Lower-energy conformers search of TPP-1 polypeptide via hybrid particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm
(2018)
Low-energy conformation search on biological macromolecules remains a
challenge in biochemical experiments and theoretical studies. Finding efficient
approaches to minimize the energy of peptide structures is critically ...
3D RESERVOIR GEOMECHANICS MODEL OF THE PROPOSED FORGE LABORATORY SITE NEAR MILFORD UTAH
(2018-05-11)
In this thesis a 3D reservoir geomechanics model (mechanical earth model) is constructed for the FORGE laboratory site near Milford, Utah. Such characterizations are necessary for enhanced geothermal sites (EGS) that rely ...
PILOT EVALUATION OF THE WEIGHTED OFFENSIVE PRODUCTIVITY RATING IN HOCKEY USING LONGITUDINAL DATA AND LOGISTIC REGRESSION
(2018-05-11)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an analog to the baseball statistic Weighted On-Base Average (wOBA), which provides an estimate of a baseball player’s offensive production, in the context of hockey. In this model, ...
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 ...
DEVELOPMENT OF CHOLESTEATOMA MODEL, SURGICAL TREATMENT, AND CRITERIA FOR DISEASE SEVERITY
(2018-05)
Chapter 1:
Cholesteatoma is a middle ear disease characterized by a cystic lesion that grows from the tympanic membrane. There are several theories as to the cause of the disease, though the most prominent cause is ...
Heuristic Approach to Network Recovery
(2018-05-11)
This study addresses optimization modeling for recovery of a transportation system after a major disaster. In particular, a novel metric based on the shape of the recovery curve is introduced as the objective to minimize. ...
Physiological Responses to a Single Bout of Resistance Exercise: Practical vs Controlled Blood Flow Restriction
(2018-05-11)
Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise has been used to induce increases in muscle size and strength at relatively low exercise intensities. The technique requires the application of a restriction device to reduce blood ...
Fabrication of improved composite laminates by using a sliding magnetic tool during wet layup/vacuum bagging
(2018-05-11)
A magnetic lift that utilizes magnetic polarization to create “on” and “off” conditions is used to easily and safely apply consolidation pressure on E-glass/epoxy laminates fabricated using the wet layup/vacuum bagging ...
Structural analysis of a naturally fractured carbonate field in the south-east Gulf of Mexico.
(2018-05)
Fractured carbonates produce more than 85% of hydrocarbon production in Mexico. A large number of the producing fields are located in the South Gulf Salt Province (SGSP) in Campeche Bay within the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian ...
Intelligent Power Aware Algorithms for Traffic Sensors
(2018-07)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping our world. Soon our world will be based on smart technologies. According to IHS Markit forecasts, the number of connected devices will grow from 15.4 billion in 2015 to 30.7 billion ...
