THE PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT INVENTORY-ADOLESCENT: DETECTION OF ADHD FEIGNING FACILITATED BY COACHING AND NON-COACHING INSTRUCTIONS
(2012-04-06)
The effectiveness and validity of three indicators of response distortion on the Personality Assessment Inventory-Adolescent (PAI-A; Morey, 2007a), potentially useful to detect malingering, were evaluated by having college ...
Expression, Purification, and Characterization of a Polysaccharide Depolymerase from Acinetobacter baumannii Bacteriophage AbauYa1
(2012-04-20)
The use of bacteriophages offers an appealing alternative to antibiotics for the control of pathogenic bacteria. Recently, bacteriophage AbauYa1 was isolated as part of an effort to find phages to combat Acinetobacter ...
The effects of pelagic larval duration on the geographic population structure of two sipunculan species in the Sea of Japan
(2012-04-18)
This study examines genetic diversity in two species of sipunculan worm, Phascolosoma agassizii and Themiste pyroides, in the Sea of Japan. Low sea levels of the Pleistocene era partially or completely isolated marginal ...
EFFICIENT DESIGN OF LINEAR HIGH-FREQUENCY FILTERS
(2012-04-19)
Direct-conversion receivers are becoming more and more popular in wireless communication systems because they promise superior performance in power consumption, size, and cost over existing heterodyne-based receivers. ...
Times Series Study of Effects of Petroleum Production on GDP
(2012-05-02)
This paper uses Maddison data on GDP in major oil-producing countries to analyze whether correlations exist between metric tonnage of oil produced and the economic development of the country. For my purposes I use GDP per ...
Analysis of the Size Effects on the Pseudoelastic Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Micro-pillars
(2012-04-20)
Size dependent properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) in micro and nano scales have gained an increasing attention due to the existing and potential applications of SMAs in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and small ...
Mother-Calf Behavior in Delphinapterus leucas in the Second Year of Life
(2012-04-17)
A longitudinal investigation of two beluga whale mother-calf pairs located at SeaWorld San Antonio was conducted in order to examine and describe the calves’ change in swim positioning in relation to their mothers over ...
Vacuum energy for static, cylindrically symmetric systems
(2012-04-18)
In my previous thesis for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program I have calculated, both in terms of the scalar field and in terms of the cylinder kernel, the components of the stress-energy tensor of a quantized ...
Caffeine's Effect on Creative Production
(2012-07-11)
This study attempted to determine a link between caffeine consumption and an increase in the creative production of an individual. Participants, college-aged students at Texas A&M University, completed Form A of the figural ...
Usage of Friction-damped Braced Frames for Seismic Vibration Control
(2012-04-16)
This study presents the results of experimental work that examines the functionality of friction-damped braced frames during seismic events. The simplicity and efficacy of this friction device as a means of passive vibration ...
