To overall explore how new media use presents a forum for discussions of inclusivity through personal narratives, this study investigates how religious discourse about feminism influences individual identity by analyzing ...
-
(2013-02-06)This study examines the frequency and spatial occurrence of Lyme Disease (LD) within the state of Texas. According to the CDC, LD is the most prevalent arthropod borne disease in the US with 33,097 cases reported last year ...
-
(2014-09-18)In recent years, the use of zebrafish as human disease models has been expanded to include several forms of human deafness. Zebrafish provide convenient hosts for genetic and developmental investigation. However, knowledge ...
-
(2013-09-19)Many electronics today are susceptible to harm caused by high power transient waveforms. To protect electronic devices and systems from high power transient waveforms, shielding or some form of electronic hardening is ...
-
(2014-09-17)Due to the inexpensive and light weight nature of Fresnel lenses, they are key components in many solar energy concentration systems. Thus, the ability to effectively characterize Fresnel lenses over large areas is essential ...
-
(2015-10-02)Lens-based solar concentrators have been widely used to reduce the photovoltaic(PV) receiver area and increase the solar irradiance on the PV receiver. In our previous work an indoor Lens Characterization Unit (LCU) was ...
-

-
(2021-04-28)This project investigates the use of low enriched uranium tristructural-isoptropic (TRISO) fuels in a potential lunar and martian nuclear reactor with the primary objective of minimizing overall reactor mass. Extraterrestrial ...
-
(2015-11-10)Sox genes encode transcription factors that function as part of a complex gene regulatory network governing development of the otic placode, the precursor of the inner ear. Sox genes have been implicated in maintaining ...
-
(2013-09-28)Hard ticks such as Amblyomma americanum are pool feeders that accomplish feeders by lacerating host tissue and then sucking host blood that bleeds into the wounded area. Host defense mechanisms to tick feeding activity are ...
-
(2013-02-04)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes and are thought to be critically involved in many biological processes. While the functions ...
-
(2014-08-14)We study the effects of thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) in particular vibrational non-equilibrium, in decaying turbulence using direct numerical simulation (DNS). The exchange mechanism between molecular vibrational and ...
