HOT Lane Policies and Their Implications
(2011-08-08)
High-Occupancy toll (HOT) lanes allow lower-occupant vehicles (LOVs) to use a HOV lane for
a fee, while maintaining free travel to qualifying HOVs. HOT lanes are gaining interest
throughout the country as a strategy for ...
Solutions of Eshelby-Type Inclusion Problems and a Related Homogenization Method Based on a Simplified Strain Gradient Elasticity Theory
(2011-08-08)
Eshelby-type inclusion problems of an infinite or a finite homogeneous isotropic elastic body containing an arbitrary-shape inclusion prescribed with an eigenstrain and an eigenstrain gradient are analytically solved. The ...
Cellular Function and Localization of Circadian Clock Proteins in Cyanobacteria
(2011-08-08)
The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus builds a circadian clock on an
oscillator comprised of three proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, which can
recapitulate a circadian rhythm of KaiC phosphorylation in vitro. The ...
Identification of Loci Interacting with Melanocortin-1 Receptor to Modify Black Coat Color in an F2 Nellore-Angus Population
(2011-08-08)
In cattle, base color is attributed to activity at the melanocortin-1 receptor
(MC1R), historically termed the extension locus, with alleles coding for black (ED), red
(e), and wild-type (E+). These alleles, in most mammals, ...
A Dynamical Systems Approach Towards Modeling the Rapid Pressure Strain Correlation
(2011-08-08)
In this study, the behavior of pressure in the Rapid Distortion Limit, along with its
concomitant modeling, are addressed. In the first part of the work, the role of pressure in
the initiation, propagation and suppression ...
Development of a Pulse Modulator for Active Flow Control in Turbomachinery
(2011-08-08)
In todays highly maneuverable jet aircraft designs, aircraft are required to have a propulsion system that can operate during sudden accelerations and rapid changes in angle-of-attack. Consequently, the compressor of the ...
On Coating Durability of Polymer Coated Sheet Metal under Plastic Deformation
(2011-08-08)
Polymer coated sheet metal components find diverse applications in many industries. The manufacturing of the components generally involves forming of sheet metal into the desired shape and coating of the formed part with ...
Criteria Combinations in the Personality Disorders: Challenges Associated with a Polythetic Diagnostic System
(2011-08-08)
Converging research on the diagnostic criteria for personality disorders (PDs) reveals that most criteria have different psychometric properties. This finding is inconsistent with the DSM-IV-TR PD diagnostic system, which ...
Determination and Characterization of Ice Propagation Mechanisms on Surfaces Undergoing Dropwise Condensation
(2011-08-08)
The mechanisms responsible for ice propagation on surfaces undergoing dropwise
condensation have been determined and characterized. Based on experimental data
acquired non-invasively with high speed quantitative microscopy, ...
Difference Between Hispanic Adolescent Males in Alternative and Regular Education Placement
(2011-08-08)
Researchers have identified numerous risk and protective factors that might provide
insight into the academic difficulties and success that Hispanic adolescents experience.
Maladjusted outcomes cannot be attributed to a ...
