Single Particle Fluorescence Burst Analysis of Membrane Fission
(2015-05-13)
The ability to catalyze the fission step of endocytosis is critical to many biological processes including cell communication and synaptic transmission. This activity must be tightly regulated for cellular homeostasis. ...
Built Environmental Correlates of Traffic Collisions
(2014-07-01)
Traffic safety has become an important concern in recent years. Built environmental characteristics have been identified as a critical factor in affecting traffic safety. However, several research gaps remain in the ...
Adhesion and the Surface Energy Components of Natural Minerals and Aggregates
(2011-10-21)
A range of geochemical reactions are controlled by the interfacial characteristics
of rocks and minerals. Many engineered and natural systems are affected by
geochemical reactions that occur at interfaces. Asphalt-aggregate ...
Adapting ADA Architectural Design Knowledge to Product Design: Groundwork for a Function Based Approach
(2011-10-21)
Disability is seen as a result of an interaction between a person and that person's
contextual factors. Viewing disability in the context of the built environment, a better
design of this environment helps to reduce the ...
Modeling and Optimization of a Bioethanol Production Facility
(2011-10-21)
The primary objective of this work is to identify the optimal bioethanol production plant capacity and configuration based on currently available technology for all the processing sections involved. To effect this study, ...
In Situ Small Scale Mechanical Characterization of Materials Under Environmental
(2011-10-21)
This research investigates the mechanical properties and performance of structural materials at a small volume scale. In situ observation was made possible through the Small Punch Test (SPT) method as well as tribological ...
The Impact of Close Friends’ Academic Orientation and Deviancy on Academic Achievement, Engagement, and Competence Across the Middle School Transition
(2011-10-21)
Transition to middle school is a turbulent time of development in which friends
have growing impact on adolescents’ academic adjustment. Structural equation
modeling was used to examine the unique and joint contributions ...
Voluntary Carbon Market Participation and Unintended Consequences: An Economic Analysis
(2016-05-04)
Agricultural activities account for nearly a quarter of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mainly from deforestation and livestock, soil and nutrient management. Also it is the biggest emitter of non-carbon dioxide ...
Directed Information and Its Biomedical Applications
(2016-04-25)
The foundation of Information theory by C. E. Shannon is the entropic measures to quantize the abstract concept of information in random variables. When the interest is to study the relationships among multiple random ...
Model Aided Observational Study of Physical Processes in the Northwestern Arabian / Persian Gulf in Response to the Shamal Wind Event
(2015-04-29)
In the present study we define a Shamal event as a WNW-N wind with an hourly average speed ≥ 9.85 m/s blowing during at least 3 hours/day. These events have a significant impact on surface heat fluxes (shortwave, longwave, ...
