Characterization of Chromium Trihalide based Magnetic Tunnel Junctions via First Principles Calculations
(2021-04-12)
At finite temperatures, free-standing two-dimensional (2D) materials were originally theorized to be thermodynamically unstable, let alone possess magnetization. However, in 2018, the first ferromagnetic 2D semiconductor ...
Characterization of CRF domain containing ERF genes- Solanum lycopersicum Cytokinin Response Factors SlCRF3 and SlCRF5 in tomato development
(2013-07-19)
Cytokinin is an important hormone involved in numerous aspects of plant growth and development. A newly identified group of transcription factors- Cytokinin Response Factors (CRFs) has been included as a side branch to ...
Characterization of Defeat of Weaponized Biological Spores via Heat Transfer
(2016-12-09)
During the past few decades, there has been concern that large amounts of weaponized Bacillus Anthracis (Ba) is being created and stored in 55 gallon barrels by potential adversaries of the United States. The most likely ...
Characterization of Depot Development and the Role of the Novel Adipokine Relaxin in Regulating Lipid Metabolism, Endocrine Function and the Extracellular Matrix in Porcine Adipose Tissue from Lard and Meat-type Pigs
(2019-08-14)
The lard-type, Mangalica pig is a genetic model of excessive adiposity and a breed prized for its excellent pork quality. Therefore, this European heritage breed may serve as a model to improve carcass merit in modern ...
Characterization of detoxification enzymes in Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
(2015-07-28)
Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, is a highly polyphagous scarab with a host range of over 300 plant species spreading over 79 families. It is a cosmopolitan pest with agricultural, landscape and horticultural ...
Characterization of Die Stress in Microprocessor Packaging Due to Mechanical, Thermal, and Power Loading
(2014-08-05)
Microprocessor packaging in modern workstations and servers often consists of one or more large flip chip die that are mounted to a high performance ceramic chip carrier. The final assembly configuration features a complex ...
Characterization of Die Stresses in Large Area Array Flip Chip Packages
(2008-08-15)
Microprocessor packaging in modern workstations and servers often consists of one or more large flip chip die that are mounted to a high performance ceramic chip carrier. The final assembly configuration features a complex ...
The Characterization of Haliotis Rufescens (Red Abalone): Mesolayer Growth
(2019-04-16)
The structure of an abalone’s shell, as well as its self-assembly process, has been the focus of a considerable amount of research over the years due to the exceptional properties it possesses. The self-assembly process ...
Characterization of High Speed and Arbitrary Headwall Injection Effects on the Trkalian Swirling Mean Flowfield in Rocket Motors
(2016-07-28)
In this work, the bulk gaseous motion inside cylindrical chambers driven by wall normal injection with and without reactive headwalls is explored. The base model is of the Trkalian type and is here extended to include ...
Characterization of Innate Immune Genes of Catfish: CXC Chemokines and Toll-Like Receptors
(2006-05-15)
Innate immunity is known as the first line of defense against pathogenic invasions. Fish, as lower vertebrates, are believed to maintain their healthy status mostly by relying on their innate immunity. Of the many types ...
Characterization of iron uptake into mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2015-07-29)
Iron is abundant in the environment in the oxidized ferric state. However this form is not bioavailable. Cells require soluble ferrous iron and therefore many reduction strategies have evolved. FRE5 encodes a putative iron ...
Characterization of Lead-free Solders for Electronic Packaging
(2007-05-15)
The characterization of lead-free solders, especially after isothermal aging, is very important in order to accurately predict the reliability of solder joints. However, due to lack of experimental testing standards and ...
