Application of Generalized Hamiltonian Dynamics to Modified Coulomb Potential
(2008-12-15)
We apply Dirac’s generalized Hamiltonian dynamics (GHD), a purely classical formalism, to spinless particles under the influence of a binomial potential. The integrals of the motion for this potential were chosen as the ...
Application of genome-wide association studies in channel catfish to identify QTL associated with hypoxia tolerance
(2017-03-07)
Catfish is the dominant aquaculture species in the United States. The production of the domestic catfish industry rapidly increased in the last two decades. However, as imported catfish from Southeast Asia have kept ...
Application of Geospatial Methodologies to Elucidate Honey bee (Apis mellifera) Colony Loss
(2022-07-27)
Geospatial methods can be used in a wide variety of applications to elucidate interactions among variables across space and time and at various spatial scales. The identification of spatial trends is a foundational element ...
Application of High-Throughput Sequencing Methods to Spider Phylogenomics and Speciation with a Focus on the Mygalomorph Genus Aptostichus
(2018-04-24)
Spiders are massively abundant generalist arthropod predators that are found in nearly every ecosystem on the planet and have persisted for over 380 million years. Spiders have long served as evolutionary models for studying ...
Application of Learning Through Play in designing school playgrounds (Preschools to Kindergartens) to aid in children’s development
(2019-07-24)
Children are able to promote their academic learning performance through playing, which
is more effective than traditional learning methods. Hence, suitable designing for school
playgrounds aimed at providing an effective ...
Application of Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for Lipid-based Nanomedicine Development
(2017-04-25)
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) are increased in various cancers. The lipid specificity and reactivity of sPLA2 and its ability to interact with PLA2 receptors (PLA2R) are potential targets for development of liposome ...
Application of Low Melt Alloys as Compliant Thermal Interface Materials: A Study of Performance and Degradation under Thermal Duress
(2016-07-08)
Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are a crucial part of thermal management in micro-electronics and often can account for a significant portion of the overall thermal budget. Generally, materials with high thermal ...
Application of machine learning techniques for stock market prediction
(2017-04-20)
The stock market prediction has attracted much attention from academia as well as business. Due to the non-linear, volatile and complex nature of the market, it is quite difficult to predict. As the stock markets grow ...
Application of MEMS Inertial Sensors in Sensing Passive Eye Response as a Surrogate for Brain Response to Head Acceleration and Rotation for On-field Objective Assessment of Concussion
(2018-11-27)
The passive eye response (PER) may act as a surrogate for the brain response to head acceleration during a concussion causing impact. A novel eye movement sensor designed in this dissertation is used to verify this hypothesis ...
Application of Metagenomics for Discovery of Natural Products and Virophages
(2016-05-24)
Metagenomics provided a powerful insight into an as-yet-uncultured bacterial community in different environments through construction of clone libraries and shotgun sequencing, therefore presenting potential in drug and ...
