  • Galaxy cluster angular-size data constraints on dark energy
    Chen, Y.; Ratra, B. (2012)
    We use angular size versus redshift data for galaxy clusters provided by Bonamente and collaborators to place constraints on model parameters of constant and time-evolving dark energy cosmological models. These constraints ...

  • A general lexicon for sensory analysis of texture and appearance of lip products
    Dooley, Lauren M.; Adhikari, Koushik; Chambers, Edgar IV (2009)
    Lip products (lipsticks, glosses and balms) are an important aspect of the cosmetics business. The lip product segment of the business has been expanding because the majority of women use some form of lip products. In ...
  • Generalizing survey results from student samples: Implications from service recovery research
    Ok, Chihyung; Shanklin, Carol W.; Back, Ki-Joon (2008)
    Using college students as research subjects in consumer research may or may not be appropriate. This paper discusses external validity of research findings using student subjects as surrogates for consumers in experimental, ...
  • Genetic associations of growth and lactation curve components in polled Hereford cattle
