The chromatin accessibility signature of aging in human blood leukocytes stem from CD8+ T cells.
(2017-07-26)Human aging is linked to changes in immune function that contribute to decreased responses to pathogens and increased systemic inflammation. Human aging is also associated with profound epigenetic changes across cell types ... -
Linear stability analysis of Mach 10 nitrogen flow over 7-deg half-angle cones.
(2017-08-02)Linear stability theory (LST) analysis was performed on Mach 10 7-degree half-angle straight cones in nitrogen for comparison with experimental results obtained in the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Hypervelocity ... -
Three dimensional topology optimization with orthotropic material orientation design for additive manufacturing structures.
(2017-08-02)Products produced with Additive Manufacturing often have anisotropic microstructures that form material layers are added during processing. Carbon fiber filled polymer deposited in beads with the Fused Filament Fabrication ... -
Faithful engagement : an examination of the nature and role of values in social policy practice.
(2017-07-21)In social work, a commitment to individual and societal values is foundational, professionally-sanctioned and necessary for culturally sensitive, ethical practice. Values are instrumental in the formation of cultural norms, ... -
Effect of a restrictive breathing mask on resistance exercise performance in resistance-trained males.
(2017-07-23)The purpose of this study was to define the impact a RBM has on performance variables, and genes potentially impacted by the stressful nature of the RBM. In a cross-over design, ten participants performed two separate ... -
Probing interactions among molecules, substrate, and tip using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
(2017-07-31)Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) has shown that spatial resolution <1 nm is possible, but is technically challenging and difficult even in Ultra-High Vacuum at low temperatures with plasmonic substrates. Here we ... -
On the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall.
(2017-07-23)Cell wall is the outermost part of Gram-positive bacteria. It is intricately tied to the bacteria’s response to environmental stimuli and challenges, and its makeup dynamically changes as a part of bacterial adaptation. ... -
Age matters : developmental stage of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) influences bioconcentration, and survival and behavioral photomotor response thresholds.
(2017-08-03)Toxicology information for the tens of thousands of compounds in commerce is severely lacking, and with continual introduction of new substances, this global chemical space is only increasing in complexity. Thus, generating ... -
Local wellness policies : key barriers of implementation.
(2017-07-24)Over a decade after passing the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 2004 and mandate of Local Wellness Policies, school districts are still facing barriers within implementing these policies. The success of these policies ... -
Abram Ryan, Orestes Brownson, and American Catholics during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
(2017-07-26)This thesis explores how American Catholics reacted to the Civil War and Reconstruction and how those reactions influenced Protestant perceptions of Catholics. Orestes Brownson, a famous Northern convert, polemicist, and ... -
Psychopathy, yawning, and vigilance.
(2017-07-24)Psychopathy is characterized by a general antisocial lifestyle with behaviors including being selfish, manipulative, impulsive, fearless, callous, domineering, and particularly lacking in empathy. Contagious yawning in our ... -
Evolution to pollution in Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) from Galveston Bay, TX, USA.
(2017-07-27)Anthropogenic contamination associated with industrial activity is a widespread and active threat to the stability of organisms. The Houston Ship Channel (HSC) is one example of a heavily impacted environment, where ... -
Characterizing hip motion during activities of daily living.
(2017-07-27)In the United States alone, 332,000 people received a total hip replacement (THR) each year [1 – need to reattach ref]. Following a total hip arthroplasty, doctors get asked by their patients if they can still do particular ... -
The trombone as signifier in sacred germanic works of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
(, 2017-10-09)During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Germanic composers recognized and propagated certain rhetorical associations of the trombone. Following a tradition of signification in sacred dramatic works, these composers ... -
The Austin chalk and its petroleum potential : South-Central Texas
(, 2017-10-09)The Austin Chalk Formation (Upper Cretaceous) consists of uniformly bedded lithologies throughout south-central Texas. The lithologies found within the subsurface are technically wackestones to mudstones. These general ... -
Governor control optimization of hydro power plants using hybrid fuzzy logic and PID control.
(2017-07-07)Control of hydro power plants has been an issue of concern for researchers; moreover, more emphasis has always been put on governor control which naturally has slower response, but vital in ensuring system stability and ... -
Numerical simulation of a single fracture with various parameters.
(2017-06-15)Hydraulic fracturing is the process of enhancing host rock permeability through injection of pressurized fluid in order to obtain oil and natural gas. Typically, microseismicity is used during the fracturing process to ...
