Stability of Viscous Flow Past a Rotating Cylinder
That high-alpha onset occurs via monotonically growing three-dimensional disturbances suggests existence of three-dimensional steady solutions. Such solutions would correspond to three-dimensional deformations of axisymmetric toroidal vortices generated by steady cylinder rotation in an otherwise …

Studies on the Possible Regulatory Function of Dietary Alpha-Linolenic Acid in Prostaglandin Synthesis by Immunocompetent Cells
Alpha-linolenate (18:3(omega)3) and its elongated, desaturated metabolites are known to predominate in certain tissues. The role of essential fatty acid (EFA), and therefore of PGs, in cell-mediated immunity has increasingly become of interest. Prostaglandins have been implicated in many areas of …

Life history, diversity and patterns of bat community structure in the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada
… in low to mid elevations, ten species in mid to high elevations, and three species at all elevations. Bats were most abundant in mid summer. Few differences were found among species in time of activity. The ranges of temperatures in which bats were active generally reflected their habitat use. …

Investigating the effects of neuromodulatory training on autistic traits: a multi-methods psychophysiological study.
… Neurofeedback training (NFT) on individuals with high autistic traits. In chapters 3 and 4 we employed simultaneous monitoring of physiological data. For chapter 3 EEG and eye-tracking was used, In the case of chapter 4, EEG and eye-tracking as well functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). …

Alteration mechanisms of spent nuclear fuel and characterization of potential uranium secondary phases.
… uranium as an energy resource, coupled with the high costs of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and the associated risks of nuclear proliferation make a strong case for direct disposal of SNF in deep underground geological disposal facilities. The escape of radionuclides from underground spent …

Sex Differences on a Mental Rotation Task: Variations in Hemispheric Activation Between Children and College Students
… boys and girls. After covarying for baseline EEG high alpha power values, EEG results during the mental rotation task indicated an interaction, with men exhibiting more activation (lower EEG power values at 10.5-13.5Hz) than women in the parietal and posterior temporal regions, while boys' and …

Identifying floral hosts of cerambycid beetles using palynology
… standardized markers added to samples. I found a higher abundance of pollen grains in the frass of palynivorous beetles collected on flowers than in the frass of beetles collected otherwise. I used the Shannon-Wiener Index to describe the diversity of pollen in the frass of beetles collected from …

EEG activation patterns in the frontal lobes of stutterers and nonstutterers during working memory tasks
… fluency. Also as hypothesized, stutterers had higher error scores (more false positives) on the auditory delayed match-to-sample key press task. This suggests increased sensitivity to auditory stimuli and difficulty inhibiting response to stimulation. Groups did not differ in digit span, but …

The reliability and validity of the violence risk scale - experimental version 1
… scale items was conducted using the Cronbach's alpha. Item analyses were also used to evaluate the independent contribution of each VRS-E1 item to the scale total score. The convergent validity of the VRS-E1 was evaluated by investigating the relationship of the VRS-E1 scores with the scores …

Effects of Pasteurella haemolytica on Pulmonary Vascular Adrenergic Mechanisms
… The effects of parenteral P. haemolytica on the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor mechanism, is described. The alpha-2 receptor mechanism, unlike the beta receptor mechanism appears to increase the amount of vasoconstriction. The possibility that the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor could also mediate …

Disentangling the chemodynamical history of the Milky Way disc with asteroseismology and spectroscopy
… enlarges the Galactic volume covered with high-resolution spectroscopic observations. Because APOGEE is much less affected by interstellar dust extinction, the sample covers the disc regions very close to the Galactic plane that are typically avoided by optical surveys. This allows us to …

Modeling and validation of a subscale aerobatic aircraft configuration in spin
… force coefficient limit increases in value for higher aspect ratio wings. The 6DOF simulations maintain a low computational cost in order to serve as a useful design tool for stall/spin studies. Such simulations incorporate the results of the flight and wind tunnel tests as well as the new …
