Robustness of Compressed Sensing in Sensor Networks
(2008-05-22)
Compressed sensing is a new theory that is based on the fact that many natural
images can be sparsely represented in an orthonormal wavelet basis. This theory holds
valuable implications for wireless sensor networks ...
ANALYSIS OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR HUMAN TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR 3 DOMINANT NEGATIVITY AND SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION
(2009-06-09)
Toll-like receptors are an important part of the innate immune system and mediate infection via the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) recognizes foreign-derived ...
Identifying and Mapping Parallel Mutations of GAR-3
(2009-06-09)
This research identifies a gene that potentially works acetylcholine receptor protein GAR-3. We isolated nematodes (roundworm) Caenorhabditis elegans that are resistant to the drug arecoline, which stimulates behaviors ...
Ancestral Polynesian Pottery Production and Exchange Analysis Using LA-ICP-MS
(2009-06-09)
This thesis examines the production and distribution of ancestral Polynesian pottery on Tutuila Island, American Samoa and evaluates the extent of intra-island interactions. Currently, very little is known about ceramic ...

the 21st century. The current statistics, based on purchasing power parity, place the U.S.
as having the world’s largest economy. ...
HPLC AND Mass Spectroscopic Characterization of Mango (Mangifera Indica L.) Gallotannins Following Enzymatic Hydrolysis
(2009-06-09)
Mangos contain numerous compounds that have been shown to exhibit antioxidant
properties. These compounds, most of which are polyphenolics, are linked to anti-cancer
and anti-inflammatory activities in the body. Mangos ...

This study examined the association between childhood trauma and adult dissociative tendencies through analyses of the mediating and moderating effects of emotional invalidation. Participants (N = 185, ages 17-24, 62.2% ...
A New Mutation Causing Male-Male Courtship in Drosophila
(2007-09-17)
Courtship in Drosophila is an innate behavior, one that is hardwired into the genetic architecture of the fly. A small number of mutations are known to disrupt the genes controlling the neurological basis of courtship; ...
State Reaction to Kelo v. City of New London
