On multi-objective optimization of geometry of staggered herringbone micromixer
(2009-07)A design methodology for micromixers is presented which systematically integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with an optimization methodology based on the use of design of experiments (DOE), function approximation ... -
A model Type Theory for Formalizing Trusted Communications
(2012-03-01)This paper introduces a multi-modal polymorphic typetheory to model epistemic processes characterized by trust, defined as a second-order relation affecting the communication process between sources and a receiver. In this ... -

Striatal plasticity in Parkinson's disease and L-DOPA induced dyskinesia
(2012-01-18)Striatal function adapts to the loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic input in Parkinson's disease (PD) to initially maintain voluntary movement, but subsequently changes in response to drug treatment leading to the onset of ... -
Effects of amphetamine on carrier-mediated and electrically stimulated dopamine release in slices of rat caudate-putamen abd nucleus-accumbens
(1995-03)The effects of (+)-amphetamine on carrier-mediated and electrically stimulated dopamine release were investigated using fast cyclic voltammetry in rat brain slices incorporating the nucleus accumbens, and in the caudate ... -
The electrostatic nature of the spore of Pasteuria penetrans, the bacterial parasite of root-knot nematodes
(1995-09)The response of spores of Pasteuria penetrans, the Gram-positive obligate nematode hyperparasite, was studied in a direct current electric field and monitored using a microscope attached to a video recorder apparatus. ... -
In vitro recognition of a 190 kda putative attachment receptor from the cuticle of Meloidogyne javanica by Pasteuria penetrans spore extract
(1994)Studies were undertaken to develop an improved understanding of the mechanism by which spores of Pasteuria penetrans bind to the cuticle of susceptible nematode hosts. A polyclonal antibody recognized an antigenic ladder ... -
Presence of Neuropeptide-y in the rat seminal-vesicle and its effects on Noradrenaline-induced and nerve-induced contractions.
(1994-11)1 Immunohistochemical and functional studies have been performed to localize and determine the effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the rat seminal vesicle. 2 An abundant presence of NPY-immunoreactive nerves, mainly ... -

(1993)Law enforcement is a highly stressful occupation, although the primary stressors involved are different from what might be expected. These stressors, and police officers' responses to them, were examined from the perspective ... -
Endospore heterogeneity in Pasteuria-Penetrans related to adhesion to plant-parasitic nematodes
(1994-11)Hybridoma cell lines were screened by indirect immunofluorescence for the secretion of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to the surface of a population of endospores of the obligate nematode hyperparasite Pasteuria penetrans. ... -
Characterization of resistance breaking Meloidogyne-ingognita-like populations using lectins, monoclonal-antibodies and spores of Pasteuria-penetrans
(1994)Six single eggmass lines of Meloidogyne, originating from populations collected in the Ivory Coast which showed a particular esterase phenotype (coded pVI) and an ability to overcome the resistance conferred by the Mi gene, ... -
