Elucidation and quantification of the decomposition products of sodium dithionite and the detection of peroxide vapors with thin films
(2014-07)
Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) is an oxidizable sulfur oxyanion often employed as a reducing agent in environmental and synthetic chemistry. When exposed to the atmosphere, dithionite degrades through a series of decomposition ...
Role of pragmatic language in aging and its relationship with quality of life
(2014-05)
The study examined the relationship between pragmatic language decline and older adults' quality of life, as well as social factors that could affect health. Quality of life is a term used to describe an individual's life ...

Frontier apart: Identity, loyalty, and the coming of the Civil War on the Pacific Coast
(2014-07)
The development of a Western identity, derivative and evolved from Northern, Midwestern, and Southern identities, played a significant role in determining the loyalty of the Pacific States on the eve of the Civil War. ...
Establishing governing equations for 3D cell culture in perfusion bioreactors
(2014-05)
Culturing cells and regenerating tissues in vitro on 3D scaffolds involves several challenges, such as efficient nutrient transportation, uniform stress distribution, and the removal of wastes. Bioreactors not only allow ...
Developmental signaling and acute lung injury
(2014-05)
The present study is initiated to explore the potential implication of developmental signaling in AEC I injury, acute inflammatory response, and host defense against pathogen invasion during the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS.
Identification of essential skills for entry level athletic trainers in South Louisiana: A Delphi study
(2014-07)
Context: Entry-level athletic trainers enter the workforce with the skills taught to them by athletic training programs (ATPs) using the Competencies developed by our accrediting body.
Pulsed induction, a method to identify genetic regulators of determination events
(2014-12)
Determination is the process in which a stem cell commits to differentiation. The process of how a cell goes through determination is not well understood. Determination is important for proper regulation of cell turn-over ...
Assessing the evolution of dissolved inorganic carbon and stable carbon isotopes in surface waters
(2014-07)
Documenting the transformation of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) during the interaction of surface waters with atmospheric CO2(g) is vital for understanding carbon cycling. We conducted field and laboratory experiments ...
