Alcohol Use and Social Anxiety in a College Student Population
(2006-12-15)
The results of epidemiological studies using clinical and community samples have shown a strong link between social anxiety and alcohol use. However, the results of studies that use a college student population to investigate ...
Alcohol, Sleep and Five-Factor Personality Characteristics: A Latent Profile Analysis
(2020-03-05)
To date, a substantial body of research has demonstrated that undergraduate students are often found to experience poor sleep quality, as well as frequently high levels of alcohol usage. Furthermore these two concerns are ...
Alcohol-carboxylate transport in phenyl-based membranes of varying chain length transport
(2023-08-02)
As global climate change is a major concern which is accelerated by CO2 emissions, we need to reduce CO2 emissions from the environment. In order to do that, researchers conceptualized CO2 reduction cells which electrochemically ...
Alcohol-Related Problems as Specific Correlates of Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide Constructs
(2014-06-18)
The relationship between alcohol misuse and suicide ideation among undergraduate
students has recently been investigated through the potential mechanisms of coping motives for drinking (Gonzalez, Bradizza, & Collins, ...
Alfred Watkins and the Lassiter High School Band: A Qualitative Study
(2009-11-17)
The purpose of this study was to explore the life and lifework of Alfred Watkins, Director of Bands at Lassiter High School for 27 years and to describe the components that contribute to the success of the Lassiter High ...
Algal biomass production and nutrient removal from high strength anaerobic digestate
(2022-04-29)
The integration of microalgal biomass production with nutrient removal from the liquid portion of anaerobic digestate holds the potential to close the loop on waste. However, algal growth inhibition in anaerobic digestate ...
AlGaN/GaN HEMT DC Simulation
(2014-04-28)
Increasing demand in high power and high frequency semiconductor devices has promoted
the rapid development of microwave power devices using GaN and SiC. Characteristics
like high breakdown voltage and high electron ...
Algorithms for Optimal Construction and Training of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks
(2015-04-30)
Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence are rapidly growing fields of research in both academia and industry. Artificial neural networks are at the heart of much of this research. Efficiently constructing and ...
Algorithms for Optimal Energy Management in the Smart Grid
(2015-07-02)
Smart grid (SG) is regarded as the next generation power grid, which implements an innovative idea for a highly automated and integrated power system.
The two-way energy and information flows in the SG, together with the ...
Algorithms for Task Scheduling in Heterogeneous Computing Environments
(2006-12-15)
Current heterogeneous meta-computing systems, such as computational clusters and grids offer a low cost alternative to supercomputers. In addition they are highly scalable and flexible. They consist of a host of diverse ...
Alkaline Pretreatment of Biomass for Ethanol Production and Understanding the Factors Influencing the Cellulose Hydrolysis
(2008-05-15)
Alkaline pretreatments were investigated in connection with bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol. Corn stover and two different batches of hybrid poplar (High Lignin (HL) and Low Lignin (LL)) were the ...
All You Need is Tensor Decomposition: A Better Understanding of Sparse Tensors
(2023-04-26)
Tensor is widely employed in data sciences to represent multi-dimensional information. Due to the low-rank nature of many tensors in the real world, predicting the unobserved entries of a partially observed tensor has ...
Allele-specific Expression of Ribosomal Protein Genes in Interspecific Hybrid Catfish
(2015-07-24)
Interspecific hybridization results in a vast reservoir of allelic variations, which may potentially contribute to phenotypical enhancement in the hybrids. Whether the allelic variations are related to the downstream ...
Alleviating Escape Panic Using Evolutionary Intelligence
(2006-05-15)
Reducing damage, danger, and panic by evolving room designs is possible with artificial intelligence. Escape panic, brought on by groups of people being in a life-threatening situation, increases the fatality rate and ...
Allosteric modulation of human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) by zinc and copper ions and characterization of spotted sea bass MC4R
(2020-07-20)
Since the metal ions have been shown to play an important role in regulating signal transduction of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), we investigated whether the Zn2+ and Cu2+ regulate the pharmacology of human ...
Allylic Oxidation of Steroidal Compounds Using Vanadyl Acetylacetonate and Tert-butyl Hydroperoxide
(2015-07-29)
Allylic oxidation is an important reaction in steroid chemistry. Previously reported methods have various limits which do not apply when using vanadyl acetylacetonate and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. These limits include ...
Almost Resolvable Maximum Packings of Complete Bipartite Graphs with 4-Cycles
(2012-07-17)
A packing of a complete bipartite graph K(m,n) with 4-cycles is a decomposition of K(m,n) into a collection C of edge-disjoint 4-cycles and a set of unused edges L referred to as the leave. If C is as large as possible ...
