Flow Cytometry-Assisted Detection of Adenosine in Serum with an Immobilized Aptamer Sensor
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-15)Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that can selectively bind to essentially any molecule of choice. Because of their high stability, low cost, ease of modification, and availability through selection, aptamers hold ... -
Fluctuation correction for the critical transition of symmetric homopolymer blends
(AIP, 2017-07)Monte Carlo simulations are performed on structurally symmetric binary homopolymer blends over a wide range of invariant polymerization indexes, N. A finite-size scaling analysis reveals that certain critical exponents ... -
Fluctuation effects in blends of A+B homopolymers with AB diblock copolymer
(AIP, 2018-05)Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) are performed on ternary blends of A- and B-type homopolymers of polymerization N_h and symmetric AB diblock copolymer of polymerization N_c. Unlike previous studies, our FTS are conducted ... -
Fluid-present anatexis of Neoarchean tonalite and amphibolite in the Western Shandong Province
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Metatonalite and amphibolite from the Taishan region of the Western Shandong Province in the North China Craton record c. 2.60 Ga fluid-present partial melting via the breakdown of biotite, plagioclase and quartz to produce ... -
Fluorescent sensors using DNA-functionalized graphene oxide
(Springer, 2014-07-02)In the past few years, graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as a unique platform for developing DNA-based biosensors, given the DNA adsorption and fluorescence-quenching properties of GO. Adsorbed DNA probes can be desorbed ... -
Fluorescently Labeled Latex Particles to Monitor Film Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-25)The influence of the length of an oligo(ethylene glycol) spacer (EGn, where n is the number of ethylene glycol units) in a 1-pyrenemethoxy-EGn methacrylate (PyEG-MA) monomer on the incorporation of the monomer into a ... -
Fluoride Removal from Contaminated Water by Limestone Reactor and Phosphate Rock Reactor
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-05)Fluorosis, which results in mottling of teeth enamel, softening of bones, ossification of tendons and ligaments, and even neurologic damage, is endemic in many mid-latitude regions. It is caused by the long-term ingestion ... -
Fluoxetine Does Not Enhance Visual Perceptual Learning and Triazolam Specifically Impairs Learning Transfer
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-19)The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine significantly enhances adult visual cortex plasticity within the rat. This effect is related to decreased gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated inhibition and identifies ... -
Fold-and-thrust belt deformation of the Hongliuhe Group: a Permian tectonic closure record of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, NW China
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)The Early Permian strata of the Hongliuhe Group, NW China, experienced a thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt style of deformation that recorded the final stages of amalgamation of the Beishan orogenic collage, a part of the ... -
Folding and Stability Studies on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Associated apo Cu, Zn Superoxide dismutases
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating, incurable, neurodegenerative disease characterized by degradation of motor neurons leading to paralysis and ultimately death in ~3-5 years. Approximately 10% of ALS ... -
