Single-site polymerization catalysts: branched polyethylene and syndiotactic poly(alpha-olefins)
(2009-05-15)
Utilization of methylaluminoxane (MAO) activated metallocene and constrained
geometry (CGC) olefin polymerization catalysts containing fluorenyl or
octamethyloctahydrodibenzofluorenyl (Oct) moieties has yielded three series ...
Interannual variability of summer precipitation in Texas and its implication to summer drought
(2009-05-15)
Since Texas normally receives most of its precipitation in the warm season, precipitation deficits in summertime may bring serious agricultural and hydrological disasters. While the underlying physical processes of summer ...
Uncovering the circadian output pathways of Neurospora crassa
(2009-05-15)
The ubiquity of circadian systems has allowed their characterization in a broad range of
model systems, which has greatly improved knowledge of how these systems are
organized and the vast range of cellular and organismal ...
An object-oriented framework to organize genomic data
(2009-05-15)
Bioinformatics resources should provide simple and flexible support for genomics research. A huge amount of gene mapping data, micro-array expression data, expressed sequence tags (EST), BAC sequence data and genome sequence ...
The roles of working memory, language proficiency, and training in simultaneous interpretation performance: evidence from Chinese-English bilinguals
(2009-05-15)
Simultaneous interpretation is a cognitively demanding task involving concurrent listening and speaking in two languages. Successful performance in this task likely relies on a good working memory, which reflects a person’s ...
A framework for knowledge-based team training
(2009-06-02)
Teamwork is crucial to many disciplines, from activities such as organized sports to
economic and military organizations. Team training is difficult and as yet there are few
automated tools to assist in the training task. ...
Multiterminal source coding: sum-rate loss, code designs, and applications to video sensor networks
(2009-05-15)
Driven by a host of emerging applications (e.g., sensor networks and wireless video),
distributed source coding (i.e., Slepian-Wolf coding, Wyner-Ziv coding and various other
forms of multiterminal source coding), has ...
Essays on econometric modeling of subjective perceptions of risks in environment and human health
(2009-05-15)
A large body of literature studies the issues of the option price and other ex-ante
welfare measures under the microeconomic theory to valuate reductions of risks inherent
in environment and human health. However, it does ...
Factors that influence follow-up after an abnormal mammogram
(2009-05-15)
The focus of this study was to explore women’s experiences with follow-up after
an abnormal mammogram, and factors that influence follow-up. Factors, including
health status, found in the cancer screening and treatment ...
Reburning renewable biomass for emissions control and ash deposition effects in power generation
(2009-05-15)
Cattle biomass (CB) has been proposed as a renewable, supplementary fuel for co-firing and
reburning. Reburning coal with CB has the potential to reduce NOx and Hg emissions from coal
fired systems. The present research ...
