Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence Regarding the Intrusiveness of Recording Devices in Naturalistic Research
(Journal of Social Sciences ResearchVolume 1, 2016)Critics of naturalistic social science research charge that participant awareness of the existence of a recording device alters the behavior of the research participants, known as the “Hawthorne effect.” This study compares ... -
Quality measurement in the supply chain
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)Supply Chain Management is the integration of business processes along the value chain, from suppliers to end customer. Performance measurement of these processes has so far received little attention from researchers and ... -
Quantifying Privacy Risks for Continuous Trait Data
(2022-10-20)In the context of life sciences, the rapid biotechnical development leads to the creation of huge amounts of biological data. The use of such data naturally brings concerns on human genetic privacy breaches, which also ... -
Quantifying Snow Albedo Radiative Forcing and Its Feedback during 2003–2016
(2017-08-25)Snow albedo feedback is one of the most crucial feedback processes that control equilibrium climate sensitivity, which is a central parameter for better prediction of future climate change. However, persistent large ... -
Quantifying the Impact of Feedstock Quality on the Design of Bioenergy Supply Chain Networks
(2016-03-16)Logging residues, which refer to the unused portions of trees cut during logging, are important sources of biomass for the emerging biofuel industry and are critical feedstocks for the first-type biofuel facilities (e.g., ... -
Quantum Computation, Quantum Algorithms and Implications on Data Science
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)Quantum computing is a new revolutionary computing paradigm, first theorized in 1981. It is based on quantum physics and quantum mechanics, which are fundamentally stochastic in nature with inherent randomness and uncertainty. ... -
Racial Differences in Breastfeeding on the Mississippi Gulf Coast: Making Sense of a Promotion-Prevalence Paradox with Cross-Sectional Data
(2022-12-03)Breastfeeding is less prevalent among African American women than their white peers. Moreover, breastfeeding rates in the South lag behind those in other regions of the U.S. Consequently, various efforts have been undertaken ... -
Raman energy density in the context of acoustoplasmonics
(Physical Review B;Vol. 106, Iss. 16, 2022-10-28)Interactions between elementary excitations are of great interest from a fundamental aspect and for novel applications. While plasmon-excitons have been extensively studied, the interaction mechanisms between acoustic ... -
Raman-Brillouin electronic density in short-period superlattices
(Physical Review B;Vol. 82, Iss. 7, 2010-08-12)We analyze and interpret resonant Raman-Brillouin scattering by folded acoustic vibrations in short-period GaAs/AlAs superlattices. Analysis of the spectra and their resonance behavior is performed using a Raman-Brillouin ... -
Raman-Brillouin light scattering in low-dimensional systems: Photoelastic model versus quantum model
(Physical Review B;Vol. 75, Iss. 24, 2007-06-05)Raman-Brillouin scattering by acoustic phonons in a free-standing nanosized silicon film is studied theoretically. Two well-known models are used to describe the inelastic light scattering. (i) The Raman-Brillouin quantum ... -
Ranchers, farmers, soldiers, and the CCC: The background for seven historical sites at Camp Bowie, Brown County, Texas
(Archaeological Report No. 325, 2002)During the mid-1990s, a cultural resources survey of Camp Bowie was conducted by the Environmental Resources Management Branch of the Adjutant General's Department of Texas (AGTX-EV) which identified a number of historical ... -
Rapid and Low-Cost Culture-Based Method for Diagnosis of Mucormycosis Using a Mouse Model
(2020-03-20)Prompt and targeted antifungal treatment has a positive impact on the clinical outcome of mucormycosis; however, current diagnostic tools used in histopathology laboratories often fail to provide rapid results. Rapid ... -
Re-Examination of Health Disparities in the United States: A 3-Pronged Health Intervention Proposal
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)Decades of research have revealed immense disparities in health in the United States, but scholars are still working to pinpoint the causes of these disparities and find solutions. In this review, new ideas and current ... -
A Recombinant Aspartyl Protease of Coccidioides posadasii Induces Protection against Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis in Mice
(Infection and Immunity;Vol. 74, No. 1, 2006-01-01)Coccidioidomycosis is a respiratory disease of humans caused by the desert soil-borne fungal pathogens Coccidioides spp. Recurrent epidemics of this mycosis in the southwestern United States have contributed significantly ... -
Recombinant Urease and Urease DNA of Coccidioides immitis Elicit an Immunoprotective Response against Coccidioidomycosis in Mice
(Infection and Immunity;Vol. 69, No. 5, 2001-05-01)Coccidioides immitis antigens which stimulate a T helper cell 1 (Th1) pathway of host immune response are considered to be essential components of a vaccine against coccidioidomycosis. Recombinant urease (rURE) and recombinant ... -
A Recombinant β-1,3-Glucanosyltransferase Homolog of Coccidioides posadasii Protects Mice against Coccidioidomycosis
(Infection and Immunity;Vol. 71, No. 6, 2003-06-01)Coccidioides posadasii is a fungal respiratory pathogen which is responsible for recurrent epidemics of San Joaquin Valley fever (coccidioidomycosis) in desert regions of the southwestern United States. Numerous studies ... -
