Validation of a novel expressed sequence tag (EST) clustering method and development of a phylogenetic annotation pipeline for livestock gene families
(2009-05-15)
Prediction of functions of genes in a genome is a key step in all genome sequencing projects. Sequences that carry out important functions are likely to be conserved between evolutionarily distant species and can be ...
The diversity, distribution and feeding behavior of solifuges (arachnida; solifugae) in Kenya.
(2009-05-15)
Little is known of the diversity of solifuges in East Africa or their habitat
preferences and feeding biologies. A survey was undertaken to improve our
understanding of the diversity and distribution of solifuges in Kenya ...
An Empirical Analysis of Factors That Influence the First Year to Second Year Retention of Students at One Large, Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to identify how input and environmental
factors impact first-to-second year retention of undergraduate students at a large
Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). An additional purpose of the ...
Automated counting of cell bodies using Nissl stained cross-sectional images
(2009-05-15)
Cell count is an important metric in neurological research. The loss in numbers
of certain cells like neurons has been found to accompany not only the deterioration of
important brain functions but disorders like clinical ...
The inline virtual impactor
(2009-05-15)
A circumferential slot In-line Virtual Impactor (IVI) has been designed using
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation tools and experimentally characterized
using monodispersed liquid aerosols to validate simulation ...
Characterization of surface and layered films with cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry
(2009-05-15)
Cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analyses of layer-by-layer thin
films were performed to investigate the depth/volume of SI emission and accuracy of
the SI signal. The thin-layered samples were assembled by ...
Facilitation of visual pattern recognition by extraction of relevant features from microscopic traffic data
(2009-05-15)
An experimental approach to traffic flow analysis is presented in which methodology
from pattern recognition is applied to a specific dataset to examine its utility in
determining traffic patterns. The selected dataset for ...
Effects of physical and chemical pretreatments on the crystallinity of bagasse
(2009-05-15)
Biomass conversion technologies are receiving increasing attention due to global climate change and most recently plans from the President of the United States to reduce fossil fuel consumption. The MixAlco process converts ...
The sacred in architecture: a study of the presence and quality of place-making patterns in sacred and secular buildings.
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this research is to expand knowledge regarding the presence and quality of
expression of certain place-making patterns that contribute to place being experienced as
sacred. The results are intended to validate ...
Wireless data acquisition system for multi-phase electric power equipment
(2009-05-15)
Industrial facilities that plan the shutdown of equipment for service have large financial savings compared to those managing unplanned shutdowns. To this end, a variety
of algorithms have been developed and published in ...
