Near-ultraviolet circular dichroism and two-dimensional spectroscopy of polypeptides (2021)
Journal Article

A fully quantitative theory of the relationship between protein conformation and optical spectroscopy would facilitate deeper insights into biophysical and simulation studies of protein dynamics and folding. In contrast to intense bands in the far-ul... Read More about Near-ultraviolet circular dichroism and two-dimensional spectroscopy of polypeptides.

A Genetic Optimization Resampling Based Particle Filtering Algorithm for Indoor Target Tracking (2021)
Journal Article

In indoor target tracking based on wireless sensor networks, the particle filtering algorithm has been widely used because of its outstanding performance in coping with highly non-linear problems. Resampling is generally required to address the inher... Read More about A Genetic Optimization Resampling Based Particle Filtering Algorithm for Indoor Target Tracking.

Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows (2021)

Droplet digital PCR-based detection of circulating tumor DNA from pediatric high grade and diffuse midline glioma patients (2021)
Journal Article

Background The use of liquid biopsy is of potential high importance for children with high grade (HGG) and diffuse midline gliomas (DMG), particularly where surgical procedures are limited, and invasive biopsy sampling not without risk. To date, how... Read More about Droplet digital PCR-based detection of circulating tumor DNA from pediatric high grade and diffuse midline glioma patients.

Nitrergic modulation of ion channel function in regulating neuronal excitability (2021)
Journal Article

Nitric oxide (NO) signaling in the brain provides a wide range of functional properties in response to neuronal activity. NO exerts its effects through different signaling pathways, namely, through the canonical soluble guanylyl cyclase-mediated cGMP...
