Characterization of Metabolic Activity in Schwann Cells for Axon Survival during Wallerian Degeneration
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The degeneration of injured axons with concomitant alterations in their flanking glia (Schwann cells in the PNS and oligodendrocytes in the CNS) is a central hallmark of a wide range of neurodegenerative conditions. The ...
DNS of Compressible Reacting Turbulent Shear Layer
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2016-08-19)
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of temporally evolving shear layers have been performed to investigate the mechanisms associated with the entrainment process and to study the dynamics and the kinematics of turbulent/n ...
Inhibitors of Monocarboxylate Transporters for the Treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The rapid transport of lactic acid by monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), part of the solute carrier SLC16A gene family, represents a pivotal mechanism to sustain the growth of cancer cells but also preventing apoptosis ...
A Study of Structure and Function at Neurotransmitter Binding Sites of Nicotinic Receptors
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
In 1961, Jacques Monod said, “I think I have discovered the second secret of life!”. This popular story was about “allosteric regulation”, which is apparently the biochemical alternative to the model of gene action (“first ...
Motivated to work several jobs: The enrichment and depletion of multiple jobholding
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The work experience of multiple jobholders—or individuals who work more than one job simultaneously—is vastly under-researched despite the prevalence of this work arrangement. There are three critical assumptions made about ...
Graph-based Incomplete LU Preconditioning Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for “N-1” Contingency Analysis
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
With the rapid-growing penetration of sustainable energy and distributed generation, the increased size and complexity has challenged the contingency analysis of the present power system. Meanwhile, the current electric ...
Optimal Power Flow for Unbalanced Distribution Networks with Distributed Generation Integration
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The distribution systems are usually of high complexity with a large system scale and varieties of load types. Moreover, they are also expanding at an unbelievable rate in terms of complexity. The world faces a significant ...
Adaptive and Intelligent Software-Radio Design for Robust Wireless Communications in Challenging Environments
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The proliferation of wireless devices and the communication networks that enable them has created profound societal impact in recent years. As engineers and researchers look to build more capable and reliable communication ...
Advancing Groundwater Restoration Research with Oral History Content, Methods, and Analysis
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Despite great efforts and advancements in Groundwater remediation/restoration (GR) since the passage of the Superfund legislation in the U.S., many sites have still have not been cleaned up to drinking water standards or ...
Synthesis of Star and Network Architectures from Reactive Molecular Bottlebrushes
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The development of smart materials using branched architectures requires robust synthetic methods. Several approaches have been investigated to access cross-linked structures or self-assembled organizations using bottlebrush ...
