The Vulnerability of Eastern North American Plethodontidae Salamanders to Climate Change
(2014-08-07)
Many biologists rely on environmental niche modeling to predict where species will migrate upon imminent climate changes. These coarse-scale approaches base species’ movements on variables such as temperature, habitat, and ...
Application of Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy to Estimate Post Mortem Interval
(2014-10-06)
Estimating the post mortem interval of human remains is extremely important in death scene investigations. Currently, the rate of decomposition is gaged by a number of techniques, such as insect development, a function in ...
Demand for Empirical Course Data
(2019-04-19)
We perform a randomized control trial in which we provide students with a tool that visualizes empirical grade information of classes at a large public university. Visualization viewership is monitored and demand is linked ...
Machine Learning for Raga Classification in Indian Classical Music
(2019-02-11)
Indian Classical music consists of “Ragas”. Ragas are combinations of notes in a particular order. There are 72 combinations of these notes that form the 72 parent Ragas. The names of the Ragas are written around the circle ...
Physical Activity for People With Autism Spectrum Disorder
(2019-04-23)
People with disabilities are significantly less physically active than are people without disabilities (CDC, 2017). There is significant research on the benefits of physical exercise for people with a disability (Darcy, ...
The Role of Wetlands in Mitigating the Social Costs of Disasters
(2019-04-29)
Social costs associated with disaster recovery in the United States have been on a rise in recent decades given unprecedented number of extreme weather events including floods, coastal storms and hurricanes. Understanding ...
Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for the Detection of Underlaying Dyes on Re-Dyed Hair
(2019-04-19)
Hair evidence is one of the most common types of evidence in the field of forensic sciences, yet analysis is subjective and is interpreted by an analyst, adding in bias to the outcome of the analysis. By applying Surface ...
Computer Simulation of Dynamic Behaviors of Microtubule Protofilaments
(2019-04-29)
The purpose of this study was to explore and understand the behavior of microtubule protofilaments (MT PFs) in a dynamic environment through molecular dynamics simulations. MTs play a vital role in various cellular processes ...
Looking for a Novel Double Mutant: Single Deletion in Drosophila melanogaster of Galectin-1 and Galectin Homologue
(2013-02-04)
Galectins represent a group of proteins that bind β-galactosyl-containing glycoconjugates and share primary structural homology in their carbohydrate recognition domains. In mammals, galectins contribute to cell-cell ...
Examining the Impact of Service Interruptions on Social Groups During Natural Disasters
(2019-05-02)
Natural disasters place tremendous pressure on critical infrastructure systems by testing their service reliability under extreme conditions. System failures are inevitable during harsh events, and prolonged disruptions ...
