Lung cancer is responsible for a large proportion of cancer-related deaths across the globe, with delayed detection being perhaps the most significant factor for its high mortality rate. Though the National Lung Screening Trial argues for screening o...
This paper presents a fully coupled electro-hydraulic model of a bio-inspired climbing robot actuated by fluidic artificial muscles (FAMs). This analysis expands upon previous FAM literature by considering not only the force and contraction character...

Some microbes possess the ability to adaptively manipulate host behavior. To better understand how such microbial parasites control animal behavior, we examine the cell-level interactions between the species-specific fungal parasite and its carpente...
A novel dual-site recognition protocol was developed for chemiluminescent (CL) detection of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) based on a designed antibiotic-affinity strategy. Teicoplanin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria, wa...
Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) is known to promote osteogenesis. To find novel adjuvants to enhance the activity of BMP-2, the present study investigated the structure BMP-2-induced osteogenic activity of a water-soluble polysaccharide from the g...
BACKGROUND: Understanding the neural substrate of information encoding and processing requires a precise control of the animal's behavior. Most of what has been learned from the rodent navigational system results from relatively simple tasks in which...

Pathway similarity search plays a vital role in the post-genomics era. Unfortunately, pathway similarity search involves the graph isomorphism problem which is NP-complete. Therefore, efficient search algorithms are desirable. In this work, we propos...
Many automatically analyzable scientific questions are well-posed and a variety of information about expected outcomes is available a priori. Although often neglected, this prior knowledge can be systematically exploited to make automated analysis op...
