5-Oxo-ETE Antagonists in Allergic Disease; Design and Synthesis of Affinity Chromatography Ligand for 5-HEDH; and Synthesis of Isoprostanes as an Index for the Diagnosis in Alzheimer’s Disease
(2017-12)Arachidonic acid (AA, 4, Figure 1) is a 20:4 (ω-6) fatty acid with a 20-carbon chain and four cis-double bonds, and the esterified form of AA in phospholipids can be enzymatically liberated by phospholipases (PL) and ... -
The ~60-year power spectral peak of the magnetic variations around London and the Earth's rotation rate fluctuations
(1989)Maximum entropy spectral analysis has been applied to the annual mean magnetic data around London for the years 1839-1974. These data were compiled by Malin and Bullard. The existence of a ~60 yr spectral line is clearly ... -
70 DA white dwarfs identified in LAMOST pilot survey
(2013-06)We present a spectroscopically identified catalog of 70 DA white dwarfs (WDs) from the LAMOST pilot survey. Thirty-five are found to be new identifications after cross-correlation with the Eisenstein et al. and Villanova ... -
The 72-h WEBT microvariability observation of blazar S5 0716+714 in 2009
(2013-10-10)Context. The international Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) consortium planned and carried out three days of intensive micro-variability observations of S5 0716+714 from February 22, 2009 to February 25, 2009. This ... -
A Robot Platform for Intelligent Ground Vehicle Research
(2016-11)This thesis presents a mobile platform developed for further research on the Intellegent Ground Vehicle project which began as a capstone project but without achieving full autonomy. The scope of the current project is ... -
Abortion in the United States: Identifying Populations That Perceive the Most Abortion-Related Stigma
(2019-02)Approximately three million pregnancies in the United States each year are unintended, and about half of the women who experience an unwanted, unintended pregnancy obtain an abortion to terminate their pregnancy. However, ... -
Absorption spectroscopy of colored dissolved organic carbon in Georgia (USA) rivers: The impact of molecular size distribution
(2003)Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was collected in six rivers that transect the coastal plain of Georgia in July 1999 and February 2000. DOC concentrations ranged from 4.9 to 40.7 g m-3 and from 7.1 to 40.5 g m-3, respectively. ... -
Abundance of elements beyond the iron group in cool do white dwarfs
(2005-09-10)We report the presence of elements beyond the iron group in the atmospheres of the cool DO white dwarfs HD 149499 B and HZ 21. Photospheric lines of germanium (Z = 32), arsenic (33), selenium (34), tin (50), tellurium (52), ... -
Abundances and energy spectra of corotating interaction region heavy ions observed during solar cycle 23
(2008-05-10)Using instruments on the ACE spacecraft, we surveyed the heavy-ion spectra and composition over the range He– Fe for 41 corotating interaction regions (CIRs) during 1998–2007. Below~ 1 MeV nucleon^-1 the spectra are power ... -
Abundances of heavy and ultraheavy ions in ³He-rich solar flares
(2004-05-01)We have surveyed ³He-rich solar energetic particle (SEP) events over the period 1997 September-2003 April in order to characterize abundances of heavy ions near 400 keV nucleonˉ¹. The first part of the study focuses on 20 ... -
Academic Integrity & Academic Dishonesty: A Handbook About Cheating & Plagiarism
(2011)Introduction By the year 2000, it was evident that two new specters were haunting the halls of academia: a proliferation of legitimate Internet sites (e.g. primary source texts) and illegitimate Internet sites (e.g. ... -
Acceleration of low-energy ions at parallel shocks with a focused transport model
(2013-04-10)We present a test particle simulation on the injection and acceleration of low-energy suprathermal particles by parallel shocks with a focused transport model. The focused transport equation contains all necessary physics ... -
Acceleration of suprathermal particles by compressional plasma wave trains in the solar wind
(2010-12-04)This paper presents a calculation of particle acceleration by an idealized compressional plasma wave train. In this model, suprathermal particles, such as pickup ions, are continuously injected into a wave train consisting ... -
