Bacterial resistance to antibiotics continues to be a serious concern worldwide. This has motivated a strong research focus on naturally-occurring antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as templates for new drug development. To ...

The climatological community relies increasingly on computing intensive models and applications to study atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, carbon cycle and other tracer gases. These models and applications are becoming ...

NURBS stands for a "Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline" type of surface. Ship hull forms are represented by NURBS in most of the modern Computer Aided Ship Design (CASD) environments. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based ...

Agricultural studies and food security have become critical research topics due to continuous growth in human population and simultaneous shrinkage in agricultural land. In spite of modern technological advancements to ...

One of the most significant uncertainties in climate change projections is the sensitivity of the climate system to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. Attempts to estimate this sensitivity based on observations over ...

Glioblastomas (GBMs), the most aggressive malignant astrocytomas, are recurrent, infiltrative, and fatal. In GBMs, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are often activated by mutations, leading to the dysregulation of cell ...

Molecular Dynamics (MD) has been and continues to be a popular method of molecular simulation because it is easily parallelizable. Parallel programming has become less burdensome for the science community, and competition ...

Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia and is considered a Category A, Tier 1 biological threat agent. We and others have shown that Francisella tularensis forms biofilms in vitro , and we have ...

The Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is a federal action the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established to create a nutrient and sediment reduction strategy for the Chesapeake Bay based on contributions ...

Microarrays are high throughput data measurement technologies; those that assay gene expression levels allowing investigators to simultaneously estimate the level of thousands of cellular transcripts present in a sample ...
