Hemodynamic Assessment of Bicuspid Aortic Valves as a Clinical Diagnostic Tool
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-18)Bicuspid Aortic Valves (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac defect occurring in approximately 1-2% of the newborn population in the USA. This defect results from the presence of two leaflets, typically unequal-sized, ... -
Inducing a thermogenic response to cold shock in Escherichia coli
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-18)Microorganisms respond to environmental stress through several means for survival. This research project aims to engineer Escherichia coli cells to generate heat in response to a cold-shock. Altering a cell’s reaction to ... -
The Undergraduate Research Kaleidoscope Fall 2010
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-18)Individuals suffering from Friedrich’s ataxia, a neuromuscular hereditary disease, have expansions of the DNA triplet repeat GAA/TTC in their genomic DNA. Preliminary investigations into the disease point to the ability ... -
Study of Shear Induced Blood Damage in a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-18)Approximately 225,000 prosthetic heart valves are implanted each year worldwide, and about 50% of these are mechanical heart valves (MHVs). It is well established that present day MHVs are associated with a certain level ... -
RNA Secondary Structure Prediction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-18)Our task has been to calculate the probability of any two nucleotides pairing in an RNA molecule. When RNA goes into the cytoplasm of a cell, the RNA folds in on itself to a thermodynamically stable state, since unpaired ... -
Nanocomposite Strain Sensors
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-03-16)This study explores the use of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) reinforced with vapor-grown carbon fibers (VGCF) as a strain sensor. The operational principal of the nanocomposite sensors with VGCF content above the percolation ... -
