Dendroclimatic Relationship of Sampling Mountain Birch
(2015-09-27)
Arctic treelines have been used as global indicators of climate change. Study has shown that terrestrial vegetation has migrated up-and-down mountain sides throughout the Holocene. Mountain birch (Betula pubescens ...
The Effects of Tryptophan Metabolites on Virulence of Salmonella Typhimurium
(2014-12-10)
Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that invades the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract from the intestinal lumen by targeting intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). It is able to breach the protective IEC barrier with the aid ...
A study on the chemical and physical inactivation of Avian bornavirus
(2013-09-26)
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is the etiological agent of Proventricular Dilatation Disease, a fatal neurological disease of pet and aviary kept Psittacine birds (parrots). ABV is believed to be transmitted through the fecal-oral ...
Prediction of Ti-6Al-4V Chip Morphology & Surface Characteristics from Machining Forces due to Adiabatic Shear Banding
The research objective of this project is to measure and investigate the ultra-high
frequency aspects of adiabatic shear banding (ASB) during the Ti-6Al-4V chip generation
process through the use of a piezoelectric-based ...
Energizing the Future: Integration of Renewable Energy onto the Texas Electric Grid

Virtual Patching: Fighting Brute Force Attacks in a Software Defined Network
A new design for virtual patching applications is presented for software defined network environments. Based on OpenFlow implementation, a software defined network can be programmed to intelligently detect threats and ...
Therapeutic Genome Editing of Complex Vertebral Malformation in Cattle
Autosomal recessive genetic disorders such as Complex Vertebral Malformation (CVM) cause a significant economic burden to dairy producers and impede genetic progress in the dairy industry as a whole. Many of these diseases, ...
A Maximum Likelihood Sequence Equalizing Architecture Using Viterbi Algorithm for ADC-Based Serial Link
Channel impairments in high data rates make Analog-to-digital (ADC) serial link a very attractive choice in terms of bandwidth efficient modulation; however, power limitation of these receivers make the ADC front-end design ...
Assessment of Degradation for Porous PCL-PLLA Semi-IPN Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) Implants for Cranial Defect Repair
Within cranial bone defect treatments, autografts remain the current gold standard for best healing outcomes. However, if the defect is of a unique shape, this process proves difficult and often requires additional surgeries. ...
Extending Internet to Powerless Areas
Literature Review
The lack of internet in undeveloped countries and other rural areas is detrimental to the development of the area. Access to internet can have many profound effects on developing countries such as creating ...
