See. Hear. Taste. Smell. Touch. The senses are the conduit from the external to the internal. There are a select few who live in an almost unimaginable world where two or more of their senses are joined. There are ...

Illuminating the Neurotoxic Effects of TFMPP derivatives in N27 Rat Dopaminergic Neuronal Cells through Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction 

Majrashi, Mohammed (2017-05-03)
The use of designer drugs in the United States have increased tremendously. Designer drugs are highly dangerous and most importantly the abusers don't have a clue with regard to what they are getting. Thus, it is currently ...

Imaging Electron-Driven Dynamics in Dissociative Electron Attachment to Gas Molecules 

Moradmand, Ali (2013-07-19)
The design and construction of a new ion-momentum spectrometer for the study of electron-molecule interactions at Auburn University (AU) is detailed with emphasis on the phenomenon of dissociative electron attachment ...

Imaging Multi-Particle Atomic and Molecular Dynamics in Dissociative Electron Attachment to CF4 and Double Photoionization of NH3 Molecules 

Strom, Richard (2021-05-18)
The experimental process and scientific study of two molecular interactions is presented. The first experiment consist of the phenomenon of dissociative electron attachment, (DEA), to Carbon Tetrafluoride, CF4, with the ...

Imaging Polyatomic Molecules in Three Dimensions Using Molecular Frame Photoelectron Angular Distributions 

Williams, Joshua (2012-05-10)
We demonstrate a method for determining the full three-dimensional molecular frame photoelectron angular distribution in polyatomic molecules using methane as a prototype. Simultaneous double Auger decay and subsequent ...

Imitation in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Analysis of Task Type and Common Errors 

Sevlever, Melina (2010-08-04)
The purpose of this study was to identify common imitative errors emitted by children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and typically developing children across varying types of imitative tasks. Twenty-two low-functioning ...

Immediate Deflections of Simply Supported, Bonded, Class T and Class C Prestressed Concrete Beams 

Hughes, Hayden (2023-04-17)
