Integration of Safety in Optimization of Alternative Transportation Pathways for the Hydrogen Economy
(2020-04-10)
Globally, hydrogen is being recognized as an alternate energy source to meet the growing energy demand. Hydrogen carriers and different transportation modes in the hydrogen economy will lead to number of alternative ...
A Narrative Inquiry into Design-Based Learning Experiences, Transversal Skills, and Flourishing as Your Best-Loved Self
(2020-05-07)
As the workplace is calling for educators to develop the soft skills or transversal skills of students so they are better prepared, and research shows that developing those skills can improve academic achievement and overall ...
3D-printable Shape-Morphing Architectures via Programmable Stress: Active Absorbents, Mechanical Actuators, Hierarchical Structures, and Microchannels with Embedded Crystal Morphologies
(2020-04-13)
3D printing can manufacture polymer components with customized shapes and intricate structures easily without pre-made molds. When fabricated with responsive materials, smart 3D printed components experience shape morphing ...
Skeletal Effects of Bisphosphonate Treatment and Jumping Resistance Exercise on Adult Rats Exposed to Simulated Microgravity
(2020-04-10)
The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of a single period of bisphosphonate (BP) treatment on bone loss resulting from multiple periods of simulated microgravity. We hypothesized that the protective effects ...
Structure of the ssRNA Phage Qβ Enables Design of Virus-Like Particles for RNA Delivery
(2020-04-21)
Single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses infect all domains of life. Qβ, an ssRNA phage specific for Escherichia coli, has a near T=3 icosahedral lattice of coat proteins assembled around the genomic RNA (gRNA). In this work, the ...
Investigating the Animal Science Discipline’s Epistemic Frame
(2020-05-05)
Tightened operating budgets, growing class sizes, and changing student demographic challenge the instructional function of many animal science departments. A focus on effective teaching and industry-relevant learning is ...
Real-time Monitoring by Using Kalman Filter in the Ocean
(2020-03-19)
The Digital Twin (DT) is cited as one of the key concepts associated with Industry 4.0 waves. In fact, the concept of DT is not new and has lasted for over 10 years. In recent years, the clarity of improved technologies ...
Using Mastery Experiences in Undergraduate Agriculture Courses to Influence Student Self-Efficacy
(2020-04-10)
The numbers of students completing certificates and degrees have improved over the years, but current rates of attainment are not enough to meet state government established goals. New initiatives in higher education, ...
Workload Characterization for Branch Prediction
(2020-03-20)
Branch prediction is a method adopted in modern processors that tries to infer the outcome of a conditional branch instruction and prepare for the most probable result. An accurate predictor reduces the number of instructions ...
Evaluating the Effect of Prebiotics and Probiotics on Rotifer and Juvenile Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) Production
(2020-04-24)
Commercially produced probiotics and prebiotics show potential to enhance growth performance and disease resistance of various animals but have not been evaluated as enrichments in live foods for larval fish. Therefore, ...
