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 ... -
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 ... -
HPLC-UV Analysis of Bupropion and Hydroxybupropion : Application to In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interaction Studies Between Bupropion and Potent CYP2B6 Inhibitors
(2010-04-28)Bupropion is a popular antidepressant that is also prescribed in the management of smoking cessation. In humans, bupropion is predominantly metabolized to its active metabolite hydroxybupropion by CYP2B6. Inhibitors of ... -
HST Long Slit Spectroscopy of NGC 1068 and NGC 4151
(2009-04-22)NGC 1068 annd NGC 4151 are Seyfert Galaxies, the most common type of active galaxy, in which a luminous nucleus is powered by accretion onto a massive black hole at its center. Seyfert galaxies are known to exhibit high ... -
Hubble space telescope imaging of seyfert galaxies
(2007-06-01)Recent searches for massive black holes in galactic nuclei show that they are common if not ubiquitous. Furthermore, there are important relationships between black hole mass and properties characterizing the size and ... -
The Hydrogen Molecular Ion in an Intense Elliptically Polarized Laser Pulse
(2012-04-23)We investigate how the simplest molecular ion, Dihydrogen (H2 +), reacts when exposed to an intense ultrashort laser pulse. We use a computer code written in parallel FORTRAN, which is run on a Drake-owned cluster. The ... -
"Identification of yeast genes important for chromosome transmission"
(2006-05-05)Accurate transmission of chromosomes during cell division requires that chromosomes are fully replicated and free of damage prior to cell division. Furthermore, cellular processes that separate chromosomes must be functional. ... -
Identifying Human Host Proteins That Interact With Influenza A Polymerase Proteins Using The Yeast Two-Hybrid System
(2013-04-16)Influenza viruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses which cause 250,000 to 500,000 deaths per year. Understanding how influenza A viral proteins interact with human proteins is essential for identifying factors ...
