Computational biology is a powerful means to achieve a deeper understanding of the brain through modeling and simulations. To accomplish such a task, it is crucial to have the necessary data from all relevant components. ...
The Potomac River basin is home to more than six million residents and has experienced moderate and severe droughts in the past (e.g., 1930, 1966, 1999, and 2002). With population growth and consequential increasing water ...
Stratification in freshwater lentic systems is generally due to the effect of water temperature on its density. In dimictic lakes, there are two periods of full-lake mixing and two periods of stratification, summer ...

Transcription regulation is a highly orchestrated dynamic which mediates every aspect of organismal development. Following host perception of positive or negative stress, hormone-driven signaling amplifies extracellular ...
As more and more people begin living in urban areas the role the built environment plays
in creating a livable urban space is increasingly important. This research examines Jane
Jacobs’ four generators of urban diversity, ...
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a reliable scale for
measuring teachers’ willingness to initiate change efforts in their schools. A 64-item

This dissertation takes a multidisciplinary approach to examining public policy. On one level, the dissertation is a case study of the use of methodological triangulation to understand the values and beliefs of people ...
Large software systems can be designed as a set of loosely coupled services interacting with each other; simple services can be composed to form more complex services. But, for services to be usable in production, they ...
The scientific pursuit of the mind-brain relationship demands the ability to quantify
subjective cognitive phenomena. I applied two new psychometric tools, called
CRAM (Cued-Recalled Autobiographical Memories) test and ...
Touch DNA, also known as Trace DNA, is an important aspect of
criminal investigations, as the perpetrator is unaware of the DNA they have
left behind. While there are multiple ways to extract touch DNA, it has been
established ...
An all electron hybrid density functional approach (DFT) with very large basis sets was
used for studying Ca(2) through Ca(19) and Zn(3) through Zn(11) neutral clusters and their cluster
anions. Energetics, structure and ...
Atmospheric free radicals play an important role in the chemistry of the Earth atmosphere. Yet, there is limited knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of complexes such radicals can form with other components ...
