Principles of Aristotle’s Poiesis as a Foundation for Human-Centered Engineering Design
(2013-02-27)
In order to improve design methodology and better utilize human-centered design (HCD) approaches, there is a need for an intellectual foundation to reconcile HCD with traditional design approaches. A method from Aristotle, ...
INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLAMMATORY SIGNALING PATHWAYS AND INDOLEAMINE 2,3-DIOXYGENASE IN GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME
(2013-02-04)
Pervasive tumors appear to evade immune detection through manipulation of the immune response, though precisely how this occurs is not well understood. A further understanding
of these details may be achieved through the ...
A Test Stand for the Muon Trigger Development for the CMS Experiment at the LHC
(2013-05-02)
Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the flagship experiments in particle physics operating at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). CMS was built to search for signatures of Higgs bosons, supersymmetry, and other new phenomena. ...
Composition of Exopolymer Particles Produced By Marine Diatoms
(2013-02-04)
Microbial processes in the sea are an essential component of the Earth’s biosphere. Planktonic microorganisms constitute the majority of photosynthetic primary producers in the ocean in terms of both abundance and biomass. ...

Temporal and spatial distribution of the black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Texas and its association with climate variation
(2013-02-06)
On average approximately 80 cases of Lyme Disease are diagnosed in Texas annually, yet recent studies conclude Texas is considered at low risk for exposure to the disease pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi, based upon collections ...
Investigating the Horizontal Distribution of Hydrographic Properties of the Texas-Louisiana Shelf Using an Undulating Towed Vehicle
(2013-02-04)
Observations of salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorophyll-a, and CDOM fluorescence were collected using an Acrobat (Sea Sciences Inc.) undulating towed vehicle during an oceanographic survey in June 2012. These observations ...
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 ...
Process Design and Integration of Shale Gas to Methanol
(2013-02-04)
Recent breakthroughs in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology have made huge reservoirs of previously untapped shale gas and shale oil formations available for use. These new resources have already made ...
