Amplifying the Macromolecular Crowding Effect Using Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2012-01-11)The melting temperature (Tm) of DNA is affected not only by salt but also by the presence of high molecular weight (MW) solutes, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), acting as a crowding agent. For short DNAs in a solution ... -
Amplifying “Keep It in the Ground” First-Movers: Toward a Comparative Framework
(Society & Natural Resources, 2020-06-17)This article offers a framework for analyzing and extending the recent wave of national “keep it in the ground” (KIIG) bans on fossil fuel exploration and production. We situate this discussion in new theoretical work on ... -
Analysis of a brownfield management conflict in Canada
(Japan Society of Hydrology and Water Resources, 2017)A strategic analysis of an ongoing brownfield management conflict in Elmira, Ontario, Canada is conducted using the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution. This investigation of the situation as it existed in late 2016 ... -
Analysis of a pressure-robust hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations
(Springer, 2019-08-30)We present well-posedness and an a priori error analysis of the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the stationary form of the Navier-Stokes problem proposed in (J Sci Comput, 76(3):1484{ 1501, 2018). This scheme ... -
Analysis of an Optimal Stopping Problem Arising from Hedge Fund Investing
(Elsevier, 2020)We analyze the optimal withdrawal time for an investor in a hedge fund with a first-loss or shared-loss fee structure, given as the solution of an optimal stopping problem on the fund's assets with a piecewise linear payoff ... -
Analysis of interval-censored recurrent event processes subject to resolution
(Wiley, 2015-09)Interval-censored recurrent event data arise when the event of interest is not readily observed but the cumulative event count can be recorded at periodic assessment times. In some settings, chronic disease processes may ... -
Analysis of Solid-State Reaction Mechanisms with Two-Dimensional Fourier Transform Infrared Correlation Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2021-01-28)The utility of two-dimensional generalized correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) for tracking complex solid-state reactions is demonstrated using infrared spectra acquired during a photochemically induced decomposition reaction. ... -
Analysis of the optimal time to withdraw investments from hedge funds with alternative fee structures
(Oxford Academic, 2022-04)We study the optimal stopping problem arising from an investor determining the optimal time to withdraw from a hedge fund investment with a shared loss fee structure and a positive fee for assets under management. The ... -
Analytical Approach for Modeling of Multi Well CO2 Injection
(Elsevier, 2016-11-14)Disposal of carbon dioxide (CO2) into underground geological formations is considered a viable strategy for the mitigation of global warming. It aims to reduce greenhouse gases emitted from point sources such as power ... -
Analytical approach for modeling of multi well CO2 injection
(Elsevier, 2017-07-01)Disposal of carbon dioxide (CO2) into underground geological formations is considered a viable strategy for the mitigation of global warming. It aims to reduce greenhouse gases emitted from point sources such as power ... -
Analytical Study of Coupling Effects for Vibrations of Cable-Harnessed Beam Structures
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2019-01-22)This paper presents a distributed parameter model to study the effects of the harnessing cables on the dynamics of a host structure motivated by space structures applications. The structure is modeled using both Euler-Bernoulli ... -
Analyzing linearizability violations in the presence of read-modify-write operations
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)We consider an algorithmic problem related to analyzing consistency anomalies in distributed storage systems. Specifically, given a history of read, write, and read-modify-write operations applied by clients, we quantify ... -
Anatexis of former arc magmatic rocks during oceanic subduction: A case study from the North Wulan gneiss complex
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Migmatites are widespread in the North Wulan gneiss complex from the South Qilian–North Qaidam orogenic belt, but their petrogenesis and ages are poorly constrained. Here, an integrated study of petrography, whole-rock ... -
An Anisotropic Subgrid-Scale Parameterization for Large-Eddy Simulations of Stratified Turbulence
(AMS, 2020-10-01)Subgrid-scale (SGS) parameterizations in atmosphere and ocean models are often defined independently in the horizontal and vertical directions because the grid spacing is not the same in these directions (anisotropic ... -
Anisotropy in the quasi-static and cyclic behavior of ZK60 extrusion: Characterization and fatigue modeling
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)The quasi-static and strain-controlled fatigue characteristics of ZK60 extrusion have been investigated along three different directions: the extrusion direction (ED), the radial direction (RD), and 45° to the extrusion ... -
Annual carbon balance of a peatland 10 yr following restoration
(Copernicus Publications, 2013-05-02)Undisturbed peatlands represent long-term net sinks of carbon; however, peat extraction converts these systems into large and persistent sources of greenhouse gases. Although rewetting and restoration following peat ... -
Antibacterial Porous Polymeric Monolith Columns with Amphiphilic and Polycationic Character on Cross-linked PMMA Substrates for Cell Lysis Applications
(The Royal Society of Chemistry: RSC Advances, 2013-10-09)The application of porous polymeric monolith (PPM) columns as an effective tool for bacterial cell lysi within microfluidic chips is demonstrated. By taking advantage of the large surface area and controllable pore size ... -
An Antibiotic Protocol To Minimize Emergence Of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
