Data analysis and predictive modeling for synthetic and naturally occurring biological switches
Biological switches are biochemical network motifs responsible for determining the chemical state of cells, and are a key part of every biological system. The impact of these biological switches on cell behavior is broad. ... -
Improving hydrophilicity of silicone elastomer by IPN formation with hyaluronan
Soft contact lenses have been available to consumers for the past several decades. By far, the most popular form on the market today is the silicone hydrogel, with nearly 70% of the market share. However, many contact lens ... -
Determing the efficacy of Poloxamer 188 (P188) in meniscal damage prevention
Meniscal injuries compose 15% of all knee injuries, most often sports-related. Due to the meniscus's avascular nature, healing is difficult and injury often results in a partial meniscectomy. Research has shown meniscectomies ... -
Active complex electrode (ACE1) electrical impedance tomography system & anatomically inspired modeling of electrode-skin contact impedance, The
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a technique used to image the varying electrical properties of biological tissues or tissue conductivity and permittivity. There are many clinical uses of EIT, but as a newer imaging ... -
P300 wave detection using Emotiv EPOC+ headset: effects of matrix size, flash duration, and colors
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow interactions between human beings and comput- ers without using voluntary muscle. Enormous research effort has been employed in the last few decades to design convenient and user-friendly ... -
Are lines of arrested growth in bone indicative of seasonal metabolic suppression in bears?
Large hibernators such as bears have seasonal metabolic suppression, hibernation (Tøien et al. 2012). During hibernation bear's activity is very low; to the point most other animals would exhibit disuse bone resorption. ...
