The purpose of this study was to identify elements of the theory of consumer interest, as described by Geller (2011), and the levels of which they appear in television commercials viewed by participants born in the Millennial ...
A Genetic Dissection of Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Biogenesis
(2014-04-08)
Mitochondria house the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), the main site for cellular respiration and energy production. The MRC consists of five large protein complexes (I-V) in
the inner mitochondrial membrane. Despite ...
Monomial Solutions to Generalized Yang-Baxter Equations in Low Dimensions
(2014-09-17)
Unitary solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation are important to quantum information science because they lead to unitary representations of the braid group, which can be used to design quantum logic gates that make up ...

(2014-01-22)
Sargassum, a pelagic brown alga, is a vital part of marine and coastal ecosystems. It serves as shelter for fish, turtles, and other hatchlings and juveniles. Sargassum acts as a source of food, as it reaches closer to the ...
BDNF Facilitates Instrumental Learning and Spinal Plasticity In Vivo.
(2014-01-27)
Prior work has shown that the neurotrophin, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), fosters adaptive plasticity within the spinal cord. To be clinically useful, BDNF must be applied over extended periods of time (days ...
Development of an analytical procedure using 1-nitropyrene metabolites as urinary biomarkers of exposure to diesel particulate matter
(2014-01-17)
Diesel exhaust particulate matter (DPM) is a major contributor to air pollution and has been recently classified as a group 1 human carcinogen. The combustion of diesel produces a variety of compounds including polycyclic ...
MOLECULAR METHODS SURVEY OF HARMFUL ALGAE IN SHIPS’ BALLAST WATER
(2014-02-20)
Harmful algal blooms (HAB) are increasing in frequency and diversity in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Texas coast. In 2016, the U.S. EPA and U.S. Coast Guard will require monitoring of ballast water discharged from all ...
