In this paper, I analyze how drag queen Trixie Mattel utilizes fantasy themes to push the limits of drag performance based on overlapping performative principles of art, comedy, gender, and popular culture. I explore the ...
-
Centrifugal compressors take in large volumes of gases, some of which are toxic and extremely dangerous. To contain these gases and avoid any leakages from taking place, dry gas seals are utilized. Dry gas seals need to ...
-
(2011-08-04)The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC), is on the rise. UC is modeled in rodents by the consumption of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain ...
-
For this project, I will build upon previous work on phenomenology and the interconnectedness of the world. By utilizing past works on phenomenology, the relation of space, and subjectivity vs. objectivity, I will analyze ...
-
The process of 3D printing concrete is a relatively new concept compared to traditional manufacturing and even novel techniques such as 3D printing using plastics and metal. A general concern in the construction industry ...
-
Data races are a type of bug in concurrent programming which can result in unexpected program behavior. When multiple threads modify the same memory location in parallel, a data race occurs. Detecting these races is a ...
-
Substantial discoveries and achievements in space are waiting to be made. Even though increasing public and private investment has considerably decreased the barrier to entry, many significant advancements require expensive ...

(2015-09-04)Blood-contacting medical devices rapidly adsorb plasma proteins that initiate clot (i.e. thrombus) formation. Antithrombotic drugs may reduce clotting and associated device dysfunction and ischemia, but put the patient at ...
-
(2013-09-25)Proper formation of lineage restrictions is important in developing animals to ensure healthy development. While mechanisms that form these restrictions are understood in invertebrates, it is not yet known what contributes ...
-
(2017-04-27)Six effector proteins of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium - SseC, SseG, SseI, SseK1, SteB, and SopD - were studied in order to determine their molecular contributions to virulence. Data collected from a high-throughput ...
-
(2014-10-03)Water shortage has been a challenge in developing hydraulic fracturing in drought-affected areas such as South (Eagle Ford) and West (Permian Basin) Texas. Non-potable groundwater is a potential alternative to fresh water ...
