Background research and field monitoring of Riverwalk stalls, downtown San Antonio, Texas
(Archaeological Report No. 201, 1990)During the latter part of 1986, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, monitored the construction of a set of Riverwalk stalls constructed in a section of the Riverwalk north of ... -
Bad Bunny: A Contemporary Latinx Activist
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)Oppressive and hostile values of sexism, racism, and homophobia remain active within the Latinx community: values resulting from a continued history of U.S. imperialistic practices. This research explores the resistance ... -
Balancing tradeoffs between machining time and energy consumption for impeller rough machining
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)Electrical energy is directly linked to society prosperity across the globe -
Batch size optimization based on production part cost
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)When investigating different location and/or system designs the possible variables to take into consideration can differs between the alternatives. Different production system will have different optimal working conditions ... -
Bekenstein's Entropy Bound-Particle Horizon Approach to Avoid the Cosmological Singularity
(7/21/2020)The cosmological singularity of infinite density, temperature, and spacetime curvature is the classical limit of Friedmann's general relativity solutions extrapolated to the origin of the standard model of cosmology. Jacob ... -
Bernstein Polynomial-Based Method for Solving Optimal Trajectory Generation Problems
(2/27/2022)This paper presents a method for the generation of trajectories for autonomous system operations. The proposed method is based on the use of Bernstein polynomial approximations to transcribe infinite dimensional optimization ... -
Beyond Depression and Suicide: The Mental Health of Transgender College Students
(2/21/2017)Research studies examining the mental health of transgender individuals often focus on depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation through the use of clinic samples. However, little is known about the emerging adult (18–26 ... -
Big Decisions: A Multi-Generational Theme
(2021-02-09)Both me and my parents have had to take great leaps of faith to follow our dreams, not always knowing where they will take us. -
Biglycan and chondroitin sulfate play pivotal roles in bone toughness via retaining bound water in bone mineral matrix
(Matrix Biology;Vol. 94, 9/28/2020)Recent in vitro evidence shows that glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans (PGs) in bone matrix may functionally be involved in the tissue-level toughness of bone. In this study, we showed the effect of biglycan (Bgn), ... -
Bioinspired design of hybrid composite materials
(International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials;10(1), 11/24/2018)Mimicking the natural design motifs of structural biological materials is a promising approach to achieve a unique combination of strength and toughness for engineering materials. In this study, we proposed a 2D computational ... -
Biomechanical Restoration Potential of Pentagalloyl Glucose after Arterial Extracellular Matrix Degeneration
(7/3/2019)The objective of this study was to quantify pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) mediated biomechanical restoration of degenerated extracellular matrix (ECM). Planar biaxial tensile testing was performed for native (N), enzyme-treated ... -
Biometric Pilot-Studies Reveal the Arrangement and Shape of Windows on a Traditional Façade to be Implicitly "Engaging", Whereas Contemporary Façades Are Not
(5/18/2020)The human brain evolved to implicitly approach or avoid objects in its surroundings. Requisite for survival, this behavior happens without conscious awareness or control, honed over 60 million years of primate evolution. ... -
Biophotons and Emergence of Quantum Coherence—A Diffusion Entropy Analysis
(Entropy;23(5), 2021-04-29)We study the emission of photons from germinating seeds using an experimental technique designed to detect light of extremely small intensity. We analyze the dark count signal without germinating seeds as well as the photon ... -
