Studies of surface plasmons and localized surface plasmons at terahertz frequencies
(2009-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The goal of this study is to investigate the physical mechanism of field enhancement in plasmonic subwavelength structures in the terahertz regime. Such plasmonic structures were fabricated by ...
Incorporating seepage processes into bank stability analyses
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The overall objectives of this research were to better understand the mechanisms of bank erosion and failure by ground water seepage and to incorporate seepage processes (i.e., seepage erosion ...
Bovine respiratory disease: Effects on performance, immune response, cytokines and gene expression
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective was to determine the effects of timing of an intratracheal Mannheimia haemolytica challenge relative to 72-hour exposure to bovine viral diarrhea type 1b (BVDV1b) persistently ...
Vespertilioninae systematics: Using mitochondrial and nuclear markers to elucidate phylogenetic relationships
(2009-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Elucidating evolutionary relationships within Vespertilioninae has been challenging due to a paucity of useful morphological characters, convergent evolution of lineages, and potentially rapid ...
Pre-synaptic cholinergic and cannabinergic signaling in the expression of organophosphate toxicity
(2009-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Organophosphorus toxicants (OPs) inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) leading to acetylcholine (ACh) accumulation and cholinergic toxicity. The current approach for treating OP intoxication has ...
Whirlwind Woman: Native American tornado mythology and global parallels
(2009-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This research encompasses Native North American tornado-related ethnohistorical material from the seventeenth century through the twentieth century. It explores and analyzes the relationships ...
Kindergarten students' exploratory math talk within a collaborative discourse community
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: This qualitative teacher research study examined what is revealed in Kindergarten students' exploratory math talk. In addition, classroom discourse was analyzed to provide an understanding of the ...
Intimacy, passion, commitment, physical affection and relationship stage as related to romantic relationship satisfaction
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Quantitative Analysis utilizing Pearson correlation coefficients, Factor Analysis, MANOVA, and linear regression.
Effects of direction of motion, length of spatial distance, and differences in velocity on temporal interval estimates of visual stimuli
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The vast majority of psychophysical research involving velocity, distance, and duration fails to take into account the effects of each of these dimensions on the perception of the others. In this ...
