(2022-01-04)Human-computer interaction(HCI) has become a trendy research field recently. Many HCI systems are based on bio-signal analysis and classification. EMG signal which is formed due to muscle activation, is used in this thesis. ...
-
(2016-10-27)To put a computerized device under human control, various interface techniques have been commonly studied in the realm of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) design. What this dissertation focuses on is a myoelectric interface, ...
-
(2014-04-25)Myoglobin (Mb) is an oxygen binding hemoprotein in vertebrate skeletal muscle that functions in intracellular oxygen storage and transport. Due to the unique oxygen storage demands of diving birds and mammals, these ...
-
(2017-04-27)The family Myrmeleontidae, or antlions, is considered today as the largest family of the order Neuroptera. This cosmopolitan group comprises more than 1600 valid species and nearly 200 genera. The taxonomy of the family ...
-
(2011-02-22)The phylum Chaetognatha is a mysterious group of organisms that has eluded scientists for more than a century because of their unique morphology and developmental characteristics, i.e. protostome (mouth develops from ...
-
(2013-07-15)The appearance, use, and philosophy of the disabled detective are latent even in early detective texts, such as in Arthur Conan Doyle’s canonical Sherlock Holmes series. By philosophy, I am referring to both why the detective ...
-
(2014-12-05)Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) possess anti-inflammatory properties. The ...
-
(2014-05-29)CD4^(+) effector T cell subsets (e.g., Th1, Th17) are implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. For optimal activation, IL-6 induces Th17 polarization ...
-
(2011-02-22)T helper (Th) cell activation is necessary for the adaptive immune response. Formation of an immunological synapse (IS) between Th cells and antigen-presenting cells is the first step in Th cell activation. In vitro studies ...
-
(2011-07-30)Bioactive food components containing n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and curcumin modulate multiple determinants that link inflammation to cancer initiation and progression. In this dissertation, both transgenic and ...
-
(2009-05-15)Asymmetric hydrogenation as a general route to polypropionates has been explored for allylic alcohols, acids, and derivatives, which has led to the generation of 2,4-dimethylated hexane derivatives. Quantitative yields in ...
-
N-Heterocyclic Carbene Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Kinetics, Reactivity, and Recycling With Polymers (2012-10-19)N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are good ligands to most transition metals forming stable complexes. Many of the NHC-metal complexes are now widely used catalysts. However, the usage of these catalysts encounters the ...
-
(2012-07-16)Carbon nanotubes were dispersed and functionalized with polyethylene imine (PEI) before incorporation in a polyvinyl acetate matrix. The resulting samples exhibit air-stable N-type characteristics with electrical conductivities ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The N/Z, or ratio of neutron to proton, degree of freedom may be used to study intermediate energy nuclear collisions to give information about the origin of emitted collision fragments. Establishing under what conditions ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)When target and projectile nuclei have a difference in neutron to proton ratio (N/Z), the quasiprojectiles formed in a deep inelastic collision (DIC) should have a mean N/Z between the N/Z of the target and the N/Z of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Nitric oxide plays an important role in many biological functions. A metallo derivative in biological systems is a protein-bound dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC), which results from iron-sulfur cluster degradation in the ...
-
(2013-09-13)In Chapter I, I explain the chief features and underlying philosophy of the two warring poetic movements, imagism and symbolism, that have influenced my work. I also suggest reasons why coexistence among these two traditionally ...
-
