Web-based Stereo Rendering for Visualization and Annotation of Scientific Volumetric Data
(2010-01-16)
Advancement in high-throughput microscopy technology such as the Knife-Edge
Scanning Microscopy (KESM) is enabling the production of massive amounts of high-resolution
and high-quality volumetric data of biological ...
Impact of Written Emotional Disclosure and Gender on Capsaicin-Induced Inflammation, Allodynia, and Spontaneous Pain
(2010-01-15)
Prior research has shown that affective valence and arousal interact to alter pain
perception. One personally relevant method of inducing affective states is the written
emotional disclosure procedure. The current study ...
Optimal Design and Scheduling of Unsteady State Material Recovery Networks
(2010-01-14)
This research developed novel methodologies to achieve cost effective solutions to
overcome many of the difficulties associated with unsteady state material recovery
network synthesis. The work focuses on the development ...
Origin and Evolution of the Chukchi Borderland
(2010-01-14)
The origin of the Amerasia Basin, in the Arctic region, is nowadays a highly
controversial topic due to the paucity of geophysical data available and the difficulties in
interpreting possible seafloor spreading magnetic ...
Development of Lewis Base Catalyzed Stereoselective Methods for Synthesis of Beta- Lactones and Dyotropic Rearrangements of Tricyclic Beta-Lactones.
(2010-01-14)
The recent finding that the FDA-approved antiobesity agent orlistat (tetrahydrolipstatin, Xenical) is a potent inhibitor of the thioesterase domain of fatty acid synthase (FAS) led us to develop a concise and practical ...
Low Density Nuclear Matter in Heavy Ion Collisions
(2010-01-14)
The symmetry energy is the energy difference between symmetric nuclear matter
and pure neutron matter at a given density. Around normal nuclear density, i.e.
p/p0 =1, and temperature, i.e. T = 0, the symmetry energy is ...
Characterization of Drip Emitters and Computing Distribution Uniformity in a Drip Irrigation System at Low Pressure Under Uniform Land Slopes
(2010-01-15)
Characteristics of emitters under low pressure are essential for designing drip
irrigation systems. Low pressure data for drip emitters are not available from
manufacturers. A laboratory test was conducted to evaluate the ...
Characterization of Self-Consolidating Concrete for the Design of Precast, Pretensioned Bridge Superstructure Elements
(2010-01-14)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a new, innovative construction material that
can be placed into forms without the need for mechanical vibration. The mixture
proportions are critical for producing quality SCC and require ...
3-D Electrical Resistivity Tomography for Cliff Stability Assessment at Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, France
(2010-01-14)
Pointe du Hoc overlooking the English Channel in Normandy, France was host to
one of the most important military engagements of World War II. While the site is a
valuable historic cultural resource, it is vulnerable to ...
Development of Advanced Optics and High Resolution Instrumentation for Mass Spectrometry Based Proteomics
(2010-01-14)
Imaging mass spectrometry (MS) analysis allows scientists the ability to obtain
spatial and chemical information of analytes on a wide variety of surfaces. The ability to
image biological analytes is an important tool in ...
