Angiogenic Supports For Microvascular Engineering, Zain Siddiqui Dec 2022

Angiogenic Supports For Microvascular Engineering, Zain Siddiqui

Dissertations

Ischemic tissue disease is caused by a lack of circulation / blood supply to tissue. This can be treated by introducing a number of angiogenic (pro-blood vessel forming) factors into the tissue. This work presents strategies for ischemic tissue treatment utilizing a novel proangiogenic self-assembling peptide hydrogel platform. To demonstrate the utility of this platform, its use alone as an angiogenic therapeutic (both alone as a self-assembling hydrogel and with two-component systems), and its ability to vascularize implants is explored. Due to these angiogenic scaffolds demonstrating efficacy to regenerate microvasculature, this work evaluates diseases that can be treated by the …

On The Asymptotic Behavior Of Solutions Of The Sturm-Liouville Equation With An Oscillating Potential, Bashkir State University, Ufa, Russia, Aigul R. Sagitova, Anfisa V. Shakirova, M. Akmullah Bashkir State Pedagogical University, Ufa, Russia, Yaudat T. Sultanaev

Baku Mathematical Journal

In the article we consider the Sturm-Liouville equation −y ′′+(q(x)+h(x))y = 0, 0 ≤ x < +∞, where q(x) satisfies the conditions of regularity of growth at infinity and h(x) is a fast-oscillating function. Sufficient conditions are found under which the asymptotics of solutions of the equation is determined only by the function q(x). A new method for obtaining asymptotic formulas for solutions is proposed, consisting in the standard replacement of the equation by a system of first-order equations followed by the application of the Hausdorff identity [1]

The ability to biosynthesize oxalic acid can provide beneficial functions to plants; however, uncontrolled or prolonged exposure to this strong organic acid results in multiple physiological problems. Such problems include a disruption of membrane integrity, mitochondrial function, metal chelation, and free radical formation. Recent work suggests that a CoA-dependent pathway of oxalate catabolism plays a critical role in regulating tissue oxalate concentrations in plants. Although this CoA-dependent pathway of oxalate catabolism is important, large gaps in our knowledge of the enzymes catalyzing each step remain. Evidence that an oxalyl-CoA decarboxylase (OXC) catalyzes the second step in this pathway, accelerating the …

Overdispersion Models For Clustered Toxicological Data In A Bioassay Of Entomopathogenic Fungus, Silvia Maria De Freitas, Lida Fallah, Clarice G.B. Demétrio, John P. Hinde

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

We consider discrete mortality data for groups of individuals observed over time. The fitting of cumulative mortality curves as a function of time involves the longitudinal modelling of the multinomial response. Typically such data exhibit overdispersion, that is greater variation than predicted by the multinomial dis-tribution. To model the extra-multinomial variation (overdispersion) we consider a Dirichlet-multinomial model, a random intercept model and a random intercept and slope model. We construct asymptotic and robust covariance matrix estimators for the regression parameter standard errors. Applying this model to a specific insect bioassay of the fungus Beauveria bassiana, we note some simple relationships …
