Synthesis of Ta2O5 by Anodization and TaON by Nitridation and their Characterization
(2019)
Synthesis TaON nanotubes by annealed and nitrided tantalum oxide nanotubes. Tantalum oxide nanotubes was synthesized by traditional anodization method. Characterize TaON nanotubes' physical property by XRD (X-ray diffraction) ...
Validation of a PaCcET Socially-Aware Navigation Planner
(2019)
We present a socially aware navigation algorithm configured on a differential drive robot to validate simulation results. The robot will learn the social norms of four different scenarios, calculate a social goal trajectory, ...
Approaches to improving wheat quality by targeting local induced lesions in genomes
(2019)
As a staple in many popular foods, wheat plays an important role in many different cultures' cuisines and dishes. Therefore, it is important to be aware what the potential effects local wheat synthesis can have on local ...
Road Networks as Catalysts for Plant Invasion of Burned Landscapes
(5/6/2019)
Invasive species pose one of the greatest threats to ecological integrity and economic viability in dryland ecosystems, including Nevada's Great Basin. The positive feedback between invasive annual plants and wildfire ...
Being and Freedom: Ahmed, Irigaray and Beauvoir on Subjectivity Lack and Liberation
(5/6/2019)
In this essay, I explore the concept of lack and its presence in the thought of Simone de Beauvoir, Luce Irigaray and Sara Ahmed. Simone de Beauvoir's The Ethics of Ambiguity establishes an ethical system based on the ...
Stereological Assessment of Purkinje Cell Densities in Autism
(5/6/2019)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication, and is often accompanied by repetitive or stereotyped behaviors. The cerebellum ...
Genotyping of CRISPR-Edited Mice and Axonal Localization Patterns of Calmodulin 1 3’UTR Isoforms
(5/6/2019)
Calmodulin (CaM) is a key calcium-signal transducer in multiple cell types and is known to influence neuron differentiation, development, and maturation. Calmodulin 1 (Calm1) is one of many genes that encode for the CaM ...
Contagion Dynamics on an Adaptive Network: Norovirus as a Case Study
(5/6/2019)
In the field of public health and epidemiology, creating an epidemic model that accurately reflects real world contact networks has proven to be a complicated task. Contact networks model how individuals in a population ...
SLIT-2 conditional knock-out in parvalbumin-expressing interneurons lead to anxiety deficits
(5/6/2019)
Parvalbumin-expressing (PV) interneurons innervate a large amount of neighboring pyramidal neurons and establish perisomatic inhibition of pyramidal neurons. The lack of perisomatic inhibition is one of the factors for ...
Unsupervised Detection of Unclassified Objects via Graph-based Segmentations and Image Saliency Fusion for Automated Incremental Learning
(5/6/2019)
Current state-of-the-art machine learning systems efficiently identify known classes of objects with a high rate of success. However, their inference capabilities become limited in the presence of objects for which little ...
