Detection and Quantification of Carbon Nanotubes Through Thermal Response to Electromagnetic Radiation
(2018-04-26)
When exposed to an electromagnetic field, the heat generated by CNTs is proportional to the power of the field and the concentration of CNTs exposed. Additionally, the field’s frequency, the sample geometry, heat transfer ...
Requirement of Osr1 in second heart field (SHF) for proper outflow tract (OFT) alignment
(2018-04-23)
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is current in 1/3 of all birth defects and has the prevalence of 1 in 1000 births.1 1/3 of all CHDs consist of cardiac outflow tract (OFT) defects.1 Despite its high prevalence, the genetic ...
Solitude: A Human Condition
(2018-04-24)
Solitude is a condition that affects everyone. Even more than this, the vocabulary we use to describe solitude varies from loneliness to isolation to alienation, but in its essence, solitude refers to the different physical, ...
The Impact of CeO2 Engineered Nanomaterials on the Soil-Water Holding Properties: A Pedostructure Characterization Approach
(2018-04-19)
With the increase in the demand for food and clean water, non-conventional water reuse has taken a lot of attention recently. However, the impact of the reused water is still being researched. A widely used variety of ...
Incorporating Electrospun Fibers Into Ultra-Strong Hydrogels
(2018-04-26)
Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that exhibit high biocompatibility due to their high water content. In applications such as musculoskeletal repair, their main limiting factor is their relatively low ...
Novel, Conserved RNA Secondary Structures in MHV-A59, Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) and MERS-CoV
(2018-04-30)
Betacoronaviruses are a subgroup of viruses in the family Coronaviradae known to cause an array of diseases in humans and animals. In this study, we aim to determine the RNA secondary structures of Mouse Hepatitis Virus, ...
The Island They Called Home: The Disappearance of the Karankawa
(2018-04-30)
This research focuses on the period of colonial settlement in Texas in the early 19th century. During the 1800s the indigenous people of Galveston saw increased pressure from settler movements. The political construct of ...
The Price of Acceptance: Socioeconomic Factors and College Students' Attitudes Towards Individuals with Disabilities
(2018-05-07)
Prior research has focused on how other factors may impact college students’ attitudes toward individuals with disabilities (e.g., Griffin et al., 2012), as well as how economic factors predict attitudes toward social ...
Stressor Controllability and Motivated Attention Toward Negative and Neutral Pictures: An Event-Related Potential Study
(2018-05-03)
Initial experiences of control/uncontrollability may affect subsequent encounters with stressors. Here, 48 participants completed an S1-S2 task, in which they passively viewed a negative or neutral picture (S1); following ...
Downscaled Tropical Cyclones in Simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum
(2018-04-26)
A prominent area of current study is how tropical cyclone (TC) behavior will respond to future changes in global climate. One way to complement this research is by analyzing TC characteristics in simulations of past climates. ...
