Computational investigation of non-covalent stabilization of nanoparticle suspensions and their propagation in porous media
(2016)
In this study, Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) methods were used to investigate computationally the non-covalent stabilization of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in water by using polymers ...
Characterization of the iron sulfide oxidation products formed during reductive dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic contaminants
(2016-05)
The overarching objective of this research is to investigate the transformation of iron sulfide, mackinawite (FeS), in contaminated environments. A special research focus is to investigate the FeS oxidation products formed ...
Novel Finite Element Method to Predict Blast Wave Transmission Through Human Ear
(2016-08)
As military weapons systems continue to become more powerful, the noise levels they generate become more dangerous to the soldiers deploying them. This has increased the need for advanced methods of evaluating the risks ...
EMPIRICAL TRANSITION PROBABILITY INDEXING GENOME SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT BASED ON CUDA
(2016-05)
After Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) was discovered, finding the similarities in proteins became a fundamental procedure. In recent years, there has been a rapid development in alignment technologies. Alignment is the basic ...
USING THE INTEGRATIVE MODEL TO PREDICT VEGETABLE SUBGROUP CONSUMPTION AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS
(2016)
Although eating the recommended amount of vegetables is associated with many health benefits, vegetable consumption is low among college students in the United States. “Vegetable consumption” is a behavioral category, ...
Implementation of pesticide applicator certification schools and continuing education workshops / Dennis Martin, Clayton Hurst, Lydia Calhoun.
(Oklahoma City, OK : Oklahoma Department of Transportation, 2016., 2016-03)
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation's (ODOT) herbicide applicator training program consists of initial pesticide applicator training schools, independent certification testing, sprayer calibration workshops and ...
an-contradiction : the implications of the arms-for-hostages scandal for U.S.-Iranian relations Undergraduate
(2016)
The legacy of the Iran-Contra scandal in the United States is irrefutable. Not only did Iran-Contra tarnish the Reagan administration, traumatizing the federal bureaucracy with criminal indictments, but it also exposed ...
Cell Wall Alterations During Lateral Root Emergence in Oryza Sativa
(2016)
In rice seedlings, lateral roots (LRs) develop through several layers of extant tissues, including multiple cortex cell layers, as well as single files of sclerenchyma, exodermis, and epidermal cells. In contrast to typical ...
Mechanical Degradation of Well Cement in HPHT Carbonic Acid Environment: Experimental Studies and Mathematical Modeling
(2016)
Cement exposed to brine saturated with CO2 gas undergoes combination of chemical processes leading to mechanical degradation after placement behind the casing. These processes are influenced by downhole conditions such as ...
Sequence Evolution and Expression of the Androgen Receptor and Other Pathway-Related Genes in a Unisexual Fish, the Amazon Molly, Poecilia formosa, and Its Bisexual Ancestors
(PLos One, 2016-06-01)
The all-female Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa) originated from a single hybridization of two bisexual ancestors, Atlantic molly (Poecilia mexicana) and sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna). As a gynogenetic species, the ...
