A Nonlinear Positive Extension of the Linear Discontinuous Spatial Discretization of the Transport Equation
(2012-02-14)
Linear discontinuous (LD) spatial discretization of the transport operator can
generate negative angular flux solutions. In slab geometry, negativities are limited
to optically thick cells. However, in multi-dimension ...
Development and Investigation of Synthetic Skin Simulant Platform (3SP) in Friction Blister Applications
(2012-02-14)
Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is the first line of defense between the vulnerable organs and tissues of the body and the environment. Healthy skin is paramount to avoiding infection and disease. Therefore, ...
Reflectance and Fluorescence Confocal Microscope for Imaging of the Mouse Colon
(2012-02-14)
Many Americans are afflicted with inflammation of the colon. They are also at a
higher risk of developing colon cancer. Confocal microscopy of bulk epithelial tissue has
the potential to provide information on tissue ...
Biomarkers of Exposure to Foodborne and Environmental Carcinogens: Enterosorbent Intervention in a High Risk Population
(2011-10-21)
The need to assess human exposures to foodborne and environmental carcinogens, particularly in populations at high risk for cancer and disease, has led to the development of chemical-specific biomarkers. Sensitive biomarkers ...
The Emotional and Spiritual Dimensions of Being a Pastor: Authenticity and Identity
(2011-10-21)
Emotional labor and its influence on authenticity and identity amongst human service workers has been the focus of numerous studies. Often these studies viewed identity as a stable sense of self. This study set out to ...
An Economic Study of Carbon Capture and Storage System Design and Policy
(2012-10-19)
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and a point of electricity generation is a promising option for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. One issue with respect to CCS is the design of carbon dioxide transport, storage and ...
Evaluating Utility Executives' Perceptions of Smart Grid Costs, Benefits and Adoption Plans To Assess Impacts on Building Design and Construction
(2011-10-21)
Smart Grid technology is likely to be implemented in various magnitudes across utilities
in the near future. To accommodate these technologies significant changes will have to
be incorporated in building design construction ...
Postfledging Survival and Movements of Willow and Dusky Flycatchers in the Central Sierra Nevada
(2011-10-21)
Understanding factors limiting population growth is critical for species exhibiting declining populations. Reproductive success has an important effect on population dynamics; however, our ability to accurately estimate ...
Characterization of the Bacteriophage Lambda Holin and Its Membrane Lesion
(2011-10-21)
Bacteriophage holins are a diverse group of proteins that are responsible for the spontaneous and specifically-timed triggering of host cell lysis. The best-studied holin, S105 of phage lambda, is known to form lesions, ...
