Myogenic constriction in arterioles occurs when membrane tension leads to smooth muscle depolarization and voltage-gated calcium channel activation. A barrier to understanding the exact signaling events is the limited ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] When measuring fluorescence emission intensity, both the dye concentration and the optical absorption properties of the solvent influence the measured intensity. As a consequence...

Molecular rotors exhibit viscosity-dependent quantum yield, potentially allowing measurements of fluid viscosity in non-mechanical manner. Several diseases are accompanied by blood plasma viscosity changes; therefore, a ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The increasing use and availability of micro and nanoparticles for use in science, technology and daily consumer products has led to unique challenges related to understanding...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Mixtures of soy protein isolate (SPI), defatted soy flour, and wheat flour were extruded at 34% (w.b.) moisture using a twin-screw extruder. A 3x3x3 factorial experiment with two...

In the industrial countries, the mortality from arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases has been decreased, but they remain the most common circulatory disease. Recently, new tissue engineering technologies such as ...

Many disease states have associated blood viscosity changes. Molecular rotors, fluorescent molecules with viscosity sensitive quantum yields, have recently been investigated as a new method for biofluid viscosity measurement. ...

Photosynthesis is not only vital for plant growth and survival but also indicative of plant-environment interactions. This research was designed to analyze photoelectron kinetics and its dependence on environmental factors. ...
