can be considered advantageous in particular applications. Some of these properties include
topological mixing, continuous power ...
Differential Effects of Niacin on Adipose Tissue Inflammation, Hepatic Function, and Gut Microbiota Composition in C57BL/6J and B6129SF2/J Mice
(2019-07-18)
Background. Obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation, development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and altered gut microbiota composition. Niacin is beneficial in inhibiting obesity-associated ...
Application Of Neural Network On PLC-based Automation Systems For Better Fault Tolerance And Error Detection
(2019-07-18)
Neural networks have a wide range of applications such as building complex equations using the input and output characteristics of functions, predictions of outputs, error detections, monitoring complex systems, etc. Neural ...
Rainbow Cycle Forbidding Edge Colorings
(2019-07-18)
It is well known that K_n can be edge colored using n-1 colors in order to avoid rainbow cycles; moreover, this is the maximum number of colors possible. We call such an edge coloring a JL-coloring. In previous work it has ...
Three Essays on Asset Management and Financial Institutions
(2019-07-18)
In Chapter 1, we investigate the role of mutual fund flows in incorporating market sentiment into asset prices. We show that retail investors adjust their investments among mutual fund categories in response to changes in ...
Properties of Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Heterodisulfide Reductase
(2019-07-17)
Global warming is a continuing crisis today. It has caused great damage to our planet and health. One of the leading causes of this issue originates from humans releasing an enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the ...
Framework for user sentiment analysis to improve the usability of applications for generation z and young adults
(2019-07-17)
Three studies were conducted to explore machine learning support of novel learning problems. The first was a study of a computer-supported online learning website, which was designed to support teachers improving their ...
Accurate Calculation of Weak Intermolecular Interactions
(2019-07-17)
A variety of weak intermolecular interactions is investigated using both high-accuracy and approximate methods. A high accuracy potential energy curve for the interaction of two krypton atoms was produced as a prerequisite ...
Phenotypic and Genetic Aspects of Fertility in Beef Heifers
(2019-07-17)
Reproductive success of a heifer’s first breeding season is highly critical to the sustainability of beef cattle production systems. Therefore, multiple management practices exist to ensure heifers are properly developed ...
Theoretical Investigation of Doped Silicon Nanomaterials Synthesis and Properties
(2019-07-16)
With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution and 5G technology era, demand for semiconducting chips is expected to increase explosively. Most semiconductor devices are produced through hundreds of stages of chemical ...
Venom allergen-like protein diversification in flatworms
(2019-07-16)
Flatworm Venom Allergen-like Proteins (VAPs) modulate mammalian and avian host immune responses, but their evolutionary origins and functions within symbioses (especially parasitism) remain poorly studied. Previous studies ...
Developing Human Capital through Apprenticeships: A Post-Intentional Phenomenological Study of an Insurance Industry Learning Model
(2019-07-16)
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore a dual-training apprenticeship program in the United States (U.S.) insurance industry through the shared lived experience of adult participants. The ...
Aerodynamic Analysis of a Morphing Wing Using Vorticity Based Solver
(2019-07-16)
This study addresses an efficient approach to analyzing Variable Camber continuous trailing edge flaps (VCCTEF) wings, which mimics the concept of morphing or shape changing wings. The validation model used in this research ...
