Improvement of the Track-based Alignment Procedure of the CMS Muon System
(2013-12-02)
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is
used to explore subatomic interactions through proton-proton collisions. The resulting out-
burst of particles from these high energy collisions ...
Approaches to Forming a Water-soluble Extracellular Domain From α3 Subunits of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
(2013-12-16)
Obtaining structural information on the extracellular domain (ECD) of α3 subunits of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) by x-ray crystallography is desirable for the design of drugs intended to therapeutically ...
Device Association Through Passive Wi-Fi Monitoring
(2013-09-28)
This research initiative is focused on identifying associated devices using a network of wireless sensors. These sensors collect network traffic meta data in monitor mode. Monitor mode allows a receiver to see certain ...
Exploring the circadian outputs and function of HPT-1 in Neurospora crassa
(2013-09-28)
Although many genomes have now been sequenced, genes without a known function still comprise approximately 40% of both the human and Neurospora crassa genomes. The ability to control gene expression by both activation and ...
The Purpose of Party Manifestos: Relating Party Function and Strategy in Party Manifestos
(2013-09-24)
This paper is an effort to determine the purposes of party manifestos (aka platforms), and more specifically how a party’s experience in governance determines the strategies they pursue, through the structure of their ...
Analyzing Aqueous Solution Imbibition into Shale and the Effects of Optimizing Critical Chemical Additives
(2013-09-29)
Two methods of hydraulic fracturing most widely utilized on unconventional shale gas and oil reservoirs are “gelled fracturing” and “slick-water fracturing”. Both methods utilize up to several million gallons of water-based ...
Exploring Shape Grammar Optimization as a Tool for Automated Design
(2013-09-24)
Shape grammars are quite effective at representing the structure of objects, thus raising the question of whether they could be utilized for design automation or related techniques like procedural generation. However, ...
SPEAKING ABSENCE: CONSIDERING THE VOICE IN AUSCHWITZ
(2013-09-19)
Despite the proliferation of Holocaust literature and survivor testimonials, philosophy has largely ignored the problems that Auschwitz raises for the possibility of philosophic understanding in a post-Holocaust world. As ...
Investigation of the Morphology of the Heart of Zebrafish Embryos Exposed to Different Concentrations of Methylmercury
(2013-09-25)
Mercury is a well-known neurotoxicant. In its elemental form, mercury is easily distributed into the atmosphere due to its relatively low boiling point. Once elemental mercury becomes airborne it can travel long distances ...
CLATHRIN DYNAMICS AND ENDOCYTIC ORGANIZATION IN Aspergillus nidulans
(2013-09-26)
Polarized growth at the apex of filamentous fungi produces a unique cell type called a hypha. This form of growth found only in fungi, relies on numerous proteins to direct new growth to the cell apex. Endocytic recycling ...
