Probing the Vibrational Relaxation of N2 and O2 by Use of CARS Spectroscopy to Model NTE-Turbulence (2009-06-09)The thermochemical dynamics associated with hypersonic flight and turbulent flow is vital to understanding the effects that hypersonic turbulence has on objects or vehicles traveling at speeds above Mach 5 (~ 1708 m/s). ...
-
(2013-02-04)Recent breakthroughs in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology have made huge reservoirs of previously untapped shale gas and shale oil formations available for use. These new resources have already made ...
-
(2012-05-02)Primary cells from cockatiel and duck embryos were prepared from unhatched cockatiel and duck eggs. They were expanded and frozen for storage and further use and evaluation. To transform the primary cells and generate a ...
-
(2017-04-24)Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees that coexist with marsh grasses and forbs at subtropical latitudes. Occasional freeze events keep mangroves from completely overgrowing marsh plants. There have not been severe freeze ...

(2011-08-08)In comparison to other professional programs of psychology, the field of school psychology has shown the least advances in regards to diversifying its practicing professionals and trainers of school psychology. Given the ...
-
(2015-09-28)The goal of this project is to develop a method for rapid and in situ identification of live and dead bacteria using absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy, and principal component analysis. To achieve this goal, ...
-
(2017-05-03)Pyrite survived extensive redox weathering in the Archean (4.0-2.5 Ga) due to lack of readily available atmospheric oxygen in coastal, shallow-water environments. However, instances of oxidized detrital pyrite are still ...
-
(2013-09-27)45% of deaths in the United States involve fibrosing diseases and the treatment of non-healing chronic wounds costs more than $25 billion annually in the United States alone. Scar tissue formation plays a critical role in ...
-
(2015-11-18)Phage mediated lysis of bacteria is one of the most common events in the biosphere, and a greater understanding of phage lysis mechanisms may lead to the development of novel antibacterial therapies. As they encode a single, ...
-
Antibiotic resistance is a prominent food safety concern. Antibiotics given to food animals may promote the development of antibiotic resistance within the present bacterial populations, which then poses a threat to both ...
-
(2013-09-19)Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and alpha spectroscopy were used to measure Plutonium (Pu) concentrations in soil samples from the Savannah River Site (SRS) and Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, the latter ...
-
Public Law 280 was a piece of legislation that dramatically altered the landscape of federal Indian jurisdiction. In order for its legal implications to be made clear, I will first define the general context of federal ...
