Tangent unit-vector fields: nonabelian homotopy invariants and the Dirichlet energy (2009)

Majumdar, A., Robbins, J. M., Zyskin, M.

Let O be a closed geodesic polygon in S^2. Maps from O into S^2 are said to satisfy tangent boundary conditions if the edges of O are mapped into the geodesics which contain them. Taking O to be an...

Liquid crystals and harmonic maps in polyhedral domains (2009)

Majumdar, A, Robbins, JM, Zyskin, M

Unit-vector fields $\nvec$ on a convex polyhedron $P$ subject to tangent boundary conditions provide a simple model of nematic liquid crystals in prototype bistable displays. The equilibrium and...

Morphological instability of a nonequilibrium icecolloid interface (2009)

Peppin, SSL, Majumdar, A, Wettlaufer, JS

We assess the morphological stability of a nonequilibrium ice–colloidal suspension interface, and apply the theory to bentonite clay. An experimentally convenient scaling is employed which takes...

Point-of-care biosensor systems for cancer diagnostics/prognostics (2006)

Soper, S. A., Brown, K., Ellington, A., Frazier, B., Garcia-Manero, G., Gau, V., ...

With the growing number of fatalities resulting from the 100 or so cancer-related diseases, new enabling tools are required to provide extensive molecular profiles of patients to guide the clinician...

Effect of aprepitant on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of warfarin (2005)

Oeyen, M, De Lepeleire, I, Laethem, T, Rothenberg, P, ...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of aprepitant on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of warfarin. Aprepitant is a neurokinin-1 (NK1)-receptor antagonist developed as an antiemetic for...

Lack of effect of aprepitant on the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel in cancer patients (2005)

Nygren, P, Hande, K, Petty, KJ, Fedgchin, M, Van Dyck, K, Majumdar, A, ...

Background: Aprepitant is a selective neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist that is effective for the prevention of nausea and vomiting caused by highly emetogenic chemotherapy. In vitro, aprepitant is a...

P-Protein of Chandipura Virus Is an N-Protein-Specific Chaperone That Acts at the Nucleation Stage (2004)

Majumdar, A, Bhattacharya, R, Basak, S, Shaila, MS, Chattopadhyay, D, Roy, S

The nucleocapsid protein N of Chandipura virus is prone to aggregation in vitro. We have shown that this aggregation occurs in two phases in a nucleation-dependent manner. Electron microscopy...
