Sex, War And Disease: The Effects Of Infection On Horn Size And Intra-sexual Competition In The Broad-horned Flour Beetle, Gnathocerus cornutus
(Biology, 2010-03-03)
Sexual selection is widely used to explain the evolution of mating systems where most often it is manifest as the competition among males for access to females. This competition takes the form of direct male-male interactions ...
Reactive Control Composition For Mobile Manipulators
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-07-19)
A mobile manipulator is a manipulator mounted on a mobile platform. Due to this combination it has increased mobility compared to a fixed manipulator and increased dexterity compared to a mobile platform. At the same time ...
Comparing The Genome Expression Profiles Of Verrucomicrobium Sp. Strain Tav2 Cells Grown Under Two Different Oxygen Concentrations
(Biology, 2010-11-01)
Termites are significantly different in their lifestyles and organization but most are linked by the common trait in degrading plant material, whether it is leaf litter, wood, soil or animal waste. They consume the ...

Topology Optimization Using Hyper Radial Basis Function Network
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Topology optimization has been conventionally used in automobile and aerospace industries to produce lightweight structures for minimum compliance or maximum fundamental frequency. Today, topology optimization finds ...
Development Of An Optical Spectroscopic Method To Detect Neurohemodynamic Changes Induced By Pain In Rats
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
In my optical spectroscopy study, multi-channel, thin optical probes with short source-detector separation have been implemented, calibrated, and used along with a multi-channel spectrometer as a quantitative technique to ...
Propagation And Generation Of Waves In Solar Atmosphere
(Physics, 2010-03-03)
The fact that the temperature increases with height in the solar atmosphere has been known for many years. To maintain this temperature increase, sources of heating must be present in the atmosphere. One of the most ...
Development Of Microscope Stage Incubator For Long-term Monitoring Of Neuronal Cell Culture During Axotomy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
It is imperative to understand the patterns in regeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system after injury. This understanding would provide a fundamental cue towards molecules and other factors involved in ...
Phenomenological Psychological Autopsies: A Survivor Driven Model For Understanding Suicide
(Social Work, 2010-03-03)
Over a million people worldwide die by suicide each year. 32,000 of these deaths occur in the United States. Strikingly, that number is miniscule in comparison to the 300,000 additionally recorded and 775,000 estimated non ...
In Vivo Tracking Of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Recruitment To Tissue Scaffolds
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
The term "Stem cells" has been extensively used to describe precursor undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to self-renew and can also give rise to multiple tissue types. Many studies have been shown improved ...
