Structural and Functional Investigations of Conformationally Interconverting RNA Pseudoknots
(2010-10-12)
The biological function of RNA is often linked to an ability to adopt one or more
mutually exclusive conformational states or isomers, a characteristic that distinguishes
this biomolecule from proteins. Two examples of ...
Nanocomposite Membranes for Complex Separations
(2010-10-12)
Over the past few decades there has been great interest in exploring alternatives to conventional separation methods due to their high cost and energy requirements. Membranes offer a potentially attractive alternative as ...
Fostering Innovative Capacity via Organizational Reward Systems: The Case of Faculty Collaboration
(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this study is to reveal, through the use of case study methodology, how
faculty collaboration may foster the development of intellectual capital and how organizational
reward systems mediate this process. ...
Spectroscopic Investigations of Selected Cyclic and Bicyclic Molecules
(2010-10-12)
Several cyclic molecules along with two bicyclic molecules were investigated
using infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet (UV) absorption, fluorescence excitation (FES),
and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) ...
Extraction of Spin Polarization of Bulk and Measurement of Transport Properties of Thin GdxSi1-x Near the Metal-Insulator Transition
(2010-07-14)
Since the early 1960s, Abrikosov-Gorkov theory has been used to describe superconductors with paramagnetic impurities. Interestingly, the density of states resulting from the theoretical framework has to date only been ...
Long-Term Hydrologic Responses To Shrub Removal In A SW Texas Rangeland: Using Soil Chloride To Estimate Deep Drainage
(2010-10-12)
The Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer is a valuable groundwater resource, situated in a semi-arid
landscape of Southwest Texas, where over-use by dependent farming practices has
lowered aquifer levels. In semi-arid regions, rates ...
The Idea of Personality in Kant’s Moral Philosophy
(2010-10-12)
Kant’s idea of the person and its place within his so-called “Formula of Humanity” has taken on an important role in contemporary discussions of normative ethics. Yet, despite its popularity, confusion remains as to what ...
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) Associated with Maintenance of Bread Making Quality under Heat Stress in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(2010-10-12)
The aim of this study was to identify QTLs associated with the maintenance of
grain quality following post-anthesis heat stress. A population of 64 F6Halberd X Cutter
recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was exposed to either ...
Characteristics of Effective Mentoring in a Formal Mentoring Setting
(2011-02-22)
A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to determine the perceived
levels of effectiveness and barriers for a successful mentoring relationship between
mentors and mentees. Specifically, this study explored ...
An Exploratory Study of the Relationship Between Exercise Leader Source Credibility, Participant Self-Efficacy, and Exercise Adherence
(2010-10-12)
Using Social Cognitive Theory, Social Identity Theory, and Source
Credibility, this study examined the role of instructor source credibility as related to
exercise adherence. A one-time survey was given to participants of ...
