On static and fatigue strength determination of carbon fibre/epoxy composites Part 1: experiments (2004)

Xiong, J.J., Shenoi, R.A., Wang, S.P., Wang, W.B.

This work seeks to investigate the static and fatigue properties and the failure mechanisms of T300/QY8911 carbon-fibre-reinforced composite laminates with different layups to optimize the stacking...

On static and fatigue strength determination of carbon fibre/epoxy composites Part 2: theoretical formulation (2004)

Xiong, J.J., Shenoi, R.A., Wang, S.P., Wang, W.B.

This paper outlines a practical model to evaluate fatigue residual strength for reliability-based design. A new formulation is presented for a fatigue-driven residual strength surface based on...

Cryopreservation of Embryos of the New World Screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (2001)

Leopold, R.A., Wang, W.B., Berkebile, Dennis, Freeman, T.P.

A method for cryopreserving embryos of the screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), was developed for the long-term storage of strains used in research projects and for colonies maintained as...

Electronic Bottleneck and Coherent Vibrational Effect on Relaxation Dynamics of Photoexcited Ions in Crystals (1998)

Alfano, R. R., Wang, W. B., Liu, C. H., Owen, S.

Nonradiative relaxation processes of photoexcited impurity ions in Cr(sup 4+) -doped forsterite (Cr(sup 4+)::Mg2SiO4) and Cunyit (Cr(sup 4+): Ca2GeO4) laser crystals have been investigated using...

Fundamental Optical Criteria to Optimize Tunable Solid State Laser Crystals (1998)

Alfano, R. R., Sharonov, M. Y., Owen, S., Wang, W. B.

Impurity ion-doped dielectric crystals have extensive applications in lasers, photodetectors, nonlinear crystals, displays, and scintillators. The performance of these devices is intrinsically...

Tunable High efficiency Resonant Tunneling GaN/AlGaN MQW UV Detectors (1998)

Wang, W. B., Zhang, S. K., Alfano, R. R.

The objective of this project is to develop tunable high efficiency resonant tunneling GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW)-based UV photodetectors. During the grant period, more than twenty six...

Prostate Cancer Detection Using Near Infrared Spectral Polarization Imaging (1998)

Alfano, Robert, Wang, W. B.

Specific aims: The objective of this grant is to develop a near infrared (NIR) spectral polarization imaging technique for prostate cancer detection. The technique is based on the spectral and...

E5 proteins of human papillomavirus types 11 and 16 transactivate the c-fos promoter through the NF1 binding element.

Chen, S L, Lin, Y K, Li, L Y, Tsao, Y P, Lo, H Y, Wang, W B, ...

Human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11) and HPV-16 contain an E5 gene that can induce c-fos gene expression in mouse fibroblasts. This study investigated the human c-fos promoter characteristics by...

Activation of protease-constitutive recA proteins of Escherichia coli by all of the common nucleoside triphosphates.

Wang, W B, Sassanfar, M, Tessman, I, Roberts, J W, Tessman, E S

To understand why the RecA proteins of the protease-constitutive recA1202 and recA1211 mutants show very high protease activities in vivo without the usual need for DNA damage (E. S. Tessman and P....

Activation of protease-constitutive recA proteins of Escherichia coli by rRNA and tRNA.

Wang, W B, Tessman, E S, Tessman, I

The RecA proteins of the unusually strong protease-constitutive mutants recA1202 and recA1211 can use RNA in addition to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) as a cofactor in the cleavage of the LexA...

Location of functional regions of the Escherichia coli RecA protein by DNA sequence analysis of RecA protease-constitutive mutants.

Wang, W B, Tessman, E S

In previous work (E. S. Tessman and P. K. Peterson, J. Bacteriol. 163:677-687 and 688-695, 1985), we isolated many novel protease-constitutive (Prtc) recA mutants, i.e., mutants in which the RecA...

Evidence that the recA441 (tif-1) mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 contains a thermosensitive intragenic suppressor of RecA constitutive protease activity.

Wang, W B, Tessman, E S

The recA441 mutant of Escherichia coli, which has been thought to have thermoinducible constitutive RecA protease activity, is known to have two mutations within recA. We show here that the mutation...

Transrepression of RNA polymerase II promoters by the simian virus 40 small t antigen.

Wang, W B, Bikel, I, Marsilio, E, Newsome, D, Livingston, D M

Simian virus 40 (SV40) small t antigen (t) can activate transcription from certain RNA polymerase II and III promoters (M. Loeken, I. Bikel, D. M. Livingston, and J. Brady, Cell 55:1171-1177, 1988)....
