Perceptions of false confessions: Reducing prejudice toward exonerees through the use of educational materials
(2013-08-01)
Educational campaigns are commonly used for prejudice reduction (Levy Paluck & Green, 2009). We were interested if educational campaigns, such as those used by innocence organizations, were successful in reducing prejudice ...
Reliable peer-to peer multicast streaming
(2013-01-01)
P2P is increasingly gaining its popularity for streaming multimedia contents. The architecture of streaming has shifted from traditional client server architecture to P2P architecture. Although it is scalable and robust ...
Development and analysis of a solar-based integrated system with a CO2 Rankine power cycle
(2013-10-01)
The current work is a thermodynamic-based design and analysis of a solar-based
integrated system for power production. In this regards, a reheat supercritical carbon
dioxide (S-CO2) Rankine cycle is proposed. This cycle ...
Experimental design, analysis and improvement of a Marnoch Heat Engine with heat recovery.
(2013-01-01)
This research examines the prototyping of a Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) and
conducts thermodynamic and heat transfer analyses of this heat engine with a waste heat
recovery system. The heat source for the MHE can be low ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of siRNAs modified at the backbone with a novel triazole-based internucleotide linkage and abasic alkyl-chain linkages of varying length
(2013-04-01)
For over a decade, the use of double-stranded short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to silence the expression of genes associated with disease at the translational level has gained much attention. Using a highly conserved ...
Analysis of the volatile organic compounds produced by the decomposition of pig carcasses and human remains
(2013-03-01)
Complex processes of decomposition produce a variety of chemicals as soft tissues and their component parts are degraded. Among others, these decomposition by-products include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible ...
Determining the impact of carrion decomposition on soil microbial activity levels and community composition.
(2013-12-01)
The ubiquitous nature of microorganisms and their specificity to certain locations make them potentially useful for forensic investigators. Advances in microbial profiling techniques have made it possible to compare microbial ...
The production and characterization of ceramic carbon electrode materials for CuCl-HCl electrolysis.
(2013-07-01)
Current H2 gas supplies are primarily produced through steam methane reforming and other fossil fuel based processes. This lack of viable large scale and environmentally friendly H2 gas production has hindered the wide ...
