Matthew C. Gonnerman
Methane is a clean-burning renewable resource that is often overlooked as a potential bioenergy source. Methane already has a well established infrastructure and many uses ranging from fuel for certain forms of transportation to heating homes. Methanosarcina barkeri has the ability to produce...

Stochastic Simulations of the Tetracycline Operon

Nov 9, 2010
Konstantinos Biliouris
The tetracycline (tet) operon is a robust self-regulated system. It is found naturally in bacteria where it confers resistance to antibiotic tetracycline. Because of the performance of the molecular elements (promoters, operators, repressor) of the tetracycline operon, these elements are widely...

Nov 9, 2010
Nicolas Heigl
This study evaluates the feasibility of a combined use of small-wide angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) and Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive process analytical tool (PAT) for the analysis of pharmaceutical granulation and compression procedures. Placebo formulations containing Lactose monohydrate (...

Optimizing and Controlling High Value Processes Using the Principles of Quality-by-Design (QbD) Advanced Tools Such as Real-Time in-Situ Particle Characterization, in-Situ Mid-Infrared Spectrometry, and Reaction Calorimetry

Nov 9, 2010
Leen Schellekens
Quality by Design (QbD) is a concept applied to gain true process understanding utilizing tools such as Design of Experiment (DoE), Risk Management, and Process Analytical Technology (PAT). Utilization of these principles and tools not only allow the chemist, engineer, or formulator to optimize a...

Gene Regulation by MAPK Substrate Competition

Nov 9, 2010
Yoosik Kim
Introduction Traditional view of pattern formation in the early Drosophila embryo is essentially one-dimensional: The anterior, posterior, and terminal systems initiate the formation of bands and stripes of gene expression along the AP axis; at the same time, the orthogonal gradient of Dorsal (Dl)...
