First-principles Studies On N-type And P-type Doping In Cuprous Oxide
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2012)
We have performed studies on n-type and p-type cuprous oxide with and without doping by first principles methods. Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) is used for the geometry optimization. The total energy and the ...
Wear and Tribofilm Formation With Zinc-free Antiwear Additives
(Materials Science & Engineering, 12-10-2012)
Engine oil is used in all internal combustion engines to lubricate the moving parts & mitigate the wear due to friction. Along with the mentioned two functions, engine oil also serves to protect the engine from corrosion, ...
5 cm Gap Injury Repair: Growth Factor Support And Functional Analysis In A Rabbit Common Peroneal Nerve Model
(Biomedical Engineering, 12-10-2012)
Nerve conduits have shown to successfully bridge nerve gaps of ≤ 3 cm; however repair of longer, mixed or motor nerve gaps still remains a clinical challenge. In order to study regeneration techniques in clinically relevant ...
Epigenetics Of HOXC13 Endocrine Regulation And Its Role In Gene Expression And Tumorigenesis
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 12-10-2012)
HOX genes are a subgroup of homeobox containing gene superfamily and have crucial roles in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and embryonic development. HOXC13, one of 39 identified human HOX genes, is involved in ...
Micromachined Devices For In Vitro Biomedical Applications
(Electrical Engineering, 11-09-2012)
Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of tissues. Any deviation in the process can have serious consequences, such as atherosclerosis and cancer metastasis. During cancer metastasis, ...
The Moderating Effect Of Instrumental Job Attributes On The Relationship Between A Firm's Perceived Value Of Diversity And Its Organizational Attractiveness
(Management, 2012)
Increasingly more firms are targeting both racial and sexual minorities in recruitment ads to attain a diverse work climate. However, the challenge remains of recruiting job seekers without alienating qualified others. ...
Catalytic Hydro-liquefaction Of Lignite Coals Under Mild Conditions
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 12-4-2012)
A low-cost thermo-chemical process for the liquefaction of lignite coals is being developed at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). The coal-toliquids (CTL) project has focused of developing a liquefaction process ...
Effect Of Additive Morphology & Chemistry On Wear & Friction Of Greases Under Spectrum Loading
(Materials Science & Engineering, 12-10-2012)
The primary focus of grease development is to minimize friction and improve on wear and load bearing capacity. Traditional method to evaluate wear behavior of grease is based on ASTM D2266 which evaluates the performance ...
Reducing Lead Bioavalability In Soil By Adding Apatite II
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-04-11)
This study was an examination of phosphate-induced immobilization of lead (Pb) in soils through addition of apatite II (fish bone material). The sources of Pb minerals in the soils examined in this in situ remediation study ...
