Gene Therapy Approaches for Neurological Lysosomal Storage Diseases
(2014-04-25)
GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis are lysosomal storage diseases caused by deficiency of enzymes required for ganglioside catabolism. Enzyme deficiencies cause neuronal accumulation of ganglioside resulting in progressive ...
Survival and Transmission of Selected Pathogens on Airplane Cabin Surfaces and Selection of Phages Specific for Campylobacter jejuni
(2014-04-28)
We determined the limits of survival and transmission of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on common surfaces found in the cabin of a civil aircraft. The two pathogens were ...
Power-Aware System-on-Chip Test Optimization through Frequency and Voltage Scaling
(2014-04-29)
A System-on-Chip (SoC) is a complete system that has been integrated onto a single chip. An SoC is often designed by embedding reusable blocks called cores. With shrinking device sizes, SoC cores are growing in number and ...
Evaluation of Progress in Annual Ryegrass (Lolium Multiflorum Lam.) Selected for Increased Winter Productivity
(2014-04-25)
Forage availability in the southeastern USA is limited during winter and supplemental feeding increases management costs. Therefore, development of a suitable cultivar with increased winter productivity would be a valuable ...
Aging in Place: Design Guidelines for New Construction in Residential Design
(2014-04-29)
This study examined the seven principles of universal design (equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, and size and space for approach ...
Reliability, Scalability and Security in Smart Utility Networks
(2014-05-01)
With the rapid increase in deployment of smart meters across North America, resource
consumption data of utilities such as water, gas and electricity is being collected at a much higher
granular level. The huge amount ...

(2014-07-02)
This study examined the effectiveness of an emotions education program (SELF-AWARE) for preservice teachers on their emotional awareness and their emotion-related social behaviors when interacting with children at the ...
Inorganic Nanocylinder Lyotropic Liquid Crystals: Rheology, Phase Behavior and Film Self-Assembly
(2014-04-29)
This dissertation provided key examples of inorganic nanocylinder lyotropic liquid crystalline phase formation including silver nanowire nematic and silica nanorod smectic liquid crystals. Inorganic nanocylinder liquid ...
Overwhelmed and Under Pressure: The Influence of Extracurricular Over-Involvement on Academic Success and Student-Faculty Relationships
(2014-07-02)
Involvement in extracurricular activities is an oft-studied element of the college experience, especially as it has been linked to positive academic and non-academic measures. Yet, the possible limits of involvement’s ...
Laboratory Scour Testing of Hard Cohesive Soils in Alabama
(2014-01-09)
Establishing scour parameters in order to estimate the loss of soil adjacent to bridge piers is a crucial element in the design of highway bridges crossing over rivers and streams. Although there are numerous design criteria ...
