Combined effects of competition and herbivory limit population growth and spread of Cirsium vulgare: Demographic comparison of an introduced thistle with its native congener
(2011-08)Background/Question/Methods The European Cirsium vulgare is an invasive species worldwide, but in Nebraska it has remained at very low densities for over 200 years. The leading hypothesis is that pre-adapted, specialized ... -
Gene delivery with PCL nanofiber in vitro
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2013-05-08)Gene therapy has widely been known to be the promising treatment approach for many diseases, whether acquired or inherited through a genetic disorder. Viral and nonviral vectors are the primary research fields of gene ... -
High soil nitrogen levels and insect herbivory suppress tall thistle (Cirsium altissimum) rosette survival
(2012-08)Background/Question/Methods The effect of herbivores on plant performance is often highly variable and the causes of this variability are poorly explained for many herbivore-host plant interactions. Many of the proposed ... -
Il-21 vector-tethering nanofibers for cancer treatment including osteosarcoma
(Society for Biomaterials, 2019-05)The first line of treatment regime for bone cancers including osteosarcoma is surgical removal of the primary tumor, scaffold and/or bone fillers are required to fill the bone void during the surgery. Development and ... -
Interactive effects of insects, mammals, and soil fertility on grassland plant community structure
(2014-08)Background/Question/Methods Herbivory is expected to have important effects on grassland plant community structure and biomass. However, the effects of herbivores may be mitigated by plant resource availability, which ... -
A multi-tier data mining workflow to analyze the age related shift from diglycosylated- to tetra-glycosylated-FSH secretion by the anterior pituitary
(ACM, 2010)FSH is a glycoprotein hormone secreted as two major glycosylation variants by the anterior pituitary, which regulates reproduction in adults. As FSH consists of two functionally significant glycoforms, differentially ... -
Native grass establishment through seed addition in a southeast Kansas oak savanna restoration
(2013-08)Background/Question/Methods Globally, woody plant population expansion threatens savannas. Restoring savannas from woodlands can involve tree thinning, but often the herbaceous understory is non-existent and potential ... -
Prediction in novel thistle-insect interactions: challenges of phenological and spatial variation
(2014-11)Quantitative outcomes of insect herbivore-plant interactions typically vary spatially and temporally. Prediction of where and when insects will impose significant damage, or mediate indirect interactions among plants is ... -
Seed addition and spatial heterogeneity in grass establishment in a restored Kansas oak savanna
(2010-08)Background/Question/Methods Compared to their historical extent, oak savannas at the forest-prairie transition in the Midwestern United States are greatly reduced, in part, due to tree encroachment that produced closed ... -
Systematic data integration platform for functional glycomics
(AMC, 2010)Glycomics is a discipline of biology that deals with the structure and function of glycans (or carbohydrates). Analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are having a ...
