A Mathematical Model Development And Sensitivity Analysis Of Two Photon Polymerization For 3D Micro/nano Fabrication
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Two photon polymerization (2PP) is an effective technique for the fabrication of complex polymeric 3-D micro/nano features using ultrashort pulses from a NIR laser source. The photosensitive material absorbs two photons ...
Mass Spectrometry-based Biomolecular Recognition And Response Factor Investigations Using Electrospray Ionization
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-09-17)
Integrins are transmembrane proteins found in almost all cells. They play vital roles in many biological processes, such as angiogenesis and signal transduction, through their interactions with different extracellular ...
Design And Analysis Of Multi-functional Laparoscopic Tool
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Laparoscopic tools have been developed over many years, but there is a need for a laparoscopic tool that can be used for multiple purposes without the need to be removed and reinserted in the body. This thesis discusses ...

In a previous study, we (Kenworthy & Jones, 2008) examined the effect of induced anxiety on depersonalized in-group trust within low and high importance groups. We found that the anxiety induction increased depersonalized ...
The Roles Of Ingroup Identification, Prior Commitment, And Group Needs In Predicting Reactions To Group Defection
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)
Three experiments were conducted to explore the effects of group member defection (versus control) on reactions by ingroup members. In Study 1, emotional reactions were less positive toward defectors than toward controls, ...
