Complement Receptor-1 Binding to Erythrocytes Under Normal and Pathological Membrane Deforming Conditions

In primates, complement-coated invading microbes and immune complexes are efficiently removed from circulation by binding complement receptor-1 (CR1) on erythrocytes, a process known as immune-adherence clearance. This project examines the nature and functionality of complement binding to erythrocytes under normal and pathological conditions. The data identifies key factors associated with the complement-CR1 ligation pathway promoting membrane deformability, helping elucidate a greater understanding of this important, unique erythrocyte function

Opportunities for WPI in Washington D.C.

The purpose of this project was to determine ways to raise awareness of opportunities available to WPI in the Washington, D.C. area. The team's focus was to locate federal funding opportunities for WPI's faculty, and to create relationships with foreign embassies where WPI currently has project centers. A database was created, detailing opportunities in D.C. to facilitate the identification of funding for WPI faculty. Recommendations were created to outline greatest potential mutual benefits between WPI and agencies. Visits occurred with officials at the South African and Thailand embassies. The team created and presented pamphlets outlining student projects completed in these countries. The embassy visits could lead to future collaboration between WPI and these nations

Design psacího stolu

The subject of diploma thesis is the design of the writing desk. This thesis consists of two parts. From the theoretical and the practical. The theoretical part includes cross section of the historical development writing desks, and current trends in this field, issues of domestic work environment, ergonomic and legal requirements. The theoretical part is default for the practical part. It includes sketches, material and constructional solution, 3D visualization, mapping the evolution of the design of the desk from initial sketches to final form
