A common approach to address the differences and biases between the many different taxonomic classification tools is to run metagenomic data through multiple classification tools and databases. This, however, is a very time-consuming task when performed manually - particularly when combined with the appropriate preprocessing of sequencing reads before the classification. Here we present nf-core/taxprofiler, a highly parallelised read-processing and taxonomic classification pipeline.</description></item><item><title>Investigation of Hydronium Diffusion in Poly(vinyl alcohol) Hydrogels: A Critical First Step to Describe Acid Transport for Encapsulated Bioremediation</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/hydronium-pva/</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/hydronium-pva/</guid><description>Bioremediation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifers can be hindered by high contaminant concentrations and acids generated during remediation. Encapsulating microbes in hydrogels may provide a protective, tunable environment from inhibiting compounds; however, current approaches to formulate successful encapsulated systems rely on trial and error rather than engineering approaches because fundamental information on mass-transfer coefficients is lacking. To address this knowledge gap, hydronium ion mass-transfer rates through two commonly used hydrogel materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) and alginic acid, under two solidification methods (chemical and cryogenic) were measured.</description></item><item><title>Assessment of Porcine Rotavirus-associated virome variations in pigs with enteric disease</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/rotavirus-virome/</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/rotavirus-virome/</guid><description>Enteric disease is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in young mammals including pigs. Viral species involved in porcine enteric disease complex (PEDC) include rotaviruses, coronaviruses, picornaviruses, astroviruses and pestiviruses among others. The virome of three groups of swine samples submitted to the Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for routine testing were assessed, namely, a Rotavirus A positive (RVA) group, a Rotavirus co-infection (RV) group and a Rotavirus Negative (RV Neg) group.</description></item><item><title>Polyoxometalate Incorporation and Effects on Proton Transport in Hydrogel Polymers</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/thesis/</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/thesis/</guid><description>Polyoxometalate clusters embedded into hydrogel biobeads may be able to solve the challenges posed by free proton generation during remediation of trichloroethylene by acting as buffers and reducing protons to hydrogen gas. In this thesis, the challenges posed by systems that contain both diffusion and reaction processes for protons are considered mathematically, and a computer
