(2015-11-12)
Understanding dental anxiety is important to gain insight on its origins and potential treatments.
In this study, pre-health fields (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician’s assistant, and veterinary) are compared to ...
Neutron Spectrum Unfolding using the Lasso Regression Method
(2015-09-27)
Neutron spectrum unfolding is used to adjust a known distribution in a reactor that is known to contain uncertainty. This known neutron spectrum is commonly determined in high resolution using transport codes such as MCNP. ...

(2015-09-30)
The research objective of this project is to investigate the unique combinations of material property and topology gradients exhibited within a class of nature’s hierarchical material systems, which are optimized to achieve ...
Porting and Deployment Oberon System on Raspberry Pi
(2015-09-29)
With the advent of low-cost programmable embedded systems (e.g. Raspberry PI, VoCore,
Arduino) the need emerges for software development tools that are efficient simple to use and
inherently safe. In this project, we ...

Study of Cryphonectria parasitica, Chestnut Blight, in East Texas
(2015-11-18)
The iconic fungal pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight, is known for the phenomenon of hypovirulence attributed to dsRNA. Hypovirulence is a trait caused by infection of the fungus with a ...
The Morphology and Evolutionary Change of Mandibles of Select Species within Ephemeroptera
(2015-10-02)
Within the order Ephemeroptera, the relationship between morphology and food and niche specialization is poorly studied. In particular, mandibular morphology has not been well documented. Due to the absence of this data, ...
Behavioral Response and Imaging of Motor Flagella in E. Coli
(2015-09-22)
Chemotaxis in E. coli is controlled by signaling from membrane-bound chemoreceptors to flagellar motors. This determines the direction that the flagella rotate. These flagellar motors can switch from clockwise (CW) to ...
