A novel signaling pathway that governs cell adhesion
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08) -
A study of hydrocarbon degradation by microbial populations in Lake George: field investigations and characterization of an isolate
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1974-06) -
A study on the function of ahi1, a homolog of the Joubert syndrome gene AHI1, during zebrafish development
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Absolute protein quantitation reveals a nutrient-dependent link between cell growth and division
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)How a cell knows when it has grown large enough to divide is a fundamental unanswered question with broad implications to understanding disease. Cell size homeostasis, or the balance between growth and division, is modulated ... -
Acclimation to and mitigation of anthropogenic nutrients by wetland plants
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)Wetlands are some of the most important ecosystems on the planet, and are often referred to as "kidneys of the landscape" because of their remarkable ability to filter contaminants, especially those introduced by human ... -
Acrylonitrile degradation by Rhodococcus spp. in an activated carbon trickling filter
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1998-05) -
Activity study on several mutants heparin lyase II
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-05) -
AHI1, a ciliopathy-causing gene, is involved in the formation and function of primary cilia through the regulation of intracellular vesicular trafficking
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
Amphibian responses to anthropogenic and natural stressors
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)In my dissertation, I asked the following questions: 1) what is the length of time that induced tolerance is retained and are there trade-offs to inducing increased tolerance, 2) what factors (i.e., frequency of exposure, ... -
An investigation of the water fern Azolla for the remediation of lead and emerging contaminants from aqueous solution
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)The development of cost-effective and efficient water remediation technology is critical as available sources of clean freshwater on this earth dwindle. Phytoremediation, the use of plants for contaminant removal, has ... -
Analysis of the guanidine insoluble centrosome centromatrix in Spisula solidissima oocytes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12) -
Aqueous-organic two-phase systems enhance activity of undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Cis-prenyltransferases (CPT) are a class of enzymes that biocatalyze terpenoid-pathway cis-1,4-polyisoprenoids (CP) from 5-carbon isoprenoid precursors. CPT products range from bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall lipid ... -
Arenavirus-induced cytopathic effect in MDCK cells : A model for the persistent infection of the mouse
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-05)Arenaviruses kill Madin-Oarby canine kidney (MOCK) cells as shown by cloning in the presence of neutralizing antibody. Three strains (USC, WCP, and Traub) of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCM), as well as Pichinde ... -
Bacterial cellulose : atomized nutrient delivery and gelatin for morphological control
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a naturally derived three-dimensional mesoporous matrix, having high crystallinity, high mechanical strength, high water holding capacity, low density, low electrical conductivity, and is ... -
Basin specific condition, growth and diet of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) and lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Lake George, New York
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)Von Bertalanffy growth models were determined using total length versus age, as determined by microscopic examination of otolith annuli. Growth models of the basins showed variation in growth of yellow perch and lake trout. ... -
Biochemical and physiological characterization of the three NADH dehydrogenases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is present in a wide variety of environments. Immune compromised patients readily acquire P. aeruginosa. After infection, this bacterium typically ... -
Biophysical characterization of intrinsically disordered peptides through molecular dynamics simulations and solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Here, the ensembles of Aβ were simulated using all atom models and explicit water. Further, we employed enhanced sampling through replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) using longer timescales than had been employed ... -
