(2018-04-25)In the medical field, there is a growing need for tissue replacements that are able to mimic the native structure and function of failing human tissues. 3D bioprinting is a manufacturing technique with the potential to ...
-
Traditional renditions of the idea of community have faced many new critiques in the face of our increasingly globalized world that has come to be organized into national communities, or nation-states. Following a ...
-
(2017-05-03)To address the growing demand for environmentally responsible plastics within and beyond the chemical manufacturing industry, this thesis will examine the synthesis and characterization of a novel class of degradable ...
-
(2009-06-09)A strong link has been established between children playing in nature and improved physical and emotional health. The intriguing biophilia hypothesis suggests that humans are hardwired with an innate love of nature and ...
-
(2011-08-04)Calculations of the nuclear response function for the Isovector Giant Dipole Resonance (IVGDR) have been carried out in the past using the discretized Hartree-Fock Random Phase Approximation (HF-DRPA). In many cases they ...
-
(2021-05-04)A problem that exists in the Nautical Archaeology Digital Library at the Texas A&M University is that there is no easy way to organize a database of images incorporating good filtering, tagging, and large cropping capabilities. ...
-
Autonomous, or self-driving, vehicles have been making headlines in recent years as new technologies develop. While they are increasingly used for human transportation, it frequently remains important for autonomous rovers ...
-
(2011-08-08)We present near-infrared (J & Ks) observations of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The goals of these observations are to better characterize the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation at these wavelengths, especially ...
-
(2017-05-09)This research project proposes to develop, integrate and characterize a nebulizer system for the nasal pulmonary delivery of radiopharmaceuticals in the form of aerosols containing nanoparticles for dynamic imaging studies ...
-
Explosive growth of the Internet, cluster computing, and storage technology has led to generation of enormous volumes of information and the need for scalable data computing. One of the central frameworks for such analysis ...
-
(2008-08-19)A new partitioning scheme, analogous to nodal domains, for the eigenfunctions of differential operators is constructed. The new scheme produces subdomains with Neumann boundaries instead of Dirichlet boundaries and will ...
-
(2011-01-11)Sympathy has not been not fully studied in the context of neural processes. Thanks to new methods of brain imaging and recording, the emotions anger, disgust, desire, and fear have been intensely studied, and new theories ...
-
Generic expressions make statements about nonspecific entities. Characterizing generic expressions make broad statements about classes of entities, without belonging to any temporal structure, while habitual generic ...
-
(2013-09-26)Motion planning (MP) is the problem of finding a valid path (e.g., collision free) from a start to a goal state for a movable object. MP is a complex problem with a myriad of applications, ranging from robotics, to ...
-
Line-based musculoskeletal simulation is important in both computer graphics and biomechanics research. Software such as OpenSim can provide simulations of musculoskeletal dynamics and neural control where it would be ...
-
(2011-01-11)Neurokinin Receptor Expression in the Lymphatic System. (April 2009) Parth Vijay Khade. Department of Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University. Research Advisor: Dr. Dave C. Zawieja, Department of Systems Biology ...
-
(2015-09-27)Neutron spectrum unfolding is used to adjust a known distribution in a reactor that is known to contain uncertainty. This known neutron spectrum is commonly determined in high resolution using transport codes such as MCNP. ...
-
(2007-09-17)This analytical model predicts the stress concentration around an elastic, spherical particle in an elastic-plastic metal matrix using strain gradient plasticity theory and a finite unit cell. The model reduces to the ...
-
(2015-04-21)Coronary artery disease (CAD), the number one cause of death in the United States, has traditionally been combated by reactionary diagnostics. However, the current healthcare dynamic is shifting towards a preventative ...
-
(2013-09-25)My research is on the ethical theories of Aristotle and Kant – the two most influential ethical theories in Western history. Despite their persuasiveness, each presents a different view with regards to the notion of morality ...
