Mining and milling of metals were the primary industries in the study area during the late 1800’s into the early 1900’s. Wastes from the mining and milling processes are abundant in the area and present a significant ...

Extensive isotope labeling (2H, 13C and 15N), collision-induced dissociation (CID) and multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry were used to investigate the elimination of H2O from a series of model, metal-cationized ...

Fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites are beginning to find applications in constructing infrastructures such as bridges, railroads, etc. Composites may potentially be more durable replacements for steel and concrete, ...

The loss of properties due to the ultra violet (UV) light exposure has been a long standing problem in composite materials. To overcome this issue, the composite materials are often coated with a polymeric material. Even ...

H¿ model matching problem (MMP) for single-input/single-output (SISO) two frequency scale (TFS) systems is considered.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique to handle impairments of multipath channel. Alternatively, one of its major drawbacks is the drift in reference carrier, which is known as carrier ...

The purpose of this article is to examine the attitudes and substance use behaviors of African American adolescents living in the Midwest. A baseline survey was administered to 463 African American teens between the ages ...

Signals used in communication are often hypothesized to be optimally designed for their signalling environment. Here, we explore the importance of signalling substrate on seismic signal efficacy and reproductive behavior ...

A mixed-method research design was used to identify the components of professional development in two high achieving, high poverty K-12 Missouri public school districts, that most contributed to improved student achievement. ...
