Activated carbon fiber filter media for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Liu, Wei (2010-05-03)

Sulfur dioxide, a major air pollutant, has been found to be poisonous to proton exchange membrane fuel cells and causes degradation of fuel cell systems. Currently used industrial desulfurization systems, such as wet ...

Activated Murine Thymic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells alter Thymopoiesis

Schmidt, Alexis (2010-08-04)

Pediatric human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection is characterized by rapid disease progression and profound thymus insufficiency; however the pathogenesis of thymus dysfunction during HIV infection is complex and ...

Activation and Inhibitor Studies on Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase and Purification of a New Hydroxylamine Oxidoreductase from Methylomicrobium Album ATCC 33003

Yang, Na (2008-05-15)

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the formation of methane from methyl-coenzyme M (CH3-S-CoM) and coenzyme B (HS-CoB) in methanogenic archaea. In order to manage the overproduction of methane in the environment, ...

Activation Functions as Parameters for Improved Deep Learning

Since large-scale and data-intensive applications have been widely deployed, there is a growing demand for high-performance storage systems to support data-intensive applications. Compared with traditional storage systems, ...

Active Power Damping Control using Renewable Energy Sources

Basu, Mayur (2023-12-06)

This Ph.D. report navigates the global energy landscape shaped by ambitious carbon reduction goals. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy, driving the growth of renewable energy sources (RESs), signal a significant ...

The Activity Metric for Low Resource, On-line Character Recognition

Confer, William (2005-12-15)

This work presents an algorithm for on-line character recognition that is fast, portable, and consumes very little memory for code or data. The algorithm is alphabet-independent, and does not require training beyond ...

Activity of Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in Coastal South Carolina: an Acoustic Study

Moore, Lydia (2015-12-10)

Coastal South Carolina has not been the focus of previous studies on distribution of bats, but the proposal of an offshore wind farm has stimulated interest in how bats use coastal areas. Anabat acoustic detectors were ...

An Actor on a Grand Stage: Adelbert Ames and his Military, Political, and Civil Rights Legacies

Megelsh, Michael J. (2021-04-12)

Adelbert Ames, born in Maine in 1835, served as a Union general during the American Civil War—winning the Medal of Honor for his service at the Battle of First Bull Run on July 21, 1861. After the war, he remained in the ...

The Actor with No Name: A Star Study of Clint Eastwood

Petersen, Roderick III (2024-04-29)

This thesis explores Clint Eastwood’s star text, analyzing Clint Eastwood’s acting career, lawsuits, promotions, and election as mayor of Carmel, California. This thesis argues that The Man with No Name was a foundational ...

Acute effects of teacher-implemented physical activity breaks on preschooler’s physical activity participation and academic time on-task

Webster, Elizabeth (2013-07-19)

Physical activity participation is a crucial component to a child’s healthy development. Although various benefits and positive correlations exist from adequate amounts of physical activity participation, a majority of ...

Acute Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Central and Peripheral Hemodynamics and Oxygen Consumption in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury

Yarar, Ceren (2011-08-08)

A substantial body of evidence suggests spinal cord injury (SCI) increases cardiovascular disease and mortality risk in aging individuals with SCI. Based on retrospective assessments, excess mortality after SCI has been ...

Acute regulation of IGF-1 by differential growth-factor-binding-protein expression, inhibition, and proteolysis
