The Faber-Jackson relation in Seyfert galaxies
(2007-05-29)Seyfert galaxies, in which accretion onto a massive nuclear black hole acts as a powerful energy source, allegedly have bulges more luminous per unit mass than those in normal galaxies. We have tested this claim through ... -
"Faber-Jackson relation in Seyfert galaxies"
(2005-06-23)Previous investigations have indicated that the bulges of Seyfert galaxies are more luminous than those in normal galaxies of the same mass. This may result if Seyfert bulges have experienced recent star formation, perhaps ... -
"A Framework for agent-based computational economics in economic geography"
(Drake University. College of Arts and Sciences. Departments of the Social Sciences., 2006-04)Economic geography is the study of how economic agents organize themselves in the economy. The name suggests that economists and geographers have been working together to build models. However, this is contrary to the ... -
"Freedom Summer tragedy: how three young boys deaths spurred the President, the FBI, the media and the American people to notice the Civil Rights Movement"

Gender Influences on Gait When Walking Normally Versus Carrying Weight
(2010-04-28)Anatomically, males and females have many differences. Females tend to have a wider pelvis than males. Traditionally, males have longer limbs as well as larger muscle mass. Based on these facts, we hypothesized that females ... -
Gender-Based Comparison of Walking Speed and Simultaneous Mental Math Performance
(2010-05-10)Walking is so automatic to us that we often multitask while walking (for instance, by talking to others, carrying things, or eating/drinking). However, it might be expected that multitasking would cause gait to change as ... -
"Genetic analysis of the human disease-causing gene ATM in yeast Tel1 and Mec1 mutants"
(2006-06-07)Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a recessive human disorder characterized by hypersensitivity to radiation, elevated risk of cancer development, nervous degeneration, premature senescence, and immune deficiencies. A-T is ... -
Genotoxicity of Genistein : A Molecular Analysis
(2010-04-21)Genistein is a naturally occurring phytoestrogen found in soy products. High intakes of soy products are associated with lower incidences of cancer, especially breast cancer. Genistein may act as a chemopreventative agent ... -
Glucose to Fuel: Investigating Renewable Resources for Glucose Production
(2009-06-24)Cellulose is a key component in plant cell walls, and is the most abundant biopolymer in the world. Enzymes can be used to break cellulose down into glucose, which can then be fermented to ethanol fuel. Avicel (a purified ... -
Granular Activated Carbon Versus Carbon Molecular Sieve as an Adsorbent inthe Lightweight Contingency Water Recovery System
(2009-06-24)Several different carbon-based materials are contenders for use as an absorbent in the first stage of the Lightweight Contingency Water Recovery System (LWC-WRS). Granular activated carbon has been proven as an effective ... -
Green Chemistry : Ionic Liquids Synthesis and its Application as Medium in Diels-Alder Reaction
(2010-05-10)Ionic Liquids have been considered as efficient and environmentally friendly reaction medium for a variety of organic reactions. Our experimental results on the synthesis of two of the imidizolium ionic liquids and their ... -
Green Chemistry: Microwave Synthesis of 1-Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Halide (Bromide and Iodide) Ionic Liquids and its Use as Medium in the Diels-Alder Reaction
(2011-04-19)The effectiveness of the substitution of room temperature ionic liquids for traditional aromatic solvents in the Diels-Alder Reaction was investigated. Two 1-Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Halide (Bromide and Iodide) ionic ... -
"Green chemistry: Phase-transfer catalyzed oxidation of cholesterol and elated compounds with sodium hypochlorite"
(2005-06-22)Phase transfer catalyzed oxidation of cholesterol and related compounds with sodium hypochlorite in ethyl acetate resulted in good to excellent yields of oxidized products. These reactions are mild, eficient, and safe. The ... -
Gross tissue appearances following hemorrhage, low-pressure stabilization, and resuscitation
(2007-05-31)In a severe prolonged hemorrhage and resuscitation protocol, when do gross abnormalities become apparent? Hypothesis: Gross tissue abnormalities will be more obvious in those animals that survive longer. Methods: 8 ... -
Heart Rate Response during Treadmill Running in Adidas _1 DLX Computerized Running Shoes at Various Shoe Settings
(2009-04-28)BACKGROUND: Runners encounter a wide variety of terrains of varying hardness which can be modified by midsole cushioning. Cushioned shoes are recommended for athletes to decrease impact forces. The adidas_1 DLXTM shoe is ... -
Hierarchical routing using k-SPR
(2007-05-31)The goal of our research is to create an improved routing protocol for Ad-Hoc Wireless networking. We began our research by studying a protocol developed by two Drake students, Tiffany Meredith and Jennifer Ehrlich, which ... -
How Federal Agencies Can Attract College Graduates
(2021-05)When asked about post-graduation plans, 27.3% of students declared intent to pursue working in private industry, while 2% intended to work for the federal government. Employees younger than 30 make up only 8.5% of the ... -
HPG function in men and women stratified by drug use and HIV status
(2007-05-29)Most studies of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) function and depression in illicit drug users focus only on men or do not consider the impact of HIV infection along with drug use. This study investigated relationships ... -
HPLC with Fluorometric Detection of Brain Catecholamines in a Pharmacodynamic Study Between Two Popular Antidepressants
(2010-04-21)Drug-drug interactions are a serious concern in US health care today, accounting for over 100,000 deaths annually. Bupropion (Wellbutrin®) is a well-established monocyclic antidepressant that is also used in the treatment ...
