Vascular injury and chronic arterial diseases such as atherosclerosis and restenosis result in exposure of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to increased concentrations of growth factors triggering a change from a contractile to a synthetic...
The research in this dissertation describes a simple electrochemical approach for fabricating nanoscale (metal/metal) or molecular (metal/polymer or self assembled monolayer (SAM)/metal) junctions. The fabrication involves metal deposition on one...
In this study, the author examined the relationship of probability misconceptions
to algebra, geometry, and rational number misconceptions and investigated the potential
of probability instruction as an intervention to address misconceptions in all...
Heat pipes; Solar heating--Passive systems; Solar heating--Research; Solar energy--Research
The one dimensional heat transfer, thermal diode effect of heat pipes makes
them ideal for passive solar applications. Gains in a heat pipe passive solar wall are not
lost during cloud cover or periods of low irradiation. An experimental model was...
