Evaluation of a Functional Analysis Decision-Making Model
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Functional analyses are the most precise method for determining behavioral function (Iwata et al., 2000); however, there are many behavioral and environmental constraints that may prevent clinicians from conducting a ... -
Caenagnathids of the Hell Creek: A new specimen and volumetric mass estimation of Anzu wyliei
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Caenagnathidae is a clade of derived oviraptorosaurian theropods that existed in both Asia and North America during the late Cretaceous, forming the sister clade to Oviraptoridae. While the oviraptorids are known from many ... -
Sequence Coevolution Reveals an Intermediate Step in BamA Assisted Insertion of Outer Membrane Protein FadL
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)A unique characteristic of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) is that they almost exclusively exist as β-barrels. In E. coli, the β-Barrel Assembly Machine (BAM) complex catalyzes insertion of OMPs from the periplasm into the ... -
Occluding Junctions in Tissue Morphogenesis: Roles for Septate Junction Proteins in Drosophila melanogaster Egg Morphogenesis
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Tissue morphogenesis underlies many developmental processes in multicellular organisms and is essential for the basic organization of tissues and organs. Several cellular processes contribute to morphogenesis, including ... -
Functional Van der Waals Heterostructures of Low-Dimensional Materials for High-Performance Sensors
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Low-dimensional materials including zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional nanomaterials (1D) nanomaterials, and two-dimensional (2D) materials, have become promising candidates for functional devices. The electronic states ... -
Quorum-sensing regulation of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic-dependent effects on social cheating in the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)The Pseudomonas aeruginosa LasR-I quorum sensing system regulates secreted proteases that can be exploited by cheaters, such as quorum sensing receptor-defective (lasR) mutants. The LasR-I system is essential for virulence ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of hydrocarbon gas huff-n-puff in unconventional reservoir
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-31)Unconventional resources have become an important and irreplaceable part of the energy supply for industry and the public. The Eagle Ford play in Texas has been one of the most productive unconventional reservoirs in North ... -
Factors Affecting Traffic Crash Survivors’ Accessibility to a Trauma Center within the Golden Hour
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-31)The Golden Hour has been used as an ideal measure of patients’ access to trauma centers. It isthe one hour after any traumatic event, including a traffic crash. It was shown that if patients canarrive at the hospital within ... -
SINGLET FISSION FOR PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-31)The perovskite solar cell has recently gained momentum within the renewable energy industry due to its unique advantages such as high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, its instability remains a challenge to its ... -
Micropolar non-classical continuum theories for solids and fluids with rotational inertial physics
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-31)In this thesis, we derive the conservation and balance laws (CBL) and the constitutive theories for micropolar non-classical continuum theories (NCCT) for thermoviscoelastic solids (TVES) without memory in Lagrangian ... -
Impact of Climate Variability and Weather Extremes on Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-31)Inland freshwater ecosystems have been experiencing rapid and notable transformations in direct response to both climate shifts and human-induced stressors during recent decades. Land Surface Models (LSMs) play a vital ... -
Analysis of Spinal Rod Deformation After Cutting with a Surgical Rod Cutter
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-31)Scoliosis, a deformity characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, requires various treatment approaches depending on the severity of the condition, including surgical or non-surgical options. Surgical procedures, ... -
On the Importance of Surface Chemistry Upon Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Methods
(University of Kansas, 2023-08-31)Classic surface area characterization techniques require sample preparation and testing conditions that may be destructive to certain materials, misleading conclusions about their native properties. Particularly, ex-situ ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE HIGH-STRENGTH REINFORCING BARS WITH STANDARD HOOKS AND HEADS
(University of Kansas, 2023-08-31)Hooked and headed reinforcing bars are viable alternatives for development of reinforcing steel when member geometry does not allow for a straight deformed bar to fully develop its yield strength. Current design provisions ... -
ANCHORAGE OF HIGH-STRENGTH REINFORCING BARS IN CONCRETE
(University of Kansas, 2023-05-31)Hooked and headed reinforcing bars are commonly used as a means of shortening development length of reinforcing bars, but a limited amount of previous research has resulted in restrictions on their use in practice. This ... -
