Interactive e-Cube Games for Cognitive Assessment
(2022-04-21)
This dissertation presents a low-cost adaptive method for cognitive assessment using the e-Cube system. It features six games: Assembly (e-CubeA), Shape-Matching (e-CubeS), Sequence-Memory (e-CubeM1), Spatial-Memory ...
Examining the Function of Meat Sharing in Savanna-Dwelling Chimpanzees at Fongoli, Senegal
(2022-03-29)
Humans form social groups that are larger, more complex, and more cooperative than those of any other vertebrate taxa, which begs the question of how this level of social organization emerged. Food sharing is often considered ...
Overlooked Significance of Chromium(V) and Chromium(IV) in Environmental Chemistry and Influence of Peroxyacetic Acid on Chromium in Wastewater
(2022-04-19)
Chromium (Cr) redox chemistry in the environment occurs through intermediate species penta-valent Cr (Cr(V)) and tetra-valent Cr (Cr(IV)) which are highly reactive. Environmental literature lacks substantial information ...
Interfacial Phenomena of Crude Oil/Brine/Rock/Surfactant Systems in Lower 48 Shale Reservoirs and Their Optimum Surfactant Structures for Enhanced Oil Recovery Process
(2022-04-13)
This study investigates how the structure of surfactant molecules interacts with the crude oil/rock/brine system characteristic of unconventional liquid reservoirs. In most cases, the interaction results in the improvement ...
