Epithelial cells line surfaces of the human body. Since they define the boundary between internal and external environments, these cells maintain a polarity, created by localizing proteins at opposite ends of each cell, ...
-
Resistive switching in metal-insulator-metal devices is promising as an alternative to flash memory. The change in resistance from insulating to conducting and back again is theoretically caused by the formation and partial ...
-
Current, most 3D semantic segmentation models for autonomous driving are mainly trained on spinning Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data because spinning LiDAR sensors have been one the most popular sensors for autonomous ...
-
3D Printing is a growing field of interest, with research topics and commercial advancements in materials, processes, and systems. One of these advancements is the introduction of Independent Dual Extrusion (IDEX) Fused ...

(1984)This study compared the erosion/accretion rates of five shoreline types surrounding Galveston Island and Pelican Island, Texas. The shoreline types examined included sandy beach, mud flat, salt marsh, shell beach, and mud ...
-
(1978)Eighteen sleep disturbed college students received either systematic desensitization or muscle relaxation training. After a one week baseline self-observation period, subjects underwent three half-hour therapy sessions. ...
-
Current study abroad trips rely on students utilizing GPS directions and digital maps for navigation. While GPS-based navigation may be more straightforward and easier for some to use than traditional paper maps, studies ...
-
(1997)Diatoms (marine algae) are the largest contributor of biological productivity in the Antarctic. As the siliceous diatoms die their tests begin to accumulate on the sea floor, and preserve a record of how environmental ...
