 +
font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

background: #666666;
 +
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
 +
padding: 0;
 +

 +
/* Tips for this Hybrid layout
 +
1. Since the side columns em-based sizing is based on the user's default font size, you will want to be sure that background graphics in the columns take that into account. Built correctly, this is more accessible for those that need larger font sizes, since the width of the columns remains proportionate. If this is undesirable with your design, simply change the width to a pixel size and be sure to change the margins on the #mainContent div accordingly.
 +
2. Since the sizing of side columns in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element, if you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the column widths will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase their widths, and the size of the #mainContent div's side margins, to compensate for this.
 +
3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.
 +
4. The #container div is not necessary for this layout at the 100% width. You may want to use it to create faux columns or limit the width of the layout.
 +
5. It is not neccessary to have the 100% width on the #container div since, by nature, a div takes up 100% of the available space. It is here so that if you want to decrease the size of the overall container - perhaps leaving a bit of margin on each side - this will already be available for adjustment.
 +
*/
 +
.thrColHybHdr #container {
 +
width: 100%;
 +
background: #FFFFFF;
 +
/*margin: 0 auto;  the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page if needed */
 +
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
 +
} 
 +
.thrColHybHdr #header {
 +
background: #629632;  
 +
padding: 0 10px;  /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
 +
}
 +
.thrColHybHdr #header h1 {
 +
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
 +
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
 +
}
 +
 
 +
/* Tips for sidebar1:
 +
1. Be aware that if you set a font-size value on this div, the overall width of the div will be adjusted accordingly.
 +
2. Since we are working in ems, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar itself. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
 +
3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".thrColHybHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
 +
*/
 +
.thrColHybHdr #sidebar1 {
 +
float: left;  
 +
width: 11em; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
 +
background: #8BA870; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
 +

 +
background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
 +
padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
 +
}
 +
.thrColHybHdr #sidebar1 h3, .thrColHybHdr #sidebar1 p, .thrColHybHdr #sidebar2 p, .thrColHybHdr #sidebar2 h3 {
 +
margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
 +
margin-right: 10px;
 +
}
 +
 
 +
/* Tips for mainContent:
 +
1. If you give this #mainContent div a font-size value different than the #sidebar1 div, the margins of the #mainContent div will be based on its font-size and the width of the #sidebar1 div will be based on its font-size. You may wish to adjust the values of these divs.
 +
2. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div.  No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
 +
3. To avoid float drop, you may need to test to determine the approximate maximum image/element size since this layout is based on the user's font sizing combined with the values you set. However, if the user has their browser font size set lower than normal, less space will be available in the #mainContent div than you may see on testing.
 +
4. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs that may occur.

News!

The background color on this div will only show for the length of the content. If you'd like a dividing line instead, place a border on the right side of the #mainContent div if the #mainContent div will always contain more content than the #sidebar2 div.

Main Content

Bacteriophage infection represents a major problem in industry and science. The idea of being able to contend at a population level with such infections is the main motivation of the development of our project.

We plan to modify an Escherichia coli phage in order to deliver genetic material codifying for a construction against other phages, taking advantage of some of their own properties!!! The purpose of this construction is to make a bacterial to fight back against the spreading of some phage by triggering on a cellular death response when a cell encounters a specific component of the phage. Such response will be faster than the formation process of viral particles preventing the death of the bacterial population.

This population resistance can be seen as a sort of "vaccine" that will hold back the process of infection. The design of the delivery system includes the use the P4 phage and its auxiliary genes present in the P2 helper phage. In the case of the "vaccine" construct, the cellular death response will be induced by the presence of T3 or T7 RNA polymerases which will also turn on the transcription of toxines used for the degradation of DNA and RNA to stop the phage´s genetic material from assembling and scattering in the environment.

Furthermore, we will implement a stochastic population model based on the basic properties of the bacterial cells and the phages such as movement, reproduction, etc., this will allow us to simulate the infection processes and quantify the efficiency of our system. A possible extention of the system includes the expansion of an AHL signal through the quorum sensing system of Vibrio fischeri in which the population will be "warned" to prepare against the viral infection in the presence of T3 or T7.

Our Project

Bacteriophage infection represents a major problem in the industry and research fields. The idea of being able to contend at a population level with such infections is the main motivation for the development of our project. We plan to modify an Escherichia coli phage in order to deliver genetic material codifying a construction in defense against other phages taking advantage of some of the properties they have. The purpose of this construction is that a bacterial population can manage to fight back the spreading of some phage by triggering on a cellular death response when a cell encounters an specific component of the phage. Such response will be faster than the formation process of viral particles preventing the death of the bacterial population. This population resistance can be seen as a sort of "vaccine" that will hold back the process of infection. The design of the delivery system includes the use the P4 phage and its auxiliary genes present in the P2 helper phage. In the case of the "vaccine" construct, the cellular death response will be induced by the presence of T3 or T7 RNA polymerases which will also turn on the transcription of toxines used for the degradation of DNA and RNA to stop the phage´s genetic material from assembling and scattering in the environment. Furthermore, we will implement a stochastic population model based on the basic properties of the bacterial cells and the phages such as movement, reproduction, etc., that will allow us to simulate the infection processes and quantify the efficiency of our system. A possible extensión of the system includes the expansion of an AHL signal through the quorum sensing system of Vibrio fischeri in which the population will be "warned" to prepare against the viral infection in the presence of T3 or T7.
