N-Acylethanolamine Metabolism During Seed Germination: Molecular Identification of a Functional N-Acylethanolamine Amidohydrolase
N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are endogenous lipid metabolites that occur in a variety of dry seeds, and their levels decline rapidly during the first few hours of imbibition (Chapman et al., 1999, Plant Physiol., 120:1157-1164). Biochemical studies supported the existence of an NAE amidohydrolase …

An Exploratory Study of Project Lead the Way Secondary Engineering Educators' Self-Efficacy
… content in secondary schools across America (NAE & NRC, 2009). Given that none of those teachers were specifically prepared for that task in pre-service secondary engineering teaching licensure programs, some—or perhaps even many—of these new secondary engineering educators might be …

Exploring Outcomes of Leader's Self-Perceived Group Prototypicality and Followers' Perceived Leader Group Prototypicality
As members of their groups, leaders can vary in terms of the extent to which they reflect the members’ values, norms, and attitudes. Using the concept of leader group prototypicality- the extent to which a leader is a representative of the group or organizational identity (Hogg, 2001)- this study …

End-to-end non-negative auto-encoders: a deep neural alternative to non-negative audio modeling
… idea of end-to-end non-negative autoencoders (NAEs) as an updated deep learning based alternative framework to non-negative audio modeling. We show that end-to-end NAEs combine the modeling advantages of non-negative matrix factorization and the generalizability of neural networks while …

Static Urbanism: A Design Framework for Bucharest's Neighborhoods
The project argues that post-war modernist residential neighborhoods such as those built during the communist regime in Bucharest, are valuable resources in need of design interventions meant to unlock their potential. 'Static Urbanism' is an urban strategy and a design framework for transforming …

Colloidal structures with novel functions
Over the last two decades, many kinds of environmentally responsive materials based on the chemical nature of gels and adsorption of surfactants at various interfaces are proposed. For the development of colloidal systems showing novel functionality we have designed various experimental systems for …

Low-temperature growth of silicon and silicon-germanium alloy by ultrahigh vacuum ion-beam sputter deposition
The use of energetic (average energy $\simeq$ 18 eV), rather than thermal, Si beams increased Si(001) epitaxial thicknesses t$\rm\sb{e}$ by up to an order of magnitude over the growth temperature range $\rm T\sb{s}=80{-}300\sp\circ$C yielding t$\rm\sb{e}$ = 10 nm-1.2 $\mu$m at a growth rate R = 0.1 …

Casimir Force in Non-Planar Geometric Configurations
The Casimir force for charge-neutral, perfect conductors of non-planar geometric configurations have been investigated. The configurations were: (1) the plate-hemisphere, (2) the hemisphere-hemisphere and (3) the spherical shell. The resulting Casimir forces for these physical arrangements have …

Twelve Tales of Engineering in the "Real World:" Narratives of Newcomers' Agency in Transitions to Engineering Work
… more recent reports like "The Engineer of 2020" (NAE, 2004), and "Lean Engineering Education," (Flumerfelt et al., 2015) describe the need for engineers who are creative leaders, who have sustainability and ethics skills. Two narrative threads emerge from these reports: that engineering education …
