Racial Framing and the Multiracial Movement
(2012-07-16)
In the 1990s, multiracial advocacy organizations emerged as a national movement. The primary purpose of this movement was to obtain recognition of multiracial identity by the U.S. government. Though possessing a common ...
New Insights Into the Role of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus S2 Protein in Disease Expression
(2011-08-08)
Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) is an important animal model to study the
contribution of macrophages in viral persistence during lentiviral infections. EIAV is
unique amongst the lentiviruses in that it causes a ...
Light Scattering by Ice Crystals and Mineral Dust Aerosols in the Atmosphere
(2012-07-16)
Modeling the single-scattering properties of nonspherical particles in the atmo¬sphere (in particular, ice crystals and dust aerosols) has important applications to climate and remote sensing studies. The first part of the ...
A Dual-Supply Buck Converter with Improved Light-Load Efficiency
(2012-07-16)
Power consumption and device size have been placed at the primary concerns for battery-operated portable applications. Switching converters gain popularity in powering portable devices due to their high efficiency, compact ...
Participants and Information Outcomes in Planning Organizations
(2012-10-19)
This research presents empirical evidence and interpretation about the effects of planning participants and contextual factors on information selection in public organizations. The study addresses important research ...
Coherent Control of Laser Field and Spectroscopy in Dense Atomic Vapor
(2011-08-08)
Coherent effects are studied in a dense atomic vapor driven by laser fields. With
optical properties dramatically modified by these effects, the medium can be used
to manipulate some of the properties of laser field. Our ...
Scales and Scale-like Structures
(2011-08-08)
Scales are a visually striking feature that grows on many animals. These small, rigid plates embedded in the skin form an integral part of our description of fish and reptiles, some plants, and many extinct animals. Scales ...
Genetic Combining Analysis of Food-Grade Maize: Colored and Quality Protein
(2012-10-19)
Maize genetic diversity includes an array of kernel colors (red, blue, purple) with blue concentrated in the aleurone and red primarily in the pericarp. Quality protein maize (QPM) is improved over normal maize in regards ...
A Computational Study of the Role of Hydration in the Assembly of Collagen and Other Bio laments
(2012-10-19)
Hydration is known to be crucial in biomolecular interactions including ligand binding and self-assembly. In our earlier studies we have shown the key role of water in stabilizing the specific parts of the collagen triple ...
A Hierarchical Multiscale Approach to History Matching and Optimization for Reservoir Management in Mature Fields
(2012-10-19)
Reservoir management typically focuses on maximizing oil and gas recovery from a reservoir based on facts and information while minimizing capital and operating investments. Modern reservoir management uses history-matched ...
