Evidence Of A Positron Bound State On The Surface Of A Topological Insulator
(Physics, 2014-12)We describe experiments aimed at probing the sticking of positrons to the surfaces of topological insulators performed at university of Texas at Arlington using the Positron Annihilation induced Auger electron Spectrometer. ... -
Evidence Of Competition Between Law Schools
(Economics, 2007-08-23)The purpose of this paper is to measure how competition affects tuition rates of law schools. I hypothesize that the tuition rates will go up as concentration of law schools increase. To examine how tuition varies with ... -
EVOKED AND SPONTANEOUS NEUROTRANSMITTER RELEASES FOR INDEPENDENT SYNAPTIC CURRENTS: MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS
(2017-08-01)Synapses play a major role in neuron communications in the brain. The synapses act through a chemical process called synaptic fusion between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic terminals. Presynaptic terminals release ... -
Evolution of allostery and conformational dynamics of caspases involved in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis
(2023-04-25)Caspases are a class of cysteine proteases that play a crucial role in programmed cell death (apoptosis). We complete an evolutionary picture of folding of caspases in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. The folding models ... -
Evolution of Dallas's Old City Hall
(2023-06-21)This thesis analyzes the preservation of Old City Hall in Dallas, Texas, as its functionality has evolved over time. It evaluates its significance as a monument to Dallas's early municipal government and civic pride, and ... -
Evolution Of Gender Differences In Adult Crying
(Psychology, 2007-08-23)The evolutionary function of gender differences in adult crying was investigated, specifically whether females were selected to cry more than males ostensibly to aid in their survival. Both studies were based on the idea ... -
Evolution of Learner Demographics and the Influence of Student Staff Representationality
(Fab14+Distributed-Education Symposium, 2018-07-15)Presentation analyzing the change in learner demographics at the UTA FabLab as correlated to discipline diversifying efforts in hiring and training of student staff. Presentation at Fab14 Education Symposium in Bataville, France. -
The Evolution Of Problem Solving: An Assessment Of Preference In Concurrent Schedules Of Reinforcement
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)In personal problem-solving, an organism emits responses that have been useful in the past to alter its personal contingencies and produce a response that "solves" a problem. In verbal behavior, a human organism emits ... -
Evolution Of Sex Ratios And Sex Determination Mechanisms: Lessons From Nematodes With Three Genders
(Biology, 2014-12)In sexually reproducing species, the decision to allocate resources towards male and female reproductive function is called sex allocation. Although theoretical and empirical work has been largely successful, the underlying ... -
EVOLUTION OF SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE IN MILITARY MASTER PLANNING: EXAMINING PLANNERS' PERCEPTIONS
(2020-11-24)An increasingly globalized world and mounting threats to our economy, environment, and social structures have brought the concepts of sustainability and resilience into sharp focus. These threats include climate change, ... -
The Evolution Of The Rag: An Analysis Of The Social, Political And Technological Influences On The Birth Of One Underground Newspaper In The 1960s
(Communication, 2010-07-19)This research examines the influences which led to the beginnings of The Rag, an underground newspaper in Austin, TX, that would last for 11 years and give voice to a generation of young adults that were intent on changing ... -
EVOLUTIONARY AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF EFFECTOR CASPASES
(2021-04-16)Caspases are an ancient class of cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases that control apoptosis, responsible for cell differentiation, and maintain cellular homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Dysregulation of ... -
The Evolutionary History And Genomic Impact Of Mammalian Dna Transposons
(Biology, 2009-09-16)Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile repetitive sequences that make up large fractions of mammalian genomes, including at least 45% of the human genome. Class 2, or DNA intermediate transposons, which make up approximately ... -
Evolutionary Morphology Of The Speckled Rattlesnakes (viperidae: Crotalus Mitchellii Group)
(Biology, 2009-09-16)I examined various facets of morphological variation and evolution in the speckled rattlesnake (Crotalus mitchellii) species group. I performed three separate, but related, studies pertaining to the following topics: body ... -
Evolutionary Relationships In Some Northern Groups Of The Direct-developing Frog Genus Craugastor (Anura: Craugastoridae)
(Biology, 2012-07-25)Comparing phylogeographic patterns among vertebrates can give insight into the landscape and ecological determinants of phylogenetic diversity. However, in certain taxonomic groups (e.g., birds and mammals) natural history ... -
Evolving Modular Programs By Extracting Reusable Functions Using Significance Testing
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)Genetic programming is an automatic programming method that uses biologically inspired methods to evolve programs. Genetic programming, and evolutionary methods in general, are useful for problem domains in which a method ... -
Evolving Telephone Policy: Universal Service
(Urban & Public Affairs, 2007-08-23)Important public policy decisions are commonly made that depend upon short, medium, and long term time periods to achieve success or widespread adoption. Universal Service and telephone penetration among underserved ... -
