Phylotyping and Functional Analysis of Two Ancient Human Microbiomes
(PLos One, 2008-11-11)
BackgroundThe Human Microbiome Project (HMP) is one of the U.S. National Institutes of Health Roadmap for Medical Research. Primary interests of the HMP include the distinctiveness of different gut microbiomes, the factors ...
Comparison of Void Reduction Methods for Resin Transfer Molded Composites
(2004)
Liquid composite molding (LCM) processes such as resin transfer molding (RTM) have been successfully used to manufacture high performance fiber-reinforced composites at a low cost. However, these composites usually suffer ...
Generalized bending of a plate with a circular inclusion of arbitrary rigidity
(The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design, 2001-01-01)
The paper presents an exact closed-form solution for a thin isotropic plate containing a circular elastic inclusion and subjected to arbitrary bending moments at large distances from the hole. Quantitative results are ...
A Case Study on the Impact of Web-based Technology in a Simulation Analysis Course
(SIMULATION, 2001-04-01)
A case study is presented on the use of web-based technol ogy to transition from a lecture-based delivery system to an online/multimedia technology delivery system at the University of Oklahoma's School of Industrial ...
Implications of Loyalty Program Membership and Service Experiences for Customer Retention and Value
(Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 2000-01-01)
Companies that offer loyalty reward programs believe that their programs have a long-run positive effect on customer evaluations and behavior. However, if loyalty rewards programs increase relationship durations and usage ...
Re-examining the machining frictional boundary conditions using fractals
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2002-07-01)
This paper presents experimental evidence for the existence of non-Euclidean contact geometry at the tool-chip interface in the machining of aluminium alloy, which challenges conventional assumptions. The geometry of contact ...
Biomechanical Analysis of Postural Sway in Elderly Adults on Ramps
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2001-10-01)
This study investigated the effects of ramp angles on postural deviation as a function of age. Five ramp inclinations (1:8, 1:10, 1:12, 1:16, and 1:20) were examined in both ascent and descent directions. Five younger (22 ...
Filtration of Nanoclay Clusters During Resin Transfer Molding of Clay Glass Epoxy Disks
(2005)
Inclusion of nanoclay in various polymer systems is being studied as a viable improvement method for thermo-mechanical properties for more than a decade. It has also been shown that addition of nanoclay into polymers ...
