Explosive Spin Compaction of Ceramic Nanoparticles
(2017-11-27)
A new technique for explosive compaction was introduced known as explosive spin compaction. Neodymium iron boron and Barium Titanate were studied before and after spin explosive compaction using SEM, XRD and vibrating ...
Exposing the Protein-Protein Interaction Sites and Probing the Flavin Transfer Mechanism in the Alkanesulfonate Monooxygenase System from Escherichia coli.
(2016-01-11)
Sulfur is an essential element for all living organisms. Bacteria acquire sulfur through a sulfur assimilation pathway, but under sulfur limiting conditions bacteria must acquire sulfur from alternative sources. These ...
An Exposition on CEO Traits that Affect Corporate Decision Making
(2023-06-30)
Jensen & Meckling (1976) state that managers make decisions to maximize their personal utility,
and their utility function differs from that of their firm. This possibility implies that a manager's
characteristics that ...
Exposure to multiple stressors in the stony coral Acropora cervicornis: Effects on photosynthesis and respiration rates
(2018-11-15)
Recreational diving is an increasingly popular ecotourism activity that has allowed unprecedented amounts of direct human interaction with coral reef communities. Inadvertent contact by divers with benthic invertebrates ...
Expression and Functional Roles of Cytokinin Response Factor Proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2015-05-07)
Abstract
Cytokinin response factors (CRFs) are transcription factor proteins from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). CRFs comprise a small, highly conserved subgroup of the AP2/ERF family of plant ...
Extended effects of sequential weaning and backgrounding management in southeastern U.S. beef calves on performance, health, and immunological responses through the feedyard
(2023-06-29)
Beef calf management strategies used during the weaning and post-weaning period can have extended effects on growth performance and health in all sectors of the production chain. Understanding post-weaning management ...
Extended Release of Macromolecular Comfort Agents from Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses
(2011-04-26)
Contact lens induced dry eye (CLIDE) affects approximately 80% of contact lens wearers. Extrapolating to the world wide population of 300 million contact lens wearers, there are approximately 200 million wearers who express ...
Extended Working Hours in the Southeastern Logging Industry
(2008-08-15)
Logging business owners are exploring the ways to reduce equipment costs. Although shift work is common in some other industries, it is not common in the logging industry in the southeastern United States. Implementation ...
Extension Empowers Alabama Youth to Improve Dietary Behaviors
(2019-08-23)
The purposes were to determine the outcome and procedural efficacies of Eat Better, Move More (EBMM), an obesity prevention program, and to identify sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in the home. A convenience sample of ...
Extension of a Reflection-Mode Digital Gradient Sensor (r-DGS) to Study Impact Induced Deformations, Damage, and Fracture
(2015-02-23)
Reflective structures such as space mirrors, silicon wafers, solar reflectors, microelectronic devices to name a few, are made of stiff and brittle materials. They often suffer deformations and catastrophic failure when ...
The Extension of Colloid Chemistry from Aqueous to Non-Aqueous Media with Application to Nanofluid Research
(2011-11-17)
Nanofluids are colloids whose design is specific to the study and application of heat transfer systems. Metals typically have thermal conductivities which are several times higher than that of traditional cooling liquids ...
The Extension Program Development Model: A Look At Commitment and Engagement
(2012-05-01)
This study examines program evaluation in Cooperative Extension by investigating staff commitment to systematic evaluation, commitment to the Extension Program Development Model, barriers and supports that impact engagement ...

Extensions of Monotonicity Results to Semisimple Lie Groups
(2016-05-05)
We extend a monotonicity result of Wang and Gong on the product of powers of positive definite matrices. This result concerns the eigenvalues of such products which written as vectors have a log majorization relationship. ...
The Extent and Limitations of Correlating Measured Interharmonics and Measured Voltage Fluctuations
(2015-12-10)
Amplitude modulation is a well-known cause of voltage fluctuations resulting in luminous lamp flicker. Amplitude modulation can be more generally quantified in terms of interharmonics. The theoretical correlation between ...
