Rapid, Low-Cost Detection of Water Contaminants Using Regulated In Vitro Transcription

Khalid K. Alam, +11 more
- 02 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: A cell-free biosensing platform that uses RNA output sensors activated by ligand induction (ROSALIND) to detect harmful contaminants in aqueous samples and can be configured to detect a range of water contaminants, including antibiotics, toxic small molecules, and metals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation-resistant trehalose analogues block utilization of trehalose by hypervirulent Clostridioides difficile.

Noah D. Danielson, +8 more
- 23 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that degradation-resistant trehalose analogues designed to resist enzymatic degradation are incapable of being used as carbon sources by C. difficile, and these analogues are valuable as trehalase inhibitors and as surrogates for or co-additives withtrehalose in applications where enzymatics breakdown is a concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum dioxin levels in former chlorophenol workers.

James J. Collins, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: Cumulative exposure estimates for dioxins for both 2,3,7,8-TCDD and the higher chlorinated doxins created in the early 1980s for epidemiology studies were highly correlated with serum dioxin levels when age and body mass index were taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI

Migration, language diversity and education policy: A contextualized analysis of inequality, risk and state effects

James J. Collins
- 22 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: The No Child Left Behind (NoCLL) is federal education legislation consisting of implementation programs intended to reconcile the goals of insuring equality while promoting competition in public education in the US.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gradual formation of an operative corridor by balloon dilation for resection of subependymal giant cell astrocytomas in children with tuberous sclerosis: Specialized minimal access technique of balloon dilation

Nicholas B. Levine, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: Use of balloon dilation for the gradual formation of an operative corridor eliminated the need for additional retraction during SEGA resection, potentially decreasing injury to the surrounding neural tissue.
