Microenvironment-Mediated Modeling of Tumor Response to Vascular-Targeting Drugs
(Kiuwer, 2016)The tumor-associated microvasculature is one of the key elements of the microenvironment that helps shape, and is shaped by, tumor progression. Given the important role of the vasculature in tumor progression, and the fact ... -
Microenvironmental Niches and Sanctuaries: A Route to Acquired Resistance
(Kiuwer, 2016)A tumor vasculature that is functionally abnormal results in irregular gradients of metabolites and drugs within the tumor tissue. Recently, significant efforts have been committed to experimentally examine how cellular ... -
Microparticles in Three Dimensional Thrombus Formation
(2015)Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot under pathological conditions. The growth of thrombi may be accelerated by the presence of circulating cell-derived vesicles, termed microparticles (MPs). Previous studies have ... -
Microviscosity in Multiple Regions of Complex Aqueous Solutions of Poly(ethylene oxide)-Poly(propylene oxide)-Poly(ethylene oxide)
(American Chemical Society, 2005) -
Milton’s Comus in Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho
(Taylor & Francis, 2014) -
Miniaturized microstrip patch antennas for IoT applications
(2022)IoT refers to an endless network of devices all connected to the internet. With the continuously shrinking size of devices needing access to this IoT, the miniaturization of their antennas has become imperative. IoT uses ... -
Minimal model of directed cell motility on patterned substrates
(American Physical Society, 2017-11)Crawling cell motility is vital to many biological processes such as wound healing and the immune response. Using a minimal model we investigate the effects of patterned substrate adhesiveness and biophysical cell parameters ... -
Mining and Analyzing Circulation and ILL Data for Informed Collection Development
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2015)The authors investigated quantitative methods of collection use analysis employing library data that are available in ILS and ILL systems to better understand library collection use and user needs. For the purpose of the ... -
The missing link: context loss in online databases
(Elsevier, 2005-11)Full-text databases do not allow for the complexity of the interaction of the human eye and brain with printed matter. As a result, both content and context may be lost. The authors propose additional indexing fields that ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Fuzzy and Time Petri nets:Toward a Binary Coded Robot Route (BiCRoR) Algorithm
(2014)With the growing complexity of the development of robotic systems, it is not easy to model and simulate behaviors of such structures. Petri nets (PNs) are optimal for design and implementation of these systems due to their ... -
Modeling keratinocyte wound healing dynamics: cell–cell adhesion promotes sustained collective migration
(Elsevier, 2016-07-07)The in vitro migration of keratinocyte cell sheets displays behavioral and biochemical similarities to the in vivo wound healing response of keratinocytes in animal model systems. In both cases, ligand-dependent Epidermal ... -
Modeling of axonal block induced by extracellular potassium accumulation in hippocampal CA1 region
(2016)Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a therapy widely applicable to treat neurological disorders, however its mechanism of action is not fully understood. One hypothesis is depolarization blockage resulted from extracellular ... -
Modeling space radiation induced bone loss in rat femurs through finite element analysis
(2016)Spaceflight leaves astronauts at risk for negative consequences to bone health. A long term mission of NASA has been to send a manned mission to mars. Taking over a month for astronauts to reach Mars, long term effects ... -
Modeling the effects of vasculature evolution on early brain tumor growth
(Elsevier, 7/15/2006)Mathematical modeling of both tumor growth and angiogenesis have been active areas of research for the past several decades. Such models can be classified into one of two categories: those that analyze the remodeling of ... -
Modeling the prescription opioid epidemic
(Springer, 2019-04-22)Opioid addiction has become a global epidemic and a national health crisis in recent years, with the number of opioid overdose fatalities steadily increasing since the 1990s. In contrast to the dynamics of a typical illicit ... -
Modeling, simulation and analysis of autonomous robot navigation algorithms using Fuzzy Petri nets
(The International Society for Computers and Their Applications (ISCA), 2015) -
Modified Birch Reduction for the Introductory Undergraduate Organic Laboratory
(American Chemical Society, 2014)The Birch reduction is a reaction commonly taught in the second-year undergraduate organic curriculum that involves the reduction of an aromatic compound to an alicyclic product using sodium metal and liquid ammonia. The ... -
Modifying membrane permeability with ionic liquids
(2017)Room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) have been proven to have a range of biological applications, from influencing protein folding and structural stability, to affecting enzyme activity, to modifying the permeability profile ... -
Morphological evolution of an anadromous threespine stickleback population within one generation after reintroduction to Cheney Lake, Alaska
(Evolutionary Ecology, 2016)Background: In 2009, anadromous threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were stocked in Cheney Lake, Alaska, following treatment with the ichthyocide rotenone to remove invasive northern pike (Esox lucius), but ... -
Most compact parsimonious trees
(2016)Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a set of species, represented in the form of a tree. Construction of phylogenetic trees has traditionally focused on binary trees where all species appear on leaves. However, certain ...
