G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER)-Mediated Relaxation of Coronary Arteries is Mitigated by Phosphorylation of ERK1/2
(2017-04-24)
GPER is a membrane-bound estrogen receptor, distinct from ERα or ERβ, and exerts genomic and non-genomic effects. GPER’s effect on the cardiovascular system has been controversial; evidence indicates it relaxes arteries, ...
Computer Vision and Simulation Tools For Three-Dimensional Random Antenna Arrays
(2017-04-25)
This research project aims to develop and improve auxiliary tools which aid in ongoing research on beamforming with random antenna arrays. One of the challenges of conducting research on random arrays is the tedious nature ...
Effect of Larval Secretions and Excretion on Selection of Food Source by Dermestes maculatus DeGeer
(2017-04-25)
Necrophagous insects utilize cues such as volatiles and compounds in the environment, collectively known as public information, while locating ephemeral resources such as a decaying corpse. Volatiles, including those emitted ...
Effects of Laser Energy on Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Nanocomposites
(2017-04-24)
Recent studies have shown that vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) materials possess many unique properties, including ferromagnetism. These properties can be used for spintronic applications, such as high density data ...
Structural insights into the regulation of JAK3 activity: Evidence from molecular modeling of the full human JAK3 protein
(2017-04-24)
JAK3 is a receptor-associated tyrosine kinase that functions as a key signal transducer within the JAK-STAT cellular signaling pathway to facilitate the production, proliferation, and differentiation of various cell types. ...
A Nebulizer System For Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Aerosols and Nanoparticles for Use in Preclinical Pulmonary Drug Delivery Studies
(2017-05-09)
This research project proposes to develop, integrate and characterize a nebulizer system for the nasal pulmonary delivery of radiopharmaceuticals in the form of aerosols containing nanoparticles for dynamic imaging studies ...
A Constraint Satisfaction Problem Approach to High-Entropy Alloy Design
(2017-04-24)
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are multi-principal element alloys at near-equiatomic concentrations that can have superior properties such as high irradiation resistance, high fatigue resistance, and high temperature usage, ...
Dehumanization in War and Combat: Rhetoric and Practice
(2017-04-24)
This research addressed dehumanization in times of war by considering the discourses of veterans from conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. I will analyze sources of non-fiction and fiction literature, and interviews archived ...
Improving Innate Immunity Through Genetic Editing of the 5’ Untranslated Region of Interferon Regulatory Factor 7
(2017-04-28)
Disease decreases production efficiency and kills millions of animals across all types of livestock operations every year. This is severely detrimental to both animal producers and consumers from an economic and overall ...
Stratigraphic Variation of the Leonardian (Permian) Avalon Shale and Bone Spring Formation, Southeastern Delaware Basin, Reeves County, West Texas, U.S.A.
(2017-05-03)
Stratigraphic thickness may vary as a member is deposited basinward of the shelf margin. Leonardian (Lower Permian) Avalon Shale and Bone Spring Formation strata of the southeastern region of the Delaware Basin in Reeves ...
