Open-Channel Capillary Trees and Capillary Pumping by Jing J. Lee (5136863)

“…Rules for obtaining better designs of capillary pumps are proposed; specifically, we find (1) when using a capillary tree with identical channel cross-sectional areas throughout, it is possible to maintain nearly constant flow rates throughout the channel network, (2) flow rate can be increased at each branch point of a capillary tree by slightly decreasing the areas of the channel cross section and decreasing the channel lengths at each level of ramification within the tree, and (3) higher order branching (trifurcations vs bifurcations) amplify the flow rate effect. …”

Validation of selected genes associated with p53 connection pathway was carried out using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western immunoblotting. by Mei Yi Sim (4067998)

“…(D) FOXO1 mRNA levels were increased by ~2.4 fold at 24 h and ~1.8 fold at 48 h at both test concentrations. ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001. (E) The protein expression of survivin reduced slightly while a dose-dependent decrease in ID1 and increase in FOXO1 and CYLD were observed with 24 h exposure to YM155 in RCC786.0 cells.…”

Collapse regime, hysteresis, and recovery of plant–pollinator mutualistic networks. by Gaurav Baruah (7257587)

“…However, as the environmental conditions are restored gradually, i.e., <i>γ</i>₀ is increased slowly (dark green points), network recovery does not materialize as the system stays at the undesirable low-functioning state (dark green points) and thus exhibits hysteresis. …”

Categorization of the genes differentially expressed in the <i>Otx2</i> CKO retina. by Yoshihiro Omori (221477)

“…<p>According to gene ontology (GO) term annotation, the genes differentially expressed in the <i>Otx2</i> CKO retinas at P1 and P12 were categorized into functional groups. We used GO term data on 101 probes with decreased expression in the <i>Otx2</i> CKO at P1 (signal log ratio ≤−1.0, signal intensity ≥50), 36 probes with increased expression in the <i>Otx2</i> CKO at P1 (signal log ratio ≥+0.5, signal intensity ≥50), 241 probes with decreased expression in the <i>Otx2</i> CKO at P12 (signal log ratio ≤−2.5, signal intensity ≥100), and 121 probes with increased expression in the <i>Otx2</i> CKO at P12 (signal log ratio ≥+2.5, signal intensity ≥100).…”
