Non-Binary and Gender Expansive Young Adults: Perceptions of Their Lived Experiences With Gender Identity
(2020-07-29)Non-binary and gender expansive (NBGE) young adults face disproportionate rates of violence and discrimination within systemic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal contexts. Extant literature neglects the study of this ... -
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Soil Moisture in Evapotranspiration Cover System
(2017-12-07)A conventional landfill cover system is designed as a barrier layer system, with low hydraulic conductivity, to minimize the percolation of water from the cover to the waste. Evapotranspiration (ET) covers are currently ... -
Non-destructive SASW Evaluation Of Controlled Low Strength Material As A Pipeline Bedding Material
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-09-17)Evaluation of stiffness properties of subsurface soil layers provides vital insight into the performance of a geotechnical entity. Stiffness properties can be determined by both field and laboratory tests. Owing to their ... -
A Non-heme Diiron Monooxygenase From Salmonella Typhimurium: Biochemical Characterization Of TRNA-modifying MiaE
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2013-07-22)MiaE is a carboxylate bridged, non-heme diiron monooxygenase which catalyzes the O2-dependent hydroxylation of a hypermodified tRNA nucleoside at position 37 (2-methylthio-N-6-isopentenyl adenosine (37)-tRNA) [designated ... -
Non-Heme Iron Oxygenases: An Investigation of the Protein Ligand Effects on the Chemical Reactivity in MiaE and Cysteamine Dioxygenases
(2019-09-05)Considerable research interest has focused on the non-heme oxygenase/oxidase enzyme family because of vast array of chemically diverse O2-depedent oxidations they participate in. For example, the bacterial multicomponent ... -
Non-Intrusive Reduced Order Model Formulation for Inverse Shape Design Including Deforming Meshes and Multiphysics Problems.
(2023-12-04)Despite significant advancements in computer capabilities for numerical simulations, engineers continue to face limitations when dealing with large-scale full-order model(FOM) simulations. These simulations often necessitate ... -
A Non-invasive Assessment Of Moisture Content Of Municipal Solid Waste In A Landfill Using Resistivity Imaging
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)A bioreactor landfill is operated to enhance waste decomposition, gas production, and refuse stabilization. The fundamental aspect in the operation of a bioreactor landfill is the controlled addition of water and/or the ... -
Non-invasive Biomedical Imaging And Radiobiology Investigations In Pre-clinical Prostate Tumor Models
Oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) in prostate tumors can hinder the biological effectiveness of radiotherapy. Therefore the ability to assess tumor hypoxia non-invasively in vivo in man could significantly improve therapy outcome. ... -
Non-Invasive Measurement of the Internal Temperature of Heat-Generating Bodies
(2016-11-30)While the surface temperature of a heat-generating solid body can be measured using a variety of methods, there is a scarcity of techniques that exist for non-invasively measuring the temperature inside the solid body. ... -
NON-INVASIVE PROFILING OF MOLECULAR MARKERS IN BRAIN GLIOMAS USING DEEP LEARNING AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGES
(2021-04-29)Gliomas account for the most common malignant primary brain tumors in both pediatric and adult populations. They arise from glial cells and are divided into low grade and high-grade gliomas with significant differences in ... -
