Load Balancing as a Design Method for Concrete Prestressed Bridge Girders
(2016-12-01)
Abstract: Load balancing is a design method for prestressed structural members, primarily beams and slabs, that provides efficient use of materials. When using load balancing, the prestressing tendon is designed for a ...
FSH and IGF-I signal via AKT to regulate beta-catenin accumulation and estradiol production in granulosa cells
(2016-05)
Estradiol is the female sex hormone that profoundly influences the female reproductive system from puberty to fertility. Circulating estradiol in women is synthesized primarily by ovarian granulosa cells in response to the ...
Application of Microfluidics for Emulsion Characterization
(2016-07-01)
The formation of emulsions is an inevitable process during crude oil production and refining. This is because of the complex multiphase flow resulting in the mixing of oil and water and formation of stable emulsions. The ...
Near-surface characterization using P- and S-wave tomography
(2016-12)
Near-surface seismic application, and those that mainly investigate the first 5 m of the subsurface, have to rely on analysis of transmission coda because reflections are typically lacking. Currently, full-waveform inversion, ...

Surface-charge-tuned Vanadia Nanowire Photolytic Hydrogen Generators
(2016-07-01)
The potential of hydrogen (H2) is greater than most other fuels in terms of energy density and clean emissions. H2 possesses an energy content per unit weight of 120 MJ/kg, three times that of gasoline. H2 generation by ...
Comparing the effects of antecedent-based interventions on task engagement
(2016-07)
A small-n, multiple treatment reversal design was utilized across subjects to investigate the effects of teacher greetings upon latency to task engagement and levels of on-task behavior, replicating prior studies conducted ...
Avatar skin(s): An autoethnographic journey to my place of education
(2016-07)
This autoethnography presents the avatar as a liberating learning platform for those who live on the edges of hegemonic and heteronormative society. I call this platform "avatar as place of education." I illustrate how my ...
Symmetric Exchange Graphs of Polymatroids
(2016-12-01)
White has conjectured that the toric ideal of a matroid is generated by quadric binomials corresponding to symmetric basis exchanges. Herzog and Hibi made a similar conjecture for discrete polymatroids. In this paper we ...
Bioremediation of Sites Co-contaminated with Benzene or Toluene and Heavy Metals
(2016-07-01)
Co-contamination of both organics and heavy metals are a common occurrence in hazardous waste sites. The contaminants enter the environment due to human activity and can leech through the soil, entering groundwater sources ...
