Evaluating CERTS' Spatial Relationship to Marginalized and Unmapped Communities
(2020-04-24)
Freedom colonies are historic African American communities founded after the Civil War, in the post Reconstruction Era. These communities are in hazard prone areas, without spatially delineating boundaries and vanishing ...
The BAF (BRG1/BRM-Associated Factor) Chromatin-Remodeling Complex Exhibits Ethanol Sensitivity in Fetal Neural Progenitor Cells and Regulates Transcription at the miR-9-2 Encoding Gene Locus
(2020-04-22)
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are a leading cause of intellectual disability worldwide. Previous studies have shown that developmental ethanol exposure results in loss of microRNAs (miRNAs) including miR-9, and loss of ...
Genetic Attributions, Behavior, and Well-Being: A Psychological Study of Free Will Beliefs
(2020-04-07)
During the last decades, genetic information has become increasingly available and accessible. Because of this increase in availability, it is important to understand the psychological impact genetic testing has on consumers ...
A Wearable Data Collection Platform with Smart Annotation Capabilities
(2019-05-17)
Remotely tracking users’ activity and physiology can help on disease treatment and health monitoring. For example, in nutrition management, tracking food intake helps on weight control. However, to train tracking algorithms, ...
Functional Error Correction for Robust Neural Networks
(2020-03-26)
When neural networks (NeuralNets) are implemented in hardware, their weights need to be stored in memory devices. As noise accumulates in the stored weights, the NeuralNet’s performance will degrade. This paper studies how ...
Effects of Visual Aids with Axis Information on Navigation and User Experience in Virtual Reality
(2020-03-26)
The widespread use of Virtual Reality (VR) has triggered many interesting practices in the field of visualization. This work presents one such visualization, Microvascular Network of a Mouse Brain in VR. Any VR application ...
Dietary L-arginine supplementation reduces fat mass in diet-induced obese rats
(2009-06-02)
This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that dietary arginine supplementation
reduces fat mass in diet-induced obese rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either
low- or high-fat diets for 15 wks (16 rats/diet). ...
PEO-Silane Amphiphiles as Surface-Modifying Additives to Improve the Protein Resistance of Silicone
(2015-10-06)
Silicone materials are commonly used for implantable medical devices because of their favorable bulk properties. Unfortunately, due to their hydrophobicity, silicones have a high affinity for protein adsorption which makes ...
The Roles of Nicotinic and Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptors in Risky and Impulsive Decision Making
(2012-02-14)
Psychopathological conditions in which decision making is impaired are
common and include schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and
addiction, among others. This dissertation aimed to investigate the ...
