Nondestructive Testing of Overhead Transmission Lines: Numerical and Experimental Investigation
(2011-02-22)
Overhead transmission lines are periodically inspected using both on-ground and helicopter-aided visual inspection. Factors including sun glare, cloud cover, close proximity to power lines and the rapidly changing visual ...
Analysis of No-Flow Boundaries in Mixed Unconfined-Confined Aquifer Systems
(2010-07-14)
As human population increases, demand for water supplies will cause an increase in pumping rates from confined aquifers which may become unconfined after long-term pumping. Such an unconfined-confined conversion problem ...
Bigger Eyes in a Wider Universe: The American Understanding of Earth in Outer Space, 1893-1941.
(2010-07-14)
Between 1893 and 1941, the understanding of the Milky Way galaxy within the
American culture changed from a sphere to a spiral and Earth's location within it changed
from the center to the periphery. These changes were ...
BIOTIC RESPONSE TO PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE MIDDLE EOCENE OF BLAKE NOSE, WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC
(2010-07-14)
Geochemical proxy records of sea surface environmental conditions at Blake Nose indicate short-term high amplitude variations. In order to investigate the response of calcareous nannoplankton to these short-term sea-surface ...
Transcriptional Regulation of Galectin 15 (LGALS15): An Implantation-Related Galectin Uniquely Expressed in the Uteri of Sheep and Goats
(2010-10-12)
Galectins are a family of secreted animal lectins with a high affinity to betagalactosides
commonly involved in cellular functions such as apoptosis, adhesion and
migration. Galectin 15 (LGALS15), a newest member of the ...

The manufacturing process has been a heavily studied area over the past century. The
study completed herein has established a foundation for the future of manufacturing
research. The next step of this industry is to become ...
Effects of High Nighttime Temperature and Role of Plant Growth Regulators on Growth, Development and Physiology of Rice Plants
(2010-07-14)
Seasonally high nighttime temperatures (HNT) along the United States Gulf
Coast and in regions of similar climate, during the critical stages of development, could
reduce rice yield and quality. To study the effects of HNT ...
