Flow and Scalar Transfer Characteristics for a Circular Colony of Vegetation
(2022-09-29)Local and global flow structures, as well as transfer and transport of a passive scalar from a circular colony of uniformly distributed vegetation stems, are investigated at Re = 2100, Re = 4200, and Re = 8400. The number ... -
Using Computational Approaches to Reveal Mechanisms of Kinesin-5 Binding with Microtubule
(2022-09-29)Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins that play important roles ranging from intracellular transport to cell division. Human Kinesin-5 (Eg5) is essential for mitotic spindle assembly during cell division. By combining ... -
Rare Copy Number Variants Implicated in Bicuspid Aortic Valve
(2022-09-30)Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital heart defect in adults, can lead to many long-term complications. More aggressive complications can manifest in children and adolescents as early onset ... -
AlphaFold 2 Monomer: Deployment in an HPC Environment
(2022-09-29)AlphaFold2, developed by Google DeepMind, is a breakthrough in the grand challenge of protein structure prediction. While the breakthrough will have profound impact on biomedical research, its application faces significant ... -
AlignEM-SWiFT: Graphical Interface for Aligning Electron Micrographs Using Signal Whitening Fourier Transforms
(2022-09-29)We have built an intuitive graphical user interface for aligning serial section electron micrographs (ssEM) using Signal Whitening Fourier Transforms (SWiFT). AlignEM-SWiFT is a graphical extension of SWiFT-IR, a proven ... -
Applications of Machine Learning Algorithms for Coral Disease Fate in Caribbean Corals
(2022-09-29)The Caribbean is known as a coral disease “hot spot” due to the high prevalence of acute and chronic diseases that have plagued corals in the area. Two diseases, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) and White Plague ... -
Discovering Pathophysiologic Networks of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Using the BrainMap Community Portal through the Texas Advanced Computing Center
(2022-09-29)Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) seizures cause regional damage, detectable on imaging of brain structure (VBM) and function (VBM). Damage is mediated by aberrant neuronal activity propagating along existing network architecture. ... -
Phosphorylation of Tyrosine 841 Strongly Affects JAK3 Kinase’s Activation
(2022-09-29)Janus Kinase 3 (JAK3) plays a key role in the proliferation, development, and differentiation of various cells. It regulates gene expression by phosphorylation of Signal Transducer and Activators of Transcriptions (STATs). ... -
Molding Aortic Valve Hemodynamics Using a Novel Immersed Boundary Method
(2022-09-29)This research entails the study of the transfer and transport of a passive scalar around the aortic valve to aid in understanding Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD). Simulations were conducted using a novel interpolation-free ... -
MuBuCo: Mutation Burden Composition
(2022-09-29)Gene mutations can vary by type, in terms of affecting a single site, spanning hundreds of base pairs, or their over/under-representation in cancer cells. Collectively, these mutation types include: single nucleotide ... -
Automated Identification of Cotton Diseases and Pests
(2022)There is a constant need for optimizing food production and farming across the world, espe- cially in impoverished countries where the economy heavily depends on agriculture. The major contributing factors to crop yield ... -
Investigating the Permissive Environment of Perisynaptic Astroglia for Information Storage in the Dentate Gyrus
(2022-09-29)Perisynaptic astroglial processes (PAPs), are active modulators of neuronal activity and directly contribute to information processing in the brain. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that PAPs undergo ... -
Automated Detection and Tracking of Infield Cotton Bolls
(2022-09-29)Cotton fiber accounts for nearly 25% of world-wide textile fiber use. Texas produces more cotton than any other state. It contributes approximately 45% of the U.S. cotton production, with about 25% of the entire U.S. crop, ... -
Resolving Multiple Gravitational Wave Sources in Pulsar Timing Array Data
(2022-09-29)Timing the arrival of radio pulses from an array of rapidly spinning neutron stars (Pulsars) is a promising method for detecting gravitational waves (GWs) in the ultra-low frequency regime (10!" Hz to 10!# Hz), primarily ... -
Pure Seminoma Subtyping Using Computational Approaches
(2022-09-29)Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) being the most common solid malignancy in adolescent and young men, are second in terms of the average life years lost per person dying of cancer. Two major types of TGCTs are seminoma ... -
