Heavy-Atom Tunneling in Ring-Opening Pericyclic Reactions - A Computational Exploration
(2015-09-04)
Though ubiquitous in everyday organic reactions, the phenomenon of tunneling must often be corrected for, and the elusive and subtle nature of its appearance in experimental studies allows it to be a continued interest for ...
Application of Generalized Multiscale Finite-Element Method (GMsFEM) for Seismic Wavefield Simulation in Geological Models with Fluid-Solid Interface
(2015-09-22)
Numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation is widely employed to characterize petroleum reservoirs and complex geological structures. Conventional numerical wave equation simulation methods can become prohibitively ...
The Effects of Polyphosphate on Chemotaxis
(2015-11-12)
Wound treatment in the United States costs $25 billion annually (Sen, Gordillo et al. 2009) and one in a hundred people are hospitalized each year for a wound that requires professional medical attention (Drew, Posnett et ...
A Graphical User Interface for Composing Parallel Computation in the STAPL Skeleton Library
(2015-09-17)
Parallel programming is a quickly growing field in computer science. It involves splitting the computation among multiple processors to decrease the run time of programs. The computations assigned to a processor can depend ...
The Effect of Phosphorylated Glucose on Major Pathogens of Bovine Mastitis
(2015-11-12)
Mastitis is the number one infectious disease on dairies. Treatment and prevention is mainly through good milking hygiene, proper environmental conditions, and antibiotic usage. For organic dairies, mastitis prevention and ...
Roots of Sparse Polynomials over a Finite Field
(2015-09-29)
For a $t$-nomial $f(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^t c_i x^{a_i} \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$, we show that the number of distinct, nonzero roots of $f$ is bounded above by $2 (q-1)^{1-\varepsilon} C^\varepsilon$, where $\varepsilon = 1/(t-1)$ ...
Shapeshifter and Chameleon: Grendel as an Indicator of Cultural Fears and Anxieties
(2015-09-25)
The Anglo-Saxon poem, Beowulf, has seen many revivals and revisals. It has been employed within contemporary society primarily as a form of entertainment, but has also been evoked in the name of political reform and used ...
Small GTPASE ARL3 Regulates Flagellar Motility in Chlamydomonas reinhardatii
(2015-09-23)
Movement of proteins and cargo from the cell body to the flagellar tip is carried out by the intraflagellar transport system (IFT). IFT is composed of multiple protein subunits that are responsible for the building and ...
Experiential Learning in Undergraduate Research
(2015-11-13)
The purpose of this research is to answer two primary questions regarding education and a student's engagement in the classroom: does depth of experience influence student engagement, and does sequence of experience influence ...
Optimization of Capillary Gel Electrophoresis for the Analysis of Serum
(2015-11-17)
Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) is a protein separation technique that could help identify disease biomarkers using microliters of human blood serum. Analytical techniques that separate serum proteins with high sensitivity ...
