Exploiting Renewable Energy and UPS Systems with a Renewable-Aware Scheduler to Boost Energy Efficiency of Data Centers
(2022-07-20)
It is prudent to leverage on-site renewable sources like solar and wind to build environmentally
friendly and energy-efficient data centers. Data centers deploy distributed UPS
systems to handle the intermittent nature ...
Exploration Into the Effects of Hypoxia in an In Vitro Canine Glioblastoma Model
(2013-04-23)
Glioblastomas are aggressive, lethal primary brain tumors that affect human and canine patients. A subpopulation representing a variably large percentage of the bulk of tumor cells has been identified to have stem cell-like ...
Exploration of 3D Phage-Based Biomolecular Filter for Filtration of Foodborne Pathogens in Large Volume of Liquid Streams
(2020-07-16)
A three-dimensional phage-based biomolecular filter (3D filter) was designed and developed to capture, concentrate, and isolate foodborne pathogens from large volume of liquid streams with high throughput, such as liquid ...
An Exploration of Comprehension Instruction in Content-Area Elementary Classes
(2015-07-30)
Scores on national and international tests for students in the United States indicated that students are not performing proficiently in reading. Furthermore, students are not able to comprehend complex reading tasks, which ...
An Exploration of Counselors’-in-Training Multicultural Competency when Working with Persons of Low Socioeconomic Status: An Examination of Attitudes, Attributions, and Perceived Self Efficacy
(2014-12-10)
This study examined Clinical/Community Mental Health (CCMH) counselors-in-training attitudes about poverty, attributions about the causes of poverty, and levels of perceived self-efficacy when working with clients of low ...
Exploration of Crash Severity and Location in Work Zone-Related Crashes in Alabama
(2015-01-07)
Work zones are necessary for maintenance and improvement of highways, but they also present opportunities for crashes that might not occur under normal driving conditions. From 2006-2011, 3,192 crashes resulted in some ...
An Exploration of Elementary Preservice Teachers’ Science Teaching Self-Efficacy Beliefs and Noticing of Students’ Scientific Thinking
(2024-06-26)
