Thermal Comfort under Transient Metabolic and Dynamic Localized Airflow Conditions Combined with Neutral and Warm Ambient Temperatures
(2012-02-14)
Human thermal environments constitute complex combinations of various interacting thermal factors. The transient and non-uniform nature of those thermal factors further increases the complexity of the thermal comfort ...
RNA Editing in Trypanosomes: Substrate Recognition and its Integration to RNA Metabolism
(2012-02-14)
RNA editing in trypanosomes is the post-transcriptional insertion or deletion of uridylates at specific sites in mitochondrial mRNAs. This process is catalyzed by a multienzyme, multisubunit complex through a series of ...
Calcite Reaction Kinetics in Saline Waters
(2012-02-14)
The effect of ionic strength (I), pCO2, and temperature on the reaction kinetics of calcite was investigated in magnesium-free, phosphate-free, low calcium (mCa^2 ≈ 0.01 – 0.02 molal) simple KCl and NaCl solutions from ...
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 ...
