2012 Laird Fellow
(University of Delaware, 2012-06-01)The prestigious fellowship honors the memory of George W. Laird, a UD mechanical engineering graduate who died in an accident at the age of 35. Given since 1997, it is bestowed upon candidates who exhibit character, ... -
A Novel Equilibrium Passive Sampler for Methylmercury and Other Advances in Monitoring and Activated Carbon Remediation for Mercury and PCBs
(2018-01-01)The ecological and human health risks posed by persistent sediment contaminants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and methylmercury (MeHg) are often controlled by their bioavailability at low trophic levels. Benthic ... -
The Acidity of Atmospheric Particles and Clouds
(EGU, 2019-10-18)Acidity, defined as pH, is a central component of aqueous chemistry. In the atmosphere, the acidity of condensed phases (aerosol particles, cloud water, and fog droplets) governs the phase partitioning of semi-volatile ... -
Adaptive Constrained Independent Vector Analysis: Application to Large-Scale fMRI Analysis
(2020-01-20)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides non-invasive indirect measures of neuronal activation in the brain. Analysis of large-scale fMRI datasets, acquired from a large pool of individuals, has become prominent ... -
Adsorption of furan, hexanoic acid, and alkanes in a hierarchical zeolite at reaction conditions: insights from molecular simulations
(Elsevier, 2020-11-27)Hierarchical zeolites containing both micropores and mesopores are valuable catalysts for facilitating reactions of large molecules. Furan acylation by fatty acids is a promising reaction for valorizing biomass, and the ... -
AI Descartes: Combining Data and Theory for Derivable Scientific Discovery
(2021-10-08)Scientists have long aimed to discover meaningful formulae which accurately describe experimental data. One common approach is to manually create mathematical models of natural phenomena using domain knowledge, then fit ... -
Altered secretion patterns and cell wall organization caused by loss of PodB function in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans
(Nature, 2018-07-30)Filamentous fungi are widely used in the production of a variety of industrially relevant enzymes and proteins as they have the unique ability to secrete tremendous amounts of proteins. However, the secretory pathways ... -

(Springer Nature Publishing AG., 2018-07-30)Filamentous fungi are widely used in the production of a variety of industrially relevant enzymes and proteins as they have the unique ability to secrete tremendous amounts of proteins. However, the secretory pathways in ... -
Altered structural and mechanical properties in decellularized rabbit carotid arteries
(Elsevier B.V, 2008-12-11)Recently, major achievements in creating decellularized whole tissue scaffolds have drawn considerable attention to decellularization as a promising approach for tissue engineering. Decellularized tissues are expected ... -
American Chemical Society honors UMBC’s Lee Blaney for commitment to mentoring student researchers

Analysis of subsurface storage and streamflow generation in urban watersheds
(Wiley, 2015-01-21)Subsurface storage as a regulator of streamflow was investigated as an explanation for the large proportion of pre‐event water observed in urban streams during storm events. We used multiple lines of inquiry to explore the ... -
Analytical solution for a hybrid Logistic‐Monod cell growth model in batch and continuous stirred tank reactor culture
(Wiley, 2019-11-23)Monod and Logistic growth models have been widely used as basic equations to describe cell growth in bioprocess engineering. In the case of the Monod equation, the specific growth rate is governed by a limiting nutrient, ... -
Analyzing Two-Dimensional Gel Images

ANEROBIC DECHLORINATION KINETICS OF POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS AND THE EFFECTS OF BLACK CARBON
(2019-01-01)Despite four decades since the ban on new commercial use and production, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) continue to persist in the environment with risk to human health and the ecosystem. Monitoring in a waste water ... -
Application of High Throughput Bioreactors for Subclone Selection
(2008-10-22)The demand for monoclonal antibodies in pharmaceutical drug production requires the highest technology be invested in obtaining a stable, high producing cell line. Currently the most common method of selection is by limiting ... -
Applying chemical reaction transition theory to predict the latent transmission dynamics of coronavirus outbreak in China
(2020-02-25)The recent outbreak of the Covid-19 suggests a rather long latent phase that precludes public health officials to predict the pandemic transmission on time. Here we apply mass action laws and chemical transition theory to ... -
The Aspergillus fumigatus Phosphoproteome Reveals Roles of High-Osmolarity Glycerol Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases in Promoting Cell Wall Damage and Caspofungin Tolerance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-02-04)The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus can cause a distinct set of clinical disorders in humans. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is the most common life-threatening fungal disease of immunocompromised humans. The ... -
Aspergillus nidulans Septa Are Indispensable for Surviving Cell Wall Stress
(ASM, 2022-02-02)Septation in filamentous fungi is a normal part of development, which involves the formation of cross-hyphal bulkheads, typically containing pores, allowing cytoplasmic streaming between compartments. Based on previous ... -
Assessment of Elasticity and Topography of Aspergillus nidulans Spores via Atomic Force Microscopy
