Genomic Approaches to Study Innate Immune Response to Salmonella Enteritidis Infection in Chickens
(2010-01-14)
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) is one of the most common food-borne
pathogens that cause human salmonellosis. Contamination of consumed poultry products
continues to be a global threat to public health. Genetic ...
Optimization Algorithms for Information Retrieval and Transmission in Distributed Ad Hoc Networks
(2010-01-14)
An ad hoc network is formed by a group of self-configuring nodes, typically
deployed in two or three dimensional spaces, and communicating with each other
through wireless or some other media. The distinct characteristics ...
The Development of a Frequency Control System of a Seeded Laser for DGV Application
(2010-01-15)
For an effective Doppler Global Velocimeter (DGV), there is a requirement to
accurately record and tune the frequency content of the laser used. The laser used for
this experiment was an ND:YAG. Adjusting the mean frequency ...
A Numerical Simulation of Thermal and Electrical Properties of Nano-fiber Network Polymer Composites Using Percolation Theory and Monte Carlo Method
(2010-01-14)
Polymer matrix composites reinforced by metal fibers are observed to present an
onset of the insulator-to-conductor transition through previous experimental studies.
Analytical studies revealed that the percolation threshold ...
Production of cerium oxide microsheres by an internal gelation sol-gel process
(2010-01-14)
The experiments performed for this research were completed to produce solid
cerium oxide microspheres by an internal gelation sol-gel process. The motivation for
this work was to develop a process that would enable the ...
Dynamic Control of Serial-batch Processing Systems
(2010-01-14)
This research explores how near-future information can be used to strategically control a batch processor in a serial-batch processor system setting. Specifically, improved control is attempted by using the upstream serial ...
Metal Nitride Diffusion Barriers for Copper Interconnects
(2010-01-14)
Advancements in the semiconductor industry require new materials with
improved performance. With the introduction of copper as the interconnect material for
integrated circuits, efficient diffusion barriers are required ...
Why Can't We All Be Friends? Do Friendships Influence a Person's Perception of Racial Teasing?
(2010-01-16)
The purpose of this study was to explore how having Mexican American friends
influences a person?s perception to racial/ethnic (Mexican American) specific teasing.
This study sought to extend the research on friendships ...
Development of a Microfluidic Device for Synthesis of Lipid Bi-Layer In-Situ
(2010-01-14)
Lipid bi-layers are ubiquitous components of biological cells and are found in a variety of cell components. In biological membranes, lipid bi-layer membranes carry membrane proteins, which control transport of material ...
Are Virtual Teams More Just? An Investigation of How Reducing Social Categorization Can Increase Female Participation in Male-Dominated Teams.
(2010-01-14)
Organizations use work teams to solve complex problems in innovative ways.
As such, an abundance of diverse ideas, suggestions, and information should help
organizations generate quality products and remain competitive. ...
