Analyzing Porosity using Petrographic Imaging Methods: Key for Petrophysics
(2013-09-25)
The porosity in rock can be quantified and characterized using a variety of direct methods including imbibition methods, mercury injection, gas expansion, petrography, X-ray tomography, and image analysis. However many of ...
Implementing and Testing Upstream Corner Balance Methods in PDT
(2013-10-01)
Among the many applications that require solutions of the particle transport equation are nuclear reactors, medical imaging, medical therapy, photon interaction in the atmosphere and oceans, industrial systems, and radiative ...
Insights Into the Effect of Trigonelline in the P53 Pathway
(2013-09-26)
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Early screening has improved detection of precancerous polyps, however, colon cancer still claims over fifty thousand lives per year. ...
ACOUSTIC VOCALIZATIONS OF DOLPHINS AND EFFECTS OF ANTHROPOGENIC NOISE
(2013-09-25)
The effects of anthropogenic noise on acoustic communication among cetaceans have become an increasing concern because cetaceans use acoustic communication as a major part of their interactions. Human contribution to the ...
Plasma Citrulline Levels in Horses at Risk of Acute Laminitis
(2013-04-10)
Laminitis is a painful and irreversible disease in horses in which the soft tissue structures of the foot, called the laminae (connecting the coffin bone to the hoof wall), lose blood flow and deteriorate. Without the ...
An Attribute Analysis of Looted Skeletal Remains from the Site of Panquilma in the Lurin Valley of Peru
(2013-09-28)
Panquilma is a 13th–15th century pre-Hispanic community of the Lurin Valley in Lima, Peru and is located in the hinterland of Pachacamac, an important religious center of the ancient Andes. Sector 03 is composed of hundreds ...
RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT REMOVAL FROM WATER USING GRAPHENE OXIDE (GO)
(2013-12-19)
The objective of this research is to test the ability of Graphene Oxide (GO) to attract and hold heavy radionuclides to be mechanically filtered out using an aluminum oxide ceramic filter. The radionuclides of interest are ...
DESIGN OF A SUBCRITICAL AQUEOUS TARGET SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL ISOTOPE PRODUCTION
(2013-12-10)
The United States consumes almost half of all medical isotopes produced worldwide, and relies on foreign sources for nearly its entire supply. These isotopes are produced in nuclear reactors which are very costly to ...
Engineering Deletions in the Mg1-Pk1 Gene Cluster of Streptomyces sp. Mg1 to Abolish Production of the Mg1-Pk1 Metabolite
(2013-09-25)
Many species of bacteria produce secondary metabolites in response to competitor species and changes to their local environment. Streptomyces sp. Mg1 (S. Mg1) produces the polyketide metabolite Mg1-Pk1, which participates ...
THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT ESTRADIOL DELIVERY METHODS ON PLASMA ESTRADIOL LEVELS IN MICE
(2013-12-16)
Evidence suggests that estrogen plays a role in decreasing the risk of developing colon cancer. Numerous animal studies demonstrate possible mechanisms to explain how estradiol (E2) prevents this disease. Many of these ...
