(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this study was to develop a model for impacting decisions on agricultural biotechnology practices in food production among African policymakers. The research focused on three African countries, namely, South ...
Rice Transformation as a Means to Study Gene Expression
(2010-10-12)
An exceptionally effective transformation procedure has been established by using class
I embryo-derived rice callus. Every treated callus clump yielded multiple independently
transformed plants (average 40 plantlets). ...
Design, Syntheses and Applications of Fluorescent Dyes
(2010-10-12)
New methodologies for the efficient syntheses of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4adiaza-
s-indacenes (BODIPYs) and rosamines were developed. A serendipitous discovery
led to a new reaction which afforded BODIPYs in high yields. ...
The Effects of Parceling on Testing Group Differences in Second-Order CFA Models: A Comparison between Multi-Group CFA and MIMIC Models
(2010-10-12)
Using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) and multiple-indicator-multiple-cause (MIMIC) to investigate group difference in the context of the second-order factor model with either the unparceled or parceled ...
Comparison of Methods for Assessing Viability of Equine Spermatozoa and Effects of Seminal Plasma on Viability and Motion Characteristics of Equine Spermatozoa
(2010-07-14)
Assessment of sperm viability is an important component for evaluating
stallion sperm quality. The flow cytometer is considered the standard in the
assessment of sperm plasma membrane integrity (viability); however, ...
Modeling and Analysis of Large-Scale On-Chip Interconnects
(2010-07-14)
As IC technologies scale to the nanometer regime, efficient and accurate modeling
and analysis of VLSI systems with billions of transistors and interconnects becomes
increasingly critical and difficult. VLSI systems impacted ...
Closed Path Approach to Casimir Effect in Rectangular Cavities and Pistons
(2010-07-14)
We study thoroughly Casimir energy and Casimir
force in a rectangular cavity and piston with various boundary
conditions, for both scalar field and electromagnetic (EM) field.
Using the cylinder kernel approach, we find ...
