We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer Zipper Pouch brushes.We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties.Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV Hock
In an effort to characterize perceptions of learning community and engagement in relation to success for underrepresented populations of online learners at a public institution in southeastern United States, a survey was conducted in Spring 2016.The results of the survey were paired with institutional data to create a baseline engagement and learni
Abstract Background Tumor resistance represents a major challenge in the current oncology landscape.Asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) overexpression correlates with worse prognosis and reduced overall survival in most human solid tumors.However, the underlying mechanisms of the connection between AEP and reduced overall survival in cancer patients rem
In a real-world application, the images taken by different cameras with different conditions often incur illumination variation, low-resolution, different poses, blur, etc., which leads to a large distribution difference or gap between training (source) and test (target) images.This distribution gap is challenging for many primitive machine learnin
Soybean production in the southern Great Plains (SGP) Sway Bar faces challenges due to yield-limiting factors, including high temperatures and inconsistent precipitation.These conditions can lead to excess vegetative growth, similar to what occurs in crops like cotton.Management strategies utilizing plant growth regulators (PGRs) have been applied
