Epitopes, the regions of antigens that are detected by the immune system, have garnered considerable scientific interest in recent years due to their potential for influencing the development of novel medical countermeasures, ...

It is well established that diabetes is of critical importance in the world as the number of people affected increases globally. Although a great deal is known about the pancreas and its function, there are still unanswered ...

l(3)DTS4 is an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) directed mutation that exhibits temperature sensitive dominant lethality and is one of the only mutations that expresses conditional dominant lethality in one dose in triploids ...

Recognizing when a ring is a matrix ring is of significant importance in the study of algebra. A well-known result in noncommutative ring theory states that a ring $R$ is a matrix ring if and only if it contains a set of ...

A location model is introduced that maximizes the shortest Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) path between facilities. A scenario has been created where retailers that are interested in designing store layouts wish to maximize ...

Spectropolarimetry is a remote sensing technique that combines both spectral and polarimetric measurements. It is already well-established in the astronomical community as an indispensable tool, permitting characterization ...

Bacillus cereus, an opportunistic bacterium that causes food poisoning, secretes a multitude of virulence factors that are influenced by environmental stimuli such as oxygen, pH, glucose, and bacterial density. The ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a poorly understood fibrotic disease that claims the lives of more than 40,000 Americans every year. The current pathological model of IPF describes an observed significant increase ...

The thesis investigates the physical question of mechanisms of the Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) in a new way, using the weather noise forced interactive ensemble. It includes two distinct but closely related ...

Recent advances in genomic technology have resulted in the availability of an unprecedented amount of genetic data. However, despite the impressive resolution in genetic markers currently available, those who study complex ...
