A robust analytical procedure is required in order to study model systems for abiotic RNA polymerization. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) has been used as a ...

Scarcity of the wireless spectrum has become a major problem as a result of the rapid growth in wireless communications. With the proliferation of smart phones and tablets, wireless data more than doubles every year. The ...

In the past few decades, the field of ecology has grown from a collection of disparate researchers who collected data on their local phenomenon by hand, to large projects fueled by automated sensor networks that rely on ...

Surface acoustic impedance or admittance at the boundary is essential for estimating and evaluating a room's acoustic performance. In this article, a Bayesian-based model selection method and parameter estimation is presented ...

Geotechnical engineering requires successfully interpreting field conditions to design an appropriate solution, but how engineers accrue the judgment required to make appropriate decisions is a research area still in its ...

During heat treatment of polycrystalline materials, grain shape affects the rate of grain growth. In 2-D, the von Neumann-Mullins Law requires grains with fewer than six edges to shrink, greater than six edges to grow, and ...

Here, the ensembles of Aβ were simulated using all atom models and explicit water. Further, we employed enhanced sampling through replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) using longer timescales than had been employed ...

This dissertation focuses on human decomposition research within the forensic sciences, in particular forensic entomology, and how the death certificate Manner of Death category ‘Natural Death’ effects forensic research ...
