Proteomics Coupled with Metabolite and Cell Wall Profiling Reveal Metabolic Processes of a Developing Rice Stem Internode
(2017-07-13)
Internodes of grass stems function in mechanical support, transport, and, in some species, are a major sink organ for carbon in the form of cell wall polymers. This study reports cell wall composition, proteomic, and ...
CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF TUBULARS IN SOUR GAS ENVIRONMENT
(2017)
The existence of corrosive gases (CO2 and H2S) in oil wells under High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) condition exacerbates the severity of tubular corrosion and increases the need for different corrosion mitigation ...
Webs for Type Q Lie Superalgebras
(2017-12-15)
In the first part of this dissertation, we construct a monoidal supercategory whose morphism spaces are spanned by equivalence classes of diagrams called oriented type Q webs, modulo certain relations. We then prove a ...
Seismic Stratigraphy of a Circular Concave-Downward Structure, Chukchi Sea
(2017-12-15)
A circular concave-downward structure (CCDS) and its structural features and seismic facies can be observed in several 2D seismic lines imaging the Chukchi Sea planning area. The area in question is largely underexplored ...
Amplitude-frequency tradeoffs in the active sensory and communication signal of a weakly electric fish
(2017-06)
Animal communication signals play an important role in behavioral processes to ensure fitness and survivorship of individuals within a species. Weakly electric fish produce communication signals that could be among the ...
Citizen-driven policy mobility for urban agriculture
(2017-05-12)
The practice of sharing ideas among cities is almost as old as cities themselves. This relational phenomenon is particularly pronounced when it comes to policies focused on urban development or governance of land use. Often ...
Stable nitrogen isotope signal in crude oils throughout geologic time
(2017-05-12)
Stable nitrogen isotopic compositions of asphaltene and NSO hydrocarbon fractions from sixty-two crude oils derived from siliciclastic, carbonate/marl, hypersaline and lacustrine source rocks of known geologic age ranging ...
CHALLENGES OF THE AFRICAN UNION MISSION IN SUDAN: GROUNDED THEORY CASE STUDY 2004-2007 FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF US SENIOR OFFICIALS
(2017)
The African nations determined that an African continental body was needed to specifically address the African States’ needs for self-determination in addressing African problems, rather than relying on outside assistance, ...
Bison Hides and Biomechanics: Experimental Bioarchaeology of Wichita Scraper Technologies
(2017-05)
This study utilizes methodologies and theories from biological anthropology, archaeology, and kinesiology to conduct an experiment to test the effects of a change in Wichita scraping technologies during the Pre- and ...
Automated Detection of Bird Roosts Using NEXRAD Radar Data and Convolutional Neural Networks
(2017-12-15)
NEXRAD radars have proven to be an effective tool for detecting bird roosts for several species or birds, however manually locating these roosts in radar images is a time consuming process. We introduce a Convolutional ...
