<p>Despite decades of research attention given to academic underachievement, longitudinal and developmental investigation of this phenomenon has been sparse. To address this shortcoming, the current study used a longitudinal, ...

<p>SPROX (Stability of Proteins from Rates of Oxidation) is a technique for the detection and quantitation of protein-ligand binding interactions. In SPROX the differential denaturant dependence of a methionine oxidation ...

<p>Proteins fold into well-defined three-dimensional structures to carry out their biological functions which involve non-covalent interactions with other cellular molecules. Knowledge about the thermodynamic properties ...

<p>With continuing advances in medical imaging technologies, there is an increased demand to extract quantitative information from images. This has been particularly vital in the effort to increase the efficacy and accuracy ...

<p>Our interest is the risk assessment of rare natural hazards, such as</p><p>large volcanic pyroclastic flows. Since catastrophic consequences of</p><p>volcanic flows are rare events, our analysis benefits from the use ...

<p>Every day, cells face agents that generate lesions in genomic DNA, which can interfere with the processes of DNA replication and gene expression. These lesions can range from small abasic sites to alkylated bases to ...

The observed coral reef decline has prompted alternative protection measures beyond traditional conservation efforts. Restoration can be used to reverse reef degradation and has been practiced around the world, particularly ...

<p>This dissertation reports advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the ultimate goal of improving signal and contrast in biomedical applications. More specifically, novel MRI pulse sequences have been designed ...

There are approximately 1,700 land trusts in America that have conserved about 37 million acres of land. However, land preservation is not just the onetime acquisition of land. It is the responsibility of land trusts to ...

This research presents a detailed study of non-synchronous vibration (NSV) and the development of an efficient design method for NSV. NSV occurs as a result of the complex interaction of an aerodynamic instability with ...
