Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Study of Phonon Transport Properties at High Temperatures

Avritte, Jalaan (2023-12-06) ETD File Embargoed

Thermal conductivity is a material property of great importance in many areas of physics including coat barriers, renewable energy, nano-electronic devices, and geological processes inside the Earth. At the microscopic ...

Equine Endometrial Development: Setting the Stage for Reproductive Success

Fraser, Natalie S. (2016-05-04)

Uterine development in the foal is initiated prenatally; endometrial adenogenesis, or gland development, is initiated in the fetus and completed postnatally. To date, there is little data describing this process in the ...

Equine Endothelial Colony Forming Cells: In Vitro and In Vivo Analysis

Winter, Randolph (2019-07-24)

Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) are a subset of the endothelial progenitor cell (EPC). EPCs are found in bone marrow and in peripheral blood samples, and their subset the ECFC can be isolated from these samples ...

Equine Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells: Phenotypic Enhancement and Ex vivo Angiogenesis Studies

Mora Pereira, Mariano (2023-07-27)

Ischemic diseases in horses are common and often life-threatening, thus cell-based therapies to improve angiogenesis are gaining interest. Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) can form de novo blood vessels in areas ...

Equine Gait Analysis, Body Part Tracking using DeepLabCut and Mask R-CNN and Biomechanical Parameter Extraction

Gupta, Vinika (2021-07-30)

Gait analysis plays a pivotal role in quantitatively defining equine biomechanical parameters for lameness detection and performance evaluation. Currently, equine gait analysis requires attaching markers or IMU sensors to ...

Equitable Block-Colorings of Graph-Decompositions and Tiling Generalized Petersen Graphs

Matson, Elizabeth (2018-04-23)

A $C_4$-decomposition of $K_v - F$, where $F$ is a $1$-factor of $K_v$ and $C_4$ is the cycle on $4$ vertices, is a partition $P$ of $E(K_v - F)$ into sets, each element of which induces a $C_4$ (called a block). A function ...

Equity and inclusion underlie instructor assessment choices amid COVID-19 pandemic

Lamb, Todd (2022-04-21)

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak mandated a rapid transition to online classes with little warning. Previous literature studying the effect of this sudden shift demonstrated enormous impacts on instructors and students. ...

Killingsworth, Molly (2011-04-15)

Closing the achievement gap has been a goal of educators for many years (Ferguson, 1998; Haycock, 2001; NCES, 2005; Norman, Ault, Bentz, & Meskimen, 2001). Although a major concern for schools, districts, and states, there ...

Equivalent Age-based Opportunistic Maintenance for Wind Farms

Aldubaisi, Ali (2020-05-15)

The wind industry is facing new challenges due to the rapid growth of wind farms all around the world. Farm size, turbine size and a rising number of sophisticated components, the industry has to face the challenge to ...

ERBB4 is a Driver of BRAF WT Melanomas

Lucas, Lauren (2023-04-28)

Approximately 50% of metastatic melanomas harbor a BRAF V600 mutation which causes elevated RAF/MEK/ERK pathway signaling. These tumors are treated using a combination of a BRAF and MEK inhibitor which targets the canonical ...

Erodibility Testing of Cohesive Soils

Mobley, Thomas (2009-07-13)

The Erosion Function Apparatus (EFA) is used to measure erosion rates for cohesive soil samples subjected to water velocities tangent to the sample surface. EFA testing was performed on soil samples taken from three bridge ...
