Quantifying antioxidant activity of lycopene and influence of watermelon maturity on tissue ultrastructure and lycopene distribution
(2006-07)Scope and Method of Study: Lycopene, a lipophilic antioxidant, plays a crucial role in biological systems. Watermelon, a natural source of lycopene (~48.7µg/g), could be a useful ingredient in functional foods. Correlating ... -
Quantifying fluvial resistance of streambanks using jet erosion tests
(2014-12)The United States has over forty-thousand impaired water bodies with sediment listed as one of the top five causes of impairment. Recent research has found that more than 50% of fine sediment in watersheds originates from ... -
Quantifying groundwater interaction with streams and thermal regime implications
(2017-12)Groundwater interaction plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystems and is involved in a range of water quantity and quality issues. However, quantifying stream-groundwater interactions has been difficult and labor ... -
Quantifying phosphorus loads and streambank erosion in the Ozark Highland Ecoregion using the SWAT model
(2015-12)Phosphorus (P) and sediment are major pollutants of waterbodies in the United States. Recent research has shown that future management practices must consider legacy P, especially from streambanks. Identifying and quantifying ... -
Quantifying sediment loads from streambank erosion and potential load reductions from streambank stabilization using process-based modeling
(2017-07)Unstable streambanks contribute a significant sediment load to surface waters in some watersheds. Streambank stabilization techniques are available to increase stability of streambanks or reduce erodibility, thereby reducing ... -
Quantifying the efficiency and quality of air void distributions in concrete
(2022-05)This work establishes new ways to measure and examine the air bubble distribution within concrete. This is important to provide freeze thaw durability and resistance to oxychloride formation. These bubbles decrease the ... -
Quantifying the trainability of peripheral nerve function in young and older adults
(2023-05)It is well known that the natural progression of age can result in motor neuron degeneration. Consequently, this leads to slowing of nerve conduction, denervation, and reduced motor function. Slowing nerve speed can alter ... -

Quantitative inquiry into Federal Aviation Administration Flight Inspection Services Safety Significant Events
(2014-12)The purpose of this case study of the FAA, Flight Inspection Services Safety Significant Events database from 2009 through 2012 was to discover if there are relationships between a set of independent variables and the ... -
Quantitative measures of the EEG and their implications as a diagnostic adjunct for depression
(1993-12)Recent EEG studies utilizing alpha band power density asymmetry to investigate differences between groups of pathological and normal individuals suggest that asymmetry may serve as a good discriminator between these two groups.
