Bacillus pumilus SAFR-032 Genome Revisited: Sequence Update and Re-Annotation
(PLoS One, 6/28/2016)Bacillus pumilus strain SAFR-032 is a non-pathogenic spore-forming bacterium exhibiting an anomalously high persistence in bactericidal environments. In its dormant state, it is capable of withstanding doses of ultraviolet ... -
Bacillus safensis FO-36b and Bacillus pumilusSAFR-032: a whole genome comparison of two spacecraft assembly facility isolates
(BMC Microbiology, 6/8/2018)Bacillus strains producing highly resistant spores have been isolated from cleanrooms and space craft assembly facilities. Organisms that can survive such conditions merit planetary protection concern and if that resistance ... -
Background and environmental effects on federal district court policy outputs
(1977)This dissertation explores the relationship between federal district judges' backgrounds and their liberal or conservative policypropensities. The 21,142 federal district court opinions involving liberal/conservative ... -
Background studies for DarkSide Detectors
(2020-12)Direct dark matter detection experiments search for the signals from dark matter (DM) scattering off an atomic nuclei target. The DarkSide-50 experiment used a dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with liquid argon ... -
Backscattering of Underwater Noise by Bubble Clouds
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1993-06)This paper is a continuation of an earlier one [Prosperetti et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 93, XXX (1993)] in which the low?frequency backscattering of sound by hemispherical bubble clouds at the ocean’s surface was studied. ... -
Backwards in Heels: Partnering for Learner-centered Pedagogy in Online Modules
(EDUCAUSE, 2015-10-28)This poster describes the process by which librarians at the University of Houston collaborated with one another and with teaching faculty in the English department to develop and pilot a learner-centered online learning ... -
Bacteria and Virus Control by Electrochemical Coagulation and Microfiltration
(2014-05)Bench-scale experiments were performed to evaluate microorganism control by electrochemical coagulation and membrane microfiltration. Natural organic matter (NOM) present in natural waters appears to reduce the effectiveness ... -
Bacterial Adhesion and Motility at Oil-Water Interfaces
(2020-12)Degradation of hydrocarbons by bacteria is one of the most important processes in oil spill cleanup. In attempt to increase the rate of biodegradation, chemical dispersants have been deployed in many oil spill scenarios ... -
Bacterial Adhesion and Motility on Silanized Glass Surfaces
(2016-08)Attachment of bacteria to surfaces is the first step in the formation of biofilms. Medical, industrial, and technological applications require effective control over biofilm formation, and control of initial bacterial ... -
Bacterial Consortium and Effect of Different Conditions on Cell Growth Using Naphthalene as a Sole Carbon Source by the Bacteria Isolated from Soil Samples Collected from Oil Refineries in Texas
(2017-05)Petrochemical refineries and human activities are responsible for release of carcinogenic compounds known as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Adverse effects of these compounds on human health and ecosystem resulted ... -
Bacterial genotyping by 16S rRNA mass cataloging
(BMC Bioinformatics, 2006-06)Background: It has recently been demonstrated that organism identifications can be recovered from mass spectra using various methods including base-specific fragmentation of nucleic acids. Because mass spectrometry is ... -
Bacterial liberation of crude oil from an oil-sand mixture
(1956)A study was made of oil release by 190 strains of bacteria from a standard crude oil-sand mixture (10% w/w) in 25 x 200 mm glass columns and 20 x l50 mm screw-cap tubes. The bacteria used included 106 halophilic sulfate-reducing ... -
Bacteriophage Imaging Immunoassay for Point of Care Diagnostics
(2016-08)Point-of-care (PoC) devices are used for medical testing at or near the site of patient care. Due to its low cost, simple assay operation, and ease of mass production, the lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) is one of the most ... -

Bandlimiting effects on the performance of coded digital communication systems
(1977)The effects of bandlimiting on the performance of coded and uncoded communication systems corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise are analyzed. Results for both sample and matched filter detection are presented for the ... -
Bank panics, contagion and information
(1987)This dissertation is an examination of the free banking era in the United States. Recent empirical evidence (Rockoff 1975; Rolnick and Weber 1984) suggests that bank failures in this period were the result of specific ... -
Banking on the American Dream: A Quantitative Study of Determinants of Latino Immigrants’ Bank Account Use in Houston, Texas, United States of America
(2018-05)For most people in the United States, the financial system constrains financial opportunities through access to the credit system (Levine, 2005). The credit system allows individuals--who do not have enough capital--to ... -
