Time-resolved measurement of single pulse femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structure formation
Kafka, Kyle ( 2015-02 )Time-resolved diffraction microscopy technique has been used to observe the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) from the interaction of a single femtosecond laser pulse (pump) with a nano-scale ... -
Social expectations reverse the effects of acetaminophen on economic decision-making
Roberts, Ian ( 2015-02 )On an average week, 23% of the US population takes acetaminophen (i.e. paracetamol; active ingredient in Tylenol; Kaufman, Kelly, Rosenberg, Anderson, & Mitchell, 2002). Originally viewed as just a physical pain killer, ... -
Minimal intestinal epithelial cell toxicity in response to short- and long-term food-relevant inorganic nanoparticle exposure
McCracken, Christie ( 2015-02 )Toxicity of commercial nanoparticles of titania, silica and zinc oxides is being investigated in this in vitro study. Particles of these compositions are found in many food items and thus this study is directed towards ... -
Oxidative stress-mediated inhibition of intestinal epithelial cell proliferation by silver nanoparticles
McCracken, Christie ( 2015-02 )Use of silver nanoparticles (NP) is of interest in the food and food packaging industries for their antimicrobial properties. In order to investigate potential consequences of Ag NP ingestion, this study was performed in ... -

Attitudinal Ambivalence: How Consumers Manage it?
Singh, Amit S. ( 2015-02 )Ambivalence often has been viewed as an attitude that has both positive and negative components to it. Ambivalence also is viewed as causing discomfort, thus motivating individuals to reduce it. In this research, we ... -
Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging: Rapid Characterization of Semiconductors
Deitz, Julia ( 2015-02 )In recent years, solar power has begun to approach cost-competitiveness with conventional power sources due to improvements in efficiency, manufacturing, and economies of scale. However, much of this advancement is reaching ... -
Two-dimensional NMR Measurement and Point Dipole Model Prediction of Paramagnetic Shift Tensors in Solids
Walder, Brennan ( 2015-02 )A new two-dimensional NMR experiment to separate and correlate the first-order quadrupolar and chemical/paramagnetic shift interactions is described. This experiment, which we call the shifting-d echo experiment, allows a ... -
In Vitro Evaluation of Biological Activity of Anthocyanin Based Lipstick Formulations
Westfall, Alexandra ( 2015-02 )The growing market demands for health-promoting ingredients, as well as a growing concern over the use of synthetic colorants in consumer products, highlights the need for alternative coloring ingredients in cosmetic ... -
Tap Dance, Notation, and the Archive: The Possibilities are Plural
Schroeder, Janet ( 2015-02 )While processing the archives of American bandleader Ted Lewis, jazz expert Joseph Rubin discovered notations for nine tap dances. The scores were composed on a typewriter sometime in the mid-20th century. In this paper I ... -
A sociophonetic investigation of dialect features in Highland Ecuadorian Spanish
Garcia, Christina ( 2015-02 )Language and society are known to affect each other in many ways and we can often get a better understanding of social organization through language. The linguistic subfield of sociophonetics aims to understand how sounds ... -
Monte Carlo Simulation of Sunlight Transport through Solar Trees – a New Paradigm for Improving Sunlight Capture Efficiency
Verma, Navni ( 2015-02 )Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells arranged in complex 3D leaf-like configurations—referred to as a solar tree—can potentially collect more sunlight than traditionally used flat configurations. It is hypothesized that this could ... -
