Determining the Specific Transition Needs of Military and Veteran Students (MVS), A Qualitative/Mixed Methods Study
… challenges await military and veteran students (MVS) as they make their way to college campuses. These non-traditional students will transition to an environment different from the one they experienced while serving. This problem exists because a majority of the post-secondary schools across the …

Theory of planned behavior to predict multivitamin/mineral use
… to use multivitamin/mineral supplements (MVS). This study aimed to determine the relationship between FCLR salient beliefs, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control (PBC) towards MVS, intention to use MVS, and use of MVS. Subjects were recruited from sixteen collegiate …

Development of novel isolation methodologies for microvesicles and exosomes, as potential biomarkers for health (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes), and use of microvesicle-delivered β-Gly in erythroleukaemia
Both MVs and exosomes are isolated by similar methodologies such as differential centrifugation of cell culture supernatant (S/N), filtration, floating on chemical gradients or using antibody labelled magnetic beads. Hence, the isolation techniques, commonly in use, provide low levels of …

The role of PADs in the biogenesis of prostate cancer microvesicles which play a dysfunctional role on DC biology and the therapeutic potential of skeletal muscle microvesicles on prostate cancer cells
Microvesicles (MVs) are small, plasma membrane derived vesicles that are shed constitutively or upon activation from both normal and malignant cells. Apart from physiological roles, MVs have also been implicated to play a role in various pathologies particularly cancer. Aspects of MV biogenesis and …

The role of microvesicles in EMT and tumour microenvironment
… The influence of leukaemia cell derived-MVs in this study was determined on normal prostate epithelial cell lines. PNT2 cells were treated with Jurkat cell derived-MVs lost epithelial characteristic (decreased epithelial marker E-cadherin) and gained mesenchymal phenotype (increased …

The role of prostate cancer microvesicles in epithelial mesenchymal transition
Microvesicles (MVs) are shed to the extracellular environment upon activation by both normal and diseased cells. Increasing evidence has shown that cancer cellderived MVs carry pathogenic components, such as proteins, messenger RNAs, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, DNAs, lipids, and …

Gene Delivery to the Blood-Brain Barrier for Ischemic Stroke Therapy
… P84 (P84) and exosomes (EXOs) / microvesicles (MVs)) to deliver brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plasmid DNA (pDNA), a functional gene encoding a neurotrophin. In the first project, our data showed that DNA nanoparticles (NPs) with 0.03% P84 was a promising formulation to deliver …

Direct Manipulation Techniques for Creation of Multiple-View Visualizations
… data visualizations lack specific support for MVs, making the process of creating such visuals cumbersome for users. I draw on the concepts of direct manipulation, in which users interact with objects in the visual to enact desired changes, to develop new methods of creating MVs that are more …

Tissue Transglutaminase And Its Role In Human Cancer Progression
… filament protein keratin-19. Microvesicles (MVs) derived from human cancer cells are receiving a good deal of attention because of their ability to participate in the transfer of signaling proteins between cancer cells and to contribute to their invasive activity. Here I show that MVs may …

Biochemical and physiological analysis of microvesicle subtypes
… vesicles: in particular microvesicles (MVs). The characterisation utilised novel applications of existing protocols, demonstrated for the first time within this thesis, resulting in an up-to-date and greatly improved series of techniques for the analysis of microvesicles. Application of …

Gain Conditioning for Linear Model Predictive Control
… adjustments in multiple manipulated variables (MVs) to ensure that operating constraints are obeyed and that controlled variables (CVs) are maintained near their setpoints. Industrial practitioners who develop MPC applications are interested in preventing erratic behavior of MPCs, which can be …

Efficient IC statistical modeling and extraction using a Bayesian inference framework
… transistor model, called the MIT virtual source (MVS) model, and a Bayesian extraction method. Based on statistical formulations extended from the MVS model, we propose algorithms for three applications that greatly reduce time and cost required for measurement of on-chip test structures and …

Exploring Host-Pathogen Interactions: Tracking SARS-CoV-2 evolution and assessing immune modulation exerted by Staphylococcus aureus membrane vesicles
… il ruolo delle vescicole di membrana batteriche (MVs) nelle interazioni ospite-patogeno rappresentano ambiti di ricerca cruciali nelle malattie infettive. Questo studio combina due indagini distinte: l'evoluzione di SARS-CoV-2 e l'impatto immunologico delle MVs di Staphylococcus aureus. …

On the Role of Polyamines and Microvesicles in Tumour Development. Regulation by Hypoxia and Implications for Therapeutic Intervention of Cancer.
… and tumour cell-derived microvesicles (MVs), both of which have been associated with tumour development. It was initially demonstrated that epitope-specific interference of cell surface heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) by anti-HS antibodies inhibits the bioavailability of exogenous …

Direct neuronal and microglia-mediated effects of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory processes
… through the release of microvesicles (MVs). These have been shown to represent a more recent mode of intercellular communication and are extracellular vesicles, with a diameter of 100-1000 nm, that bud from the plasma membrane of cell of origin. MVs have been described in microglia …

An evaluation process for material handling systems within FMS
… In particular, automated guided vehicle systems (MVS) are studied from a technical viewpoint, as they are related to strategic and economic considerations. Two main evaluation frameworks are developed. One integrates multiattribute decision models, namely, the analytic hierarchy process or AHP and …

Examining Unstable Approach Predictors Using Flight Data Monitoring Information
… several possible moderating variables (MVs) may affect the probability of a UA. Fortunately, modern jet transport aircraft have Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) systems that capture a wealth of information that enable the analysis of these EM variables. This study used FDM data to answer the …

Accurate, fast, and robust 3D city-scale reconstruction using wide area motion imagery
Multi-view stereopsis (MVS) is a core problem in computer vision, which takes a set of scene views together with known camera poses, then produces a geometric representation of the underlying 3D model Using 3D reconstruction one can determine any object's 3D profile, as well as knowing the 3D …

Seepage of hydrocarbon bearing fluids at the Carlos Ribeiro and Darwin mud volcanoes (Gulf of Cadiz)
… other elements into the ocean. Mud volcanoes (MVs) occur in abundance on all oceanic plate margins, so fluxes of methane (CH4) and other chemical constituents from mud volcanism are likely to be significant for the oceanic budgets of some elements. Here, I present a detailed study of the …

Impact of human blood plasma-derived protein corona on extracellular vesicle uptake
… ca 50-100 nm in diameter and microvesicles (MVs), ca 100-1000 nm in diameter, having different intracellular origin, are the two main subpopulations of EVs. EVs have been demonstrated to carry a range of proteins and nucleic acids subsequently delivered to recipient cells, making them …
