Characterization of sediment, sewage and 0157 E. coli: a comparison of their virulence genes, biofilm forming capacities, antibiotic resistance and level of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
(2018)
Even though sediment Escherichia coli is a common source of contamination in freshwater environments, their virulence and physiological characteristics are not well studied. The goal of this study was to compare the virulence ...
Bioenergetic evaluation of a whole-lake nanosilver addition on Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(2018)
Nanosilver (nAg) is an antibacterial and antimicrobial agent. Its wide use in hundreds of commercial products and industrial applications suggests a high potential for release into the environment. Previous research indicates ...
Person focused directives for end of life care in long term care (PFD-LTC)
(2018)
Dementias are age-related, neurodegenerative diseases, the cases of which are expected
to rise exponentially as the population ages. To date there is no known cure or intervention that
appreciably slows the progression ...
Non-destructive testing to monitor the strength increase of electrokinetically treated soil
(2018)
Electrokinetics in geotechnical engineering is used to increase the shear strength of soft soils and the load carrying capacity of piles embedded in these soils. This is achieved by decreasing the water content of the soil ...
Stock price crash risk and insider trading : evidence from China
(2018)
This paper examines the impact of prior crash risk on insider trading behaviour using a
sample of Chinese A-share firms for the 2010-2015 period. Prior crash risk is publicly available
information yet represents a source ...
Examination of independent contributions of driver, crash, vehicle and geometric characteristics to driver fatalities
(2018)
In 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had recorded a total of 37,461 road-related mortalities within the United States alone. To alleviate the effects of road fatalities concerning economy and ...
Measurement of Rabi oscillation in a spin system
(2018)
This work proposes that during the application of an on-resonance MR-
pulse there exists a Rabi oscillating fi eld which can be directly measured
from a nuclear spin system. These oscillations have been previously ...
A functional trait analysis of successional pathway dynamics
(2018)
The study of plant community re-assembly following disturbances in anthropogenically managed landscapes is a necessity in today’s climate. The measurement of plant functional traits is a tool that can be of great help in ...
Identifying variables affecting students' academic performance among engineering students
(2018)
An essential consideration for campus administrators and faculty members is that
students complete their degree with good academic grades. Being able to predict
factors affecting students performance is necessary to help ...
Building information modeling-enhanced visualization tool for structural health monitoring
(2018)
With growing number of modern complex infrastructure, robust and autonomous
condition assessment of large-scale structures under operational loads and extreme
climatic events has garnered significant attention. Data-driven ...
