Analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of phytochemicals from prickly pear fruit (Opuntia spp.) in human cell culture
(2012-05-08)
Prickly pear is a long-domesticated cactus crop that is important in agricultural economies throughout arid and semiarid parts of the world. Secondary plant compounds found in similar consumable fruits and vegetables have ...
Pollen Dispersion in Relation to Meteorological Conditions, Seasonality, Location and Elevation in College Station, Texas, USA
(2012-04-30)
Pollen deposition has an immense effect on air quality and human health. There is new interest linking biogenic aerosols to possibly being cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). This field experiment focuses on pollen emission ...
TiN Coatings on Fuel Cladding Tube
(2012-05-04)
In this study, TiN coatings were deposited on HT-9 and MA957 stainless-steel tubes and polished bars. In order to deposit TiN coatings on those certain length tubes, we need to modify our stage in old chamber. We designed ...
STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF MILITARY SPENDING ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE WORLD SYSTEM FROM 1870 TO 1950
(2012-05-08)
This research project involves testing the relationship between military expenditure and the economic growth of countries from 1870 to 1950. We examine the graphs of a country’s economic growth with military expenditure ...
Exploring Hidden Genetic Divergence Within Sunda Colugos by Means of Novel DNA Capture Methods and Next Generation Sequencing
(2012-07-11)
It has been the goal of biologists to catalog and protect genetic diversity and variation
among biological organisms. The amount of diversity cataloged is growing every year.
In the twelve years between the latest two ...
Equilibrium and Stability of Rectangular Liquid-filled Vessels
(2012-07-11)
Here we focus on the stability characteristics of a rectangular liquid-filled vessel. The position vector of the center of gravity of the liquid volume is derived and used to express the equilibrium angles of the vessel. ...
An Evaluation Of The Performance Of Moving Average And Trading Volume Technical Indicators In The U.S. Equity Market
(2012-04-18)
This paper examines the profitability of several simple technical trading rules by using the S&P 500 index. The purpose of this research is to test the assumption that markets are efficient and therefore do not allow for ...
mRNA Destabilization: The Role of the 3?UTR in Post-transcriptional Regulation of Wnt8 Transcripts
(2012-07-11)
wnt8 is essential for normal embryonic development in vertebrates: severe
developmental malformations occur when wnt8 is either over- or under- expressed.
Therefore, wnt8 has to be activated at a specific time and for a ...
DIRECT INTERACTION OF ROTAVIRUS NON STRUCTURAL PROTEIN 4 WITH HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 56 PROTEIN
(2012-05-04)
Rotavirus (RV) causes more than 2 million diarrhea incidents and more than 600,000 deaths around the world every year. In order to prevent and treat this fatal disease, we must study, in depth, the mechanisms and pathogenesis ...
Tailor Synthesis of Nanostructures for Direct Integration Into Solar Cells
(2012-05-09)
The groundwork of this project is the application of CVD (chemical vapor deposition) to deposit thin layers of nanostructures; nanowires in particular. Methods and mechanisms will be studied in detail along with thermodynamic ...
