with the mentioned two functions, engine oil also serves to protect the engine from corrosion, ...
5 cm Gap Injury Repair: Growth Factor Support And Functional Analysis In A Rabbit Common Peroneal Nerve Model
(Biomedical Engineering, 12-10-2012)
Nerve conduits have shown to successfully bridge nerve gaps of ≤ 3 cm; however repair of longer, mixed or motor nerve gaps still remains a clinical challenge. In order to study regeneration techniques in clinically relevant ...
Epigenetics Of HOXC13 Endocrine Regulation And Its Role In Gene Expression And Tumorigenesis
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 12-10-2012)
HOX genes are a subgroup of homeobox containing gene superfamily and have crucial roles in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and embryonic development. HOXC13, one of 39 identified human HOX genes, is involved in ...
Micromachined Devices For In Vitro Biomedical Applications
(Electrical Engineering, 11-09-2012)
Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of tissues. Any deviation in the process can have serious consequences, such as atherosclerosis and cancer metastasis. During cancer metastasis, ...
