Reduction in electrode size down to nanometers dramatically enhances the detection sensitivity and temporal resolution. Here we explore nanoelectrode arrays (NEAs) and nanoparticles in building high performance biosensors. ...

A new approach to synthesize nanosized strontium titanate (SrTiO3) and barium titanate (BaTiO3) has been developed. Nanocrystals of mixed metal oxide were synthesized by a modified aerogel procedure from alkoxides. The ...

As the 1950s began, Western European defense policy posed unique challenges for the United States. At the outset of the Cold War, U.S. officials recognized that maintaining a free Western Europe was vital to the long-term ...

Elucidating the molecular basis of adaptive phenotypic variation represents a central aim in evolutionary biology. Using the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana, I studied the intra-specific variation in freezing ...

The purpose of this study is to examine how the industrial process of rapid prototyping might reshape practice and making in architecture. Rapid prototyping is defined as an accelerated, adaptive evolution of a system or ...

Evolving needs for universities, municipalities, and corporations demand more sustainable and efficient techniques for data management. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enables decision makers to spatially analyze the ...

Two studies were undertaken to evaluate the use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to determine arterial oxygen saturation (StO[subscript]2) in cattle with naturally-occurring Undifferentiated Bovine Respiratory Disease ...

The selection of relevant genes for classification of phenotypes for diseases with gene expression data have been extensively studied. Previously, most relevant gene selection was conducted on individual gene with limited ...

A 2009 research report by the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Resources Inventory predicts that the developed area in the United States will increase by 54.4 million acres during the next 25 years (McMahon 2010, 2). ...

How does the social network structure of China’s Central Committee influence the direction and timing of intra-Party events, domestic policies, and foreign policies? How do changes in network structures explain specific ...
