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 ...
Two Applications of Simulation in Healthcare Decision Making
(2019-04-26)
This study investigated the use of simulation modelling to promote informed decision making in two contexts: healthcare operations and classroom education. The first of these relied on a simple game-based model under a ...
The Prevalence of Anaplasma spp. Infection in Blood Samples of Puerto Rican Cattle.
(2019-04-24)
Anaplasma spp., the causative agent of Anaplasmosis in bovine species, is a rickettsial parasite that is transmitted through tick-vectors. The species of Anaplasma that are known to infect cattle are Anaplasma centrale, ...
On a Series Involving Euler's Function
The goal of this thesis is to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of an equivalence to the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) proven by Jean-Louis Nicolas. Nicolas’ proof relates RH to an inequality of Euler’s totient function ...
Streamlining TNS Data Collection for ML-Based RTL QoR Prediction
Chip designs must meet several requirements before they are ready for fabrication. One of these requirements is achieving convergence on timing (frequency). Meeting this requirement is a time-consuming task for chip designers ...
