(2007-09-17)We are interested in determining the effects of subterranean termite soldier ratios on the overall cellulose consumption of Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes. In nature, Coptotermes formosanus is found in ...
-
(2006-07-11)The retinas of birds and other vertebrates undergo morphological and physiological changes throughout the day, which help regulate daily changes in visual sensitivity. One particular change is the contraction and elongation ...
-
(2012-04-20)SMP foams have unique properties that make them well suited for certain medical applications. SMP foam has the ability to be programmed to “remember” a temporary shape, and once heated can revert back to its original ...
-
(2014-01-15)Supplemental fat is predominantly fed in feedlots to increase the energy value of the ration. Feedlots utilize supplemental fat to replace energy from grains because of its lower cost per unit of DE. Our objective was to ...
-
(2015-11-23)Lighting is a vital aspect of every commercial poultry operation. Since chickens are a photorefractory species, an inadequate lighting program could be detrimental to their growth and productivity. Few studies have looked ...

Comparison of Thiol-ene and Tetrazine Click Crosslinking of Gelatin Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering (2020-04-13)Chemically crosslinked gelatin hydrogels are popular biomaterials applied for uses such as 3D matrices for tissue engineering applications. Gelatin hydrogels can be chemically crosslinked using various reactions that fall ...
-
(2014-01-22)Beef cattle production is profoundly dependent on the diets provided to the cattle and their ability to promote growth. Dietary markers significantly aid beef cattle nutritionists by providing an index to measure diet ...
-
Item recommendation is an increasingly important research topic that focuses on analyzing the relationships between products to recommend items to users based on their preferences or previous activity. These systems are ...
-
(2014-09-20)The remarkable development of embedded computing devices in the past few decades has greatly improved the computing ability of our embedded and mobile devices. Mobile phones, for example, have developed from simple telephony ...
-
(2012-05-04)Urban water management specifies both supply-side and demand-side strategies to balance water supply and demands for social and environmental systems. As the sustainability of water resources depends on the dynamic ...
-
(2014-10-06)A material’s dielectric properties are determined by its molecular structure, other properties of interest such as the interactions with an applied electromagnetic field can be correlated to the dielectric properties. ...
-
(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. ...
-
(2010-07-14)Shape memory polymer foams may be used to treat vascular aneurysms through thermal actuation of the foam from a compacted to an expanded configuration within the aneurysm structure, thereby alleviating blood pressure on ...
-
(2015-09-25)3,4-Dihydroxymandelic Acid (DHMA) has been reported to attract Escherichia coli by binding to the serine-binding sites of the bacteria’s Tsr chemoreceptor. Signaling via the Tsr chemoreceptor may promote the growth and ...
-
(2020-04-20)This paper proposes a new computer architecture that is designed to be specifically lean and secure. Due to recent advances in network speeds which allow users to pull data from the internet just as fast as from local hard ...
-
(2019-04-29)The purpose of this study was to explore and understand the behavior of microtubule protofilaments (MT PFs) in a dynamic environment through molecular dynamics simulations. MTs play a vital role in various cellular processes ...
