Latin American Constitutionalism: Social Rights and the “Engine Room” of the Constitution
(Notre Dame University, 2014-03)
Roberto Gargarella surveys the landscape of Latin American Constitutionalism from 1810 to 2010, with particular emphasis on efforts in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries to enhance protections of ...
Assembly and Function of a Bioengineered Human Liver for Transplantation Generated Solely from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(Cell Press, 2020-06)
The availability of an autologous transplantable auxiliary liver would dramatically affect the treatment of liver disease. Assembly and function in vivo of a bioengineered human liver derived from induced pluripotent stem ...
Engineering protein nanoparticles out from components of the human microbiome
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2020-07-28)
Nanoscale protein materials are highly convenient as vehicles for targeted drug delivery because of their structural and functional versatility. Selective binding to specific cell surface receptors and penetration into ...
Controlled adhesion and proliferation of a human osteoblastic cell line by tuning the nanoporosity of titania and silica coatings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-02)
The engineering of surfaces to control cell adhesion represents an active area of biomaterials research. Herein, we demonstrate that it is possible to tune the adhesion and proliferation of a human osteoblastic cell line ...
Landscape Engineering Impacts the Long-Term Stability of Agricultural Populations
(Springer London Ltd, 2021-08-01)
Explaining the stability of human populations provides knowledge for understanding the resilience of human societies to environmental change. Here, we use archaeological radiocarbon records to evaluate a hypothesis drawn ...
The Use of Eye-Tracking Technologies in Deductive Reasoning Research
(International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Research Technology, 2015-12)
Eye-Tracking technologies have strongly increased in deductive reasoning research during the last years. The aim of this paper is to introduce a brief history of its use, to elaborate on some mathematical problems of ...
Engineering Resilience to Water Stress in the Late Prehispanic North-Central Andean Highlands (~600–1200 BP)
(MDPI AG, 2021-12)
The Andes are defined by human struggles to provide for, and control, water. Nowhere is this challenge more apparent than in the unglaciated western mountain range Cordillera Negra of the Andes where rain runoff provides ...
Reverse Engineering of an Aspirin-Responsive Transcriptional Regulator in Escherichia coli
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07)
Bacterial transcription factors (TFs) are key devices for the engineering of complex circuits in many biotechnological applications, yet there are few well-characterized inducer-responsive TFs that could be used in the ...
Physical Rehabilitation: A Historical Look
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-11)
Medicine aims toward restoring, maintaining, and improving human health, and engineering aims toward restoring, maintaining and improving human wellness. Both disciplines apply knowledge from science and technology at large ...
Topsis decision on approximate pareto fronts by using evolutionary algorithms: Application to an engineering design problem
(MDPI, 2020-11-20)
A common technique used to solve multi-objective optimization problems consists of first generating the set of all Pareto-optimal solutions and then ranking and/or choosing the most interesting solution for a human decision ...
