The Future is Now in Twisted Coil Polymer Actuators (TCPA)
… and test twisted coiled polymer actuators (TCPA) to understand the mechanical and thermal aspects of this artificial muscle fiber. The purpose of this thesis was to find a linear relationship using the LVDT sensor, fabricating TCPA fibers, and interpreting the data. The project tested …

Magnetoacoustic chemical sensors based on swellable polymer microspheres
… chloride-trichlorophenyl acrylate) (polyVBC-TCPA) microspheres were prepared by dispersion polymerization and then derivatized to introduce amine groups onto the polymer backbone. These derivatized polymer microspheres swell and shrink with changing pH. They were entrapped in a hydrogel …

Mechanism and applications of elastic actuators
… a focus on twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) and their integration into robotic systems. TCPAs are fabricated with varying geometric parameters from polymer yarns. The fabrication process includes twisting and coiling these yarns under applied tensile load, followed by a thermal …

Characterization of The Growth Factor Receptor Network Oncogenes in Lung Cancer
… proteomics data from The Cancer Proteome Atlas (TCPA) and gene expression. Following thorough analysis, optimal gene signatures were determined for the genes BAD, HER2, IGF1R, RAF, and KRAS. In all, the optimized GFRN pathway-specific gene signatures were able to distinguish upregulated pathway …

<i>Vibrio cholerae</i> non-01 and <i>V. mimicus</i> in diarrhoeal disease : a study of virulence factors
… possession of the toxin coregulated pilus gene (tcpA) were essential for adhesion. Cholera toxin (CT) is the factor responsible for the dramatic symptoms of epidemic cholera and is produced by <i>V. cholerae</i> serogroups 01 and 0139. However, less than 1% of <i>V. cholerae</i> non-01, non-0139 …
