Where antibiotic resistance mutations meet quorum-sensing (2014)
Journal Article
Channon. (2014). Where antibiotic resistance mutations meet quorum-sensing. Microbial Cell, 250 - 252. https://doi.org/10.15698/mic2014.07.158

We do not need to rehearse the grim story of the global rise of antibiotic resistant microbes. But what if it were possible to control the rate with which antibiotic resistance evolves by de novo mutation? It seems that some bacteria may already do e...

Tuning receiver characteristics in bacterial quorum communication: An evolutionary approach using standard virtual biological parts. Presented at 2014 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CIBCB), Honolulu, HI, USA

Populations of bacteria acting in collaboration can produce complex behaviors which are not achievable by individual cells. There has, consequently, been considerable interest in the engineering of bacterial populations. Here we describe an approach...

DESA: A Decentralized, Efficient and Selective Aggregation Scheme in AMI (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mustafa, M., Zhang, N., Kalogridis, G., & Fan, Z. (2014, February). DESA: A Decentralized, Efficient and Selective Aggregation Scheme in AMI. Presented at ISGT 2014, Washington, DC

In this paper we propose a decentralized, efficient and selective aggregation (DESA) scheme for secure and privacy-preserving communication in AMI. Unlike existing aggregation schemes, DESA uses a multi-recipient system model that is more applicable... Read More about DESA: A Decentralized, Efficient and Selective Aggregation Scheme in AMI.

We rigorously derive the leading-order terms in asymptotic expansions for the scattered electric and magnetic fields in the presence of a small object at distances that are large compared with its size. Our expansions hold for fixed wavenumber when t... Read More about The perturbation of electromagnetic fields at distances that are large compared with the object's size.

Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions (2014)
Journal Article
Channon, A. (2014). Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions. Nature communications, 3742 -?. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4742

Variation of mutation rate at a particular site in a particular genotype, in other words mutation rate plasticity (MRP), can be caused by stress or ageing. However, mutation rate control by other factors is less well characterized. Here we show that...
