Effects of Simvastatin and Fluvastatin on Endothelial Invasion
(2011-08-04)
Endothelial invasion is a crucial step in angiogenic blood vessel formation and has ramifications in wound healing, tumor growth, and may have implications in heart disease. During invasion quiescent endothelial cells (ECs) ...
The Effect of Supercritical String Cosmology on the Relic Density of Dark Matter
(2009-06-09)
Supercritical String Cosmology (SSC) introduces a time-dependent dilaton and a central charge deficit into the history of the development of the universe. To balance the effect of the dilaton and the central charge deficit, ...
Effects of Labels on Visual Perceptions
(2009-06-09)
Labels simplify our world by reducing complex ideas into simple phrases. Research
suggests that labels even alter our visual perception to the point that we think images
carrying common labels look similar to each other ...
In Vitro Culture of 'Dog Ridge' Grapevine
(2009-06-09)
Vitis champini ‘Dog Ridge’ grapevine is a potentially desirable rootstock for Texas
grapevines because of its disease resistance. This selection is reported to be difficult to
root through hardwood cuttage as is often ...
Feasibility Analysis of Steam Reforming of Biodiesel by-product Glycerol to Make Hydrogen
(2009-06-09)
Crude glycerol is the major byproduct from biodiesel industry. In general, for every 100 pounds of biodiesel produced, approximately 10 pounds of crude glycerol are produced as a by-product. As the biodiesel industry rapidly ...
The Effects of Behavioral Training on Spinal Plasticity and ERK1/2 Phosphorylation, Within the Injured Spinal Cord
(2009-06-09)
Previous research has shown that even when communication between the brain and
spinal cord has been eliminated, rats can learn a simple instrumental response. If rats
receive shock to one hindlimb when it is extended ...
IMPLICIT MEMORY IN YOUNG ADULTS WITH ADHD: DOES IT INCLUDE A CONCEPTUAL PRIMING DEFICIT?
(2009-06-09)
This experiment explored the distinction between two implicit memory test paradigms:
identification versus production processes and conceptual versus perceptual processes.
These dimensions were crossed to produce four ...

A new fossil vertebrate fauna consisting of fish, snake, and small mammalian remains was discovered near McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, Texas. Identification and analysis of the species in the cave deposit reveals ...
Size, Solubility, and the Serotonin-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: In Search of an Improved Extracellular Domain Model
(2009-06-09)
The 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) is the only serotonin receptor that is not a G-coupled protein receptor. It has been implicated as a contributor to cytotoxic drug-evoked emesis, irritable bowel syndrome, pruritis, schizophrenia, ...
Investigating Dynamics of the STAT3 and C/EBPβ Pathways upon Stimulation by Inflammatory Cytokines
(2011-08-04)
The purpose of this project was to investigate the dynamics of the Jak-STAT3 (STAT3) and Erk-C/EBPβ (C/EBPβ) pathways upon stimulation with inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and oncostatin M (OSM), which ...
