Tunable Polymersomes: Towards Enzyme Delivery Through the Blood-Brain Barrier
(2017-04-26)
Delivery of therapeutics to the brain through non-invasive administration is a difficult task due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents the transport of 98% of therapeutics. In GM1 gangliosidosis, patients are ...
Mathematical and Numerical Analysis for Linear Peridynamic Boundary Value Problems
(2017-04-26)
Peridynamics is motivated in aid of modeling the problems from continuum mechanics which involve the spontaneous discontinuity forms in the motion of a material system. By replacing differentiation with integration, ...
A CMOS Implementation of a Biological Neuron with Memristor as Synapse
(2017-04-26)
A CMOS neuron with 130-nm SiGe technology is presented in this paper to simulate the biological activities of synapses and neurons in human brains. Biological neuron behaviors are introduced in the beginning then comes ...
Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Petrology of the Hillbank and Yalbac Formations, Corozal Basin, Belize
(2017-04-30)
The informal Hillbank and Yalbac formations are predominantly carbonate units that are found only in the subsurface of the Corozal basin in northern Belize. The 75 to 700 m-thick Hillbank and the 200 to 3000 m-thick Yalbac ...
Evaluation of thick film materials for high temperature electronics packaging
(2017-04-30)
Geothermal well logging requires electronics and packaging working reliably at 300C. Thick film technology has many advantages and has been widely investigated for high temperature applications. Previous studies showed ...
An Examination of Problem-Based Learning and its Impact on Medical Students' Attitudes and Academic Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis
(2017-05-01)
This study examined the relationship of Problem-based Learning (PBL) and medical students’ attitudinal behavior and academic outcomes. The analyses of 14 independent, primary studies conducted between 2003 –2016, on 4,981 ...
Surface Reconstruction Based on Plenoptic Image with Convolution-Based Iterative Algorithm
(2017-04-30)
Plenoptic imaging is a revolutionary photographic technique which has been brought to public
awareness recently. It makes post-refocusing possible by capturing both spatial and directional
information of light. In order ...
Coppicing Evaluation in the Southeastern U.S. to Determine Harvesting Methods for Bioenergy Production
(2017-05-01)
Renewable fuels are being tested as an alternative for fossil fuels. Woody biomass is an excellent source of renewable energy in terms of cost-benefit and availability. Short rotation woody crops (SRWC) meet intensive wood ...
Orientation Affects Growth and Harvest Yield of Ocimum basilicum ‘Cardinal’ L. Grown on a Novel, Inexpensive Vertical Structure
(2017-04-27)
Cardinal basil (Ocimum basilicum ‘Cardinal’ L.) was grown on a novel, inexpensive, A-frame vertical structure developed at Auburn University. The structures were built from treated lumber with cattle fencing on each of the ...
Three Essays on the Macroeconomic Effect of Fiscal Policy in the U.S.
(2017-05-01)
Over the past few years, debates among economists on the magnitude of fiscal expansion effects on the economy have seen something of a resurgence in the economics literature. On the one hand, New Keynesian researchers find ...
