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)
Design practice for prestressed members has moved toward allowing partially prestressed members, which are allowed to crack under service loads. To define design requirements, the ACI 318 Building Code explicitly defines ...

Immersive Constructed Wetlands 

Benton, Rodney (2014-05-02)
Urban stormwater runoff has historically been managed through engineered systems designed to move stormwater out of the urban environment and into the outlying stream and river systems. This had a negative impact on ...

Immigrant Labor in the Forest Industry: The Impacts of H-2B Employment on Local Livelihoods 

Brodbeck, Arnold M. IV (2016-05-05)
The production of timber requires labor, with peak labor demands coming during reforestation. Much of the labor used in tree planting in the United States (US) is provided by migrant workers. The overall purpose of this ...

Immobilization of lead from aqueous solution by using carboxymethyl cellulose stabilized iron sulfide nanoparticles 

Zhao, Yang (2017-11-27)
Lead pollutant has attracted more attention recently. Moreover, the use of patent iron sulfide nanoparticles is more and more extensive for various contaminants removal. In this study, FeS nanoparticles is prepared with ...

Immobilization of Mercury by Stabilized FeS Nanoparticles and Effects of Oil Dispersant on Sorption/Desorption and Photodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons 

Gong, Yanyan (2014-04-25)
Iron sulfide (FeS) nanoparticles were prepared with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a stabilizer, and tested for enhanced removal of mercury (Hg(II)) from water, soil and sediment. The presence of CMC at ≥0.03 wt.% ...

Immobilization of Mercury Using Iron Sulfide Minerals 

Bower, Julia (2007-08-15)
Mercury is a pervasive pollutant that has caused environmental and health problems throughout the world. Numerous industries including coal-fired power plants and chlor-alkali plants have discharged mercury into the ...

Immune and gustatory roles of the channel catfish skin as revealed by comparative transcriptomic analyses 

Gao, Sen (2016-08-09)
Fish scales are physical barriers protecting them from various external stresses, in particular, from pathogen infections. However, vast majority of catfishes are evolutionarily scaleless. How scaleless fish respond to ...

Immune-Associated Chronic Inflammation: Biological Responses Between Endothelial Cells and T Cells Following Treatment with Thymus vulgaris and Eugenia caryophyllata Essential Oils 

Clifton, Christie (2022-11-29)
Chronic inflammation is associated with autoimmune disorders and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Prolonged interaction between circulating leukocytes (CD4+ T cells) and microvasculature ...

Immunohistochemical Localization of the Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) in the Colon Myenteric Plexus 

Parker, Lauren (2010-08-04)
Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a tricdecaneuropeptide that can bind four melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R-MC5R) to exert various receptor-dependent effects. MC4R regulates several functions which include ...

Immunomodulatory Effects of Intracranial Gene Therapy in Feline Sandhoff Disease 

Bradbury, Allison (2014-05-02)
Sandhoff disease (SD) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by absence of hydrolytic enzyme β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (Hex), which results in storage of GM2 ganglioside in neurons and unremitting neurodegeneration. ...
