Micro/nano-patterning of supported lipid bilayers: biophysical studies and membrane-associated species separation
(2009-05-15)
Micro/nano-patterning of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) has shown considerable potential for addressing fundamental biophysical questions about cell membrane behavior and the creation of a new generation of biosensors. ...
Mexican American Mothers' Perceptions of Childhood Obesity and Their Role in Prevention
(2011-02-22)
The childhood obesity epidemic continues to escalate, disproportionately impacting Mexican American children. It is unclear how Mexican American mothers, who are at high-risk of rearing obese children, perceive childhood ...
Initial full-time classroom teaching experiences for interns and student teachers: factors contributing to their mathematics teaching development
(2009-05-15)
In the Teaching Principle (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
[NCTM], 2000), it explained that development and utilization of pedagogical content
knowledge required teachers to continually increase their knowledges ...
Effects of carbohydrate applications on growth and vitality of live oak (Quercus virginiana)
(2009-05-15)
Urban forests grow in stressful environments that can have negativerepercussions on tree energy reserves. The goal of this research was to evaluate theimpact of exogenously applied carbohydrates on growth and vitality of ...
Experimental study of gas turbine blade film cooling and internal turbulated heat transfer at large Reynolds numbers
(2009-06-02)
Film cooling effectiveness on a gas turbine blade tip on the near tip pressure side and on the
squealer cavity floor is investigated. Optimal arrangement of film cooling holes, effect of a full
squealer and a cutback ...
Adaptive finite element methods for fluorescence enhanced optical tomography
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Fluorescence enhanced optical tomography is a promising molecular imaging
modality which employs a near infrared fluorescent molecule as an imaging agent
and time-dependent measurements of fluorescent light propagation and ...
Patterns and predictors of mental health service use and serious mental illness among community-dwelling elderly
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Older adults have historically utilized mental health services at substantially low
rates. Unfortunately, though professional, policy, and other recent developments
portend an increase in service use, there has been scant ...
Examining the application of conway-maxwell-poisson models for analyzing traffic crash data
(2009-05-15)
Statistical models have been very popular for estimating the performance of highway
safety improvement programs which are intended to reduce motor vehicle crashes. The
traditional Poisson and Poisson-gamma (negative binomial) ...
Effects of prebiotics on growth performance, nutrient utilization and the gastrointestinal tract microbial community of hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis) and red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)
(2009-05-15)
A series of experiments examined the effects of four potential prebiotics--
GroBiotic®-A (a mixture of partially autolyzed brewers yeast, dairy components and
dried fermentation products), mannanoligosaccharide (MOS), ...
Electric field manipulation of polymer nanocomposites: processing and investigation of their physical characteristics
(2009-05-15)
Research in nanoparticle-reinforced composites is predicated by the promise for
exceptional properties. However, to date the performance of nanocomposites has not
reached its potential due to processing challenges such as ...
