Fractionation of Dissolved Solutes and Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter During Experimental Sea Ice Formation.
(2012-04-16)
In the past decade there has been an overall decrease in Arctic Ocean sea ice cover. Changes to the ice cover have important consequences for organic carbon cycling, especially over the continental shelves. When sea ice ...
Analysis of the Size Effects on the Pseudoelastic Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Micro-pillars
(2012-04-20)
Size dependent properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) in micro and nano scales have gained an increasing attention due to the existing and potential applications of SMAs in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and small ...
Techniques on Analysis of Photo Phase Shift Imaging
(2012-04-12)
In order to locate and destroy cancerous tumors, piglets with naturally occurring melanoma were injected with gold nanoparticles and exposed to laser irradiation. This causes necrosis of the tumor cell while sparing the ...

(2012-05-03)
This purpose of this study is to document and evaluate descriptive Latino representation at the local level, over time, and as it relates to characteristics of the Latino population. This study has important implications, ...
GPU ACCELERATION OF THE ISO–7 NUCLEAR REACTION NETWORK USING OPENCL
(2012-05-01)
We looked at the potential performance increases available through OpenCL and its parallel computing capabilities, including GPU computing as it applies to time inte- gration of nuclear reaction networks. The particular ...
Isolation of Cyanide Hydratase Mutants from Gloeocerospora Sorghi at alkaline pH
(2013-02-04)
Cyanide is both a useful and dangerous chemical compound that serves as a crucial component in multiple industrial processes, including metal mining. The leaching process that utilizes cyanide ions to help separate target ...
Improvements in Low Field MRI
(2013-02-01)
The world of clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presently dominated by multi-million dollar machines that use large superconducting magnets to generate very high quality images. It is possible to perform MRI at ...
Parallel Assembly of Collagen Fibrils on Mica Surface and Steps
(2012-07-11)
Collagen is the most abundant protein in human body and the major component
of the extracellular matrix. It self-assembles into fibrillar structures that exhibit
characteristic 67-nm bands called the D-period. Despite ...
Social Identity and Cooperation
(2012-07-11)
This study seeks to examine the effects of cooperation on social identity in group work. I posit that members of groups which are cooperative and therefore successful will be more likely to identify with the group, than ...
The Role of miR-143 and miR-145 in the Invasion of Glioblastoma
(2012-07-11)
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and most malignant type of
primary brain tumor. It is highly invasive and therefore difficult to treat. The life
expectancy of patients harboring GBM is around 12-18 months, ...
