Effects of Hurricane Katrina on the Mammalian and Vegetative Communities of the Barrier Islands of Mississippi
(2010-01-14)
The barrier islands of the gulf coast of the U.S. have been shaped and changed by hurricanes for centuries. These storms can alter the vegetation of the barrier islands by redistributing sediments, scouring off vegetation, ...
Study of Laminar Flow Forced Convection Heat Transfer Behavior of a Phase Change Material Fluid
(2010-01-14)
The heat transfer behavior of phase change material fluid under laminar flow conditions in circular tubes and internally longitudinal finned tubes are presented in this study. Two types of boundary conditions, including ...
Carotenoid In Planta Development, Storage, and Bioaccessibility: A Comprehensive Approach to Nutrient Analysis
(2010-01-14)
Plants contain a host of secondary metabolites that may be of dietary use to man. A comprehensive approach to plant-based nutrition would include investigating all aspects of a nutrient, from creation through storage and ...
A Monte Carlo Investigation of Three Different Estimation Methods in Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling Under Conditions of Data Nonnormality and Varied Sample Sizes
(2010-01-14)
The purpose of the study was to examine multilevel regression models in the context of multilevel structural equation modeling (SEM) in terms of accuracy of parameter estimates, standard errors, and fit indices in normal ...
Characterization of telomerase RNP in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2010-01-14)
Telomeres are critical for the integrity of eukaryotic genomes. They function to
protect chromosome ends from DNA damage surveillance and inappropriate repair.
Telomeres are maintained by the specialized ribonucleoprotein ...
Computations of Laminar Flow Control on Swept Wings as a Companion to Flight Test Research
(2010-01-14)
The high cost of energy has resulted in a renewed interest in the study of
reducing skin-friction drag in aeronautical applications. Laminar Flow Control
(LFC) refers to any technique which alters the basic-state flow-field ...
The Effect of Set Induction on student knowledge, attitude, and engagement levels of high school agricultural science students
(2010-01-14)
The purpose of this study was to determine if applying set induction to the
beginning of a lesson would have an effect on student knowledge, attitude, and/or
engagement levels throughout the lesson. Researchers addressed ...
Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Populations and Their Relationships to Dermo (Perkinsus marinus) Infection and Freshwater Inflows in West Matagorda Bay, Texas.
(2010-01-14)
The present study explored the spatial and temporal demographic trends in oyster population dynamics and their relationships to freshwater inflows and the pathogen Dermo (Perkinsus marinus) on three reefs (Shell, Mad Island, ...
Host-Associated Differentiation in an Insect Community
(2011-02-22)
Host-Associated Differentiation (HAD) is the formation of genetically divergent hostassociated
lineages maintained by ecological isolation. HAD is potentially an important
route to ecological speciation in parasites including ...
Numerical Simulation of the Flow Field in 3D Eccentric Annular and 2D Centered Labyrinth Seals for Comparison with Experimental LDA Data
(2011-02-22)
The flow field in an annular seal is simulated for synchronous circular whirl orbits with 60Hz whirl frequency and a clearance/radius ratio of 0.0154 using the Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. Fluent's Moving ...
