A Case Study of Faculty Perceptions of Student Plagiarism
(2012-02-14)
This study examined faculty perceptions of plagiarism in the classroom using a qualitative case study methodology. A single university was used for the case study to locate all data under a single institutional culture. A ...
Low Cost Power and Supply Noise Estimation and Control in Scan Testing of VLSI Circuits
(2012-02-14)
Test power is an important issue in deep submicron semiconductor testing. Too much power supply noise and too much power dissipation can result in excessive temperature rise, both leading to overkill during delay test. ...
Study of Methane Reforming in Warm Non-Equilibrium Plasma Discharges
(2012-02-14)
Utilization of natural gas in remote locations necessitates on-site conversion of methane
into liquid fuels or high value products. The first step in forming high value products is
the production of ethylene and acetylene. ...
Effects of Nutrient Additions on Three Coastal Salt Marsh Plants Found in Sunset Cove, Texas
(2012-02-14)
Eutrophication, particularly due to nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) input, has been massively altered by anthropogenic activities. Thus it is important to understand the impact on salt marsh plants; however studies on salt ...
A New, Iterative, Synchronous-Response Algorithm for Analyzing the Morton Effect
(2012-02-14)
The present work proposes a new computational algorithm for analyzing Morton
Effect using a Successive Iterative Synchronous Response Algorithm (SISRA). Previous
studies on the Morton Effect were based on Eigen or Nyquist ...
Experimental Investigations of Vortex Induced Vibration of A Flat Plate in Pitch Oscillation
(2012-02-14)
A bluff structure placed in a flowing fluid, may be subjected to vortex-induced vibrations
(VIV). For a flat plate with only rotational degree of freedom, the VIV is
rotational oscillation. Based on the experimental ...
Salmonella Infection on Arabidopsis Seedlings Requires Both Host and Pathogen Factors
(2012-02-14)
Human enteric pathogen Salmonella contaminates raw produce and triggers significant economic loss and illness. Under a natural environment, Salmonella resides in soil and enters the interior of plants without causing disease ...
Assessing Diet and Seasonality in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands: An Evaluation of Coprolite Specimens as Records of Individual Dietary Decisions
(2012-02-14)
This dissertation presents an evaluation of coprolite specimens from the Lower
Pecos canyonlands as records of individual dietary decisions. Prior studies of coprolites
from this region have greatly expanded our knowledge ...
High-Oleic Ground Beef, Exercise, and Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Men and Postmenopausal Women
(2012-02-14)
Sixty-six percent of the ground beef consumed in the U.S. contains 16-30 percent fat by weight, and at the retail level, ground beef fat varies widely with regards to saturated, monounsaturated and trans-fatty acid content. ...
Regulation of PERLECAN and 2OST Expression in Prostate Cancer Progression by Stress-activated Transcription Factors
(2012-02-14)
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans modulate many of the growth factor pathways that drive prostate cancer progression. Prior to being secreted into the extracellular matrix, the covalently attached HS chains are modified by ...
