Acoustic Velocity Study in Tight Anhydritic Dolomite of the Late Permian Khuff Formation
(2016-12-16)Carbonate reservoirs are usually associated with diagenesis processes which result in complex mineralogy and pore structure. As a result, rock physics models that predict the petrophsyical properties using seismic based ... -
ACTIVATION OF MURINE DENDRITIC CELLS THROUGH STING PATHWAY INTERACTIONS WITH GLYCATED CHITOSAN
(2024-05-10)N-dihydrogalactochitosan (Glycated Chitosan, GC) is a promising immunoadjuvant for cancer therapeutics. Synthesized from chitin and galactose, GC stimulates the innate and adaptive antitumor immune responses more potently ... -
Adaptive Classroom Project Management: Facilitating Collaborative Science Inquiry with Scrum
(2017-05-12)New standards such as NGSS require science teachers to shift the focus of classroom teaching to making sense of phenomena and designing solutions to problems, engaging in three dimensional learning, and developing 21st ... -
Additions From an Apostate: Petrus Alfonsi and a Shift in Anti-Jewish Polemic
(2018-05-12)In the Twelfth Century, Petrus Alfonsi converted from Judaism to Christianity and wrote his Dialogi contra Iudaeos. In this polemical text, Alfonsi utilized Islamic science and reason to attack Judaism and the Talmud as ... -
Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composites
(2020-05-08)Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a category of additive manufacturing in which parts are fabricated via extrusion of material along a print path one layer at a time. A part is first created as a 3D computer-aided design ... -
Additive Manufacturing of HDPE Using Selective Laser Sintering
(2019-05-10)Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that bonds solid powder particles into complex 3-Dimensional (3D) shapes. These objects are constructed by repeatedly sintering or fusing layers of ... -
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF LOW-TEMPERATURE CO-FIRED CERAMICS FOR MICROWAVE APPLICATIONS
(2016-05-14)Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies enable fabrication of structures directly from CAD files. Due to these technologies adding material one layer at a time, complex, 3D structures can be realized. The microwave industry ... -
Additive Manufacturing of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Nanocomposite Sensors
(2019-05-10)Highly elastic nanocomposite strain sensors have recently received considerable attention in academic research due to broad applications in fields, such as biomedical and robotics. These sensors combine flexible polymers, ... -
Addressing Outdoor Throughput Sensitivity for Mobile Vehicles by Enhancing the VMESH MAC Protocol
(2019-05)To provide safe and efficient transportation, Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) allow for the communication between a vehicle to another vehicle and for the communication between vehicles and stations near the road. As ... -
Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(2017-05)A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ... -
Adsorption of Biomass Torrefaction Vapors on Activated Carbon
(2017-12)Energy is a growing need for the modern economy; however, global reliance on nonrenewable resources is problematic. The United States transportation infrastructure in particular was built around the combustion of petroleum ... -
Adsorptive Trapping of Bio-oil Compounds onto Activated Carbon
(2016-08)Industrialization and its long-term effects on the environment are receiving increased scrutiny from both political and environmental pundits questioning environmental sustainability in a time of globalization. Traditional ... -
Advertising the Impossible Earth: The Visual Culture of Post-Apollo Space Colony Concept Art
(2022-08)In post-Apollo America, speculative visions of life in space were shaped by the unabashedly optimistic space colonization proposals of physicist Gerard Kitchen O’Neill. O’Neill presented these self-contained artificial ... -
An Aeroecological Assessment of Aircraft Bird Strike Predictability Using Weather Radar and Citizen Science
(2021-05-14)World-wide air traffic has increased at an average rate of 1.8% per year since the 1980s. With this increase in aviation, there has been a marked intensification of aircraft-wildlife collisions netting an estimate of nearly ... -
Affect, Emotion Regulation, and Leader Effectiveness: Examining the Role of Trait Affect and Emotion Regulation on Leader Problem Solving Performance
(2016-08)Emotion-related constructs, such as affect and emotion regulation, have been identified as being critical to effective leadership. Prior research in both of these areas has tended to examine the role of these constructs ... -
Affective Representation and Infrastructure in Allan Sekula's Fish Story, 1989-2017
(2023-05-12)In 1989, contemporary American artist Allan Sekula (1951–2013) embarked on a seafaring project to document transnational seaports which would later be published as the iconic Fish Story (1989–1995). His personal notebooks ... -
African Easterly Wave Tracks as Simulated by CMIP5 Models
(2017-08)African Easterly Waves (AEWs) impact Sahel rainfall and serve as trigger disturbances for tropical cyclones (TCs) in the North Atlantic Ocean. So far, there has been very little investigation into future changes in intensity ... -
