Sustainability, Empowerment, and Resident Attitudes toward Tourism: Developing and Testing the Resident Empowerment through Tourism Scale (RETS)
Research on resident attitudes towards tourism and sustainability are two of the most ubiquitous and important topics within tourism research. This study sought to contribute to these fields of research in four specific ways. First, this study suggested Weber's theory of formal and substantive …

Structural and Functional Studies of Sensor Kinase RetS from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Peptidoglycan Hydrolase SleB from Bacillus anthracis
Part I: Signaling Role of the Sensor Kinase RetS in Biofilm formation Regulation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-<br />The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes both acute and chronic infections in predisposed individuals. Acute infections require a functional Type Three Secretion …

Structural Studies of the Bacterial Histidine Kinases RetS and GacS, Key Components of the Multikinase Network that Controls the Switch Between a Motile Invasive Lifestyle and a Sessile Biofilm Lifestyle in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
… A multikinase network that includes the HKs RetS and GacS controls the switch between the motile invasive lifestyle and the sessile biofilm lifestyle of the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. GacS promotes the sessile biofilm lifestyle, while RetS promotes the motile …

Real-time Image Enhancement Using Texture Synthesis
… Enhancement using Texture Synthesis (RETS) combines interpolation, classification, and patch-based texture synthesis to enhance low-resolution imagery, particularly aerial imagery. RETS uses as input a low-resolution source image and several high-resolution sample textures. The output …

Structural Basis of Bacterial Transmembrane Signaling
… chronic infections. Sensor histidine kinase-like RetS directly inhibits GacS to promote the expression of virulence factors linked to acute infection and suppress those required for chronic disease. Important gaps remain in our understanding of how the activities of RetS and GacS are regulated …
