Walking On Eggshells: Parents Diagnosed With Borderline Personality Disorder Impact On Their Children’s Development
(2020-05)Children with parents that suffer from a personality disorder often suffer long-lasting effects and are at a higher risk for developing a personality disorder and those whose parents have other mental illnesses or do not ... -
War Trophies and Ancestor Veneration, A Bioarchaeological Analysis of Maya Secondary Interments at Formative Cuello and K'axob in Northern Belize
(2015-05)Secondary interments, common among Maya burials, are typically identified by disarticulated or unnatural positioning of the skeleton within the grave. Various beliefs and procedures are responsible for these atypical ... -
Washing in hypotonic saline reduces the fraction of irreversibly-damaged cells in stored blood: a proof-of-concept study
(Blood Transfusion, 2017-09)Background During hypothermic storage, a substantial fraction of red blood cells (RBCs) transforms from flexible discocytes to rigid sphero-echinocytes and spherocytes. Infusion of these irreversibly-damaged cells into the ... -
Washing stored red blood cells in an albumin solution improves their morphological and hemorheological properties
(Transfusion, 8/1/2016)BACKGROUND Prolonged storage of red blood cells leads to storage lesions, which may impair clinical outcomes after transfusion. A hallmark of storage lesions is progressive echinocytic shape transformation, which can be ... -
Water Coning: A Mitigation Investigation
(2018)This undergraduate level research covers an analysis in the reservoir phenomenon known as water conning. The question being explored is if there exist a scenario where a dual well completion versus a single well completion ... -
Water Contents of the Mantle Lithosphere beneath the Southwestern United States: FTIR Analysis of Peridotite Xenoliths from the Rio Grande Rift, NM, and Dish Hill, CA
(2017-12)This project aims at understanding the distribution and partitioning behavior of water in the Earth's mantle relative to melting, metasomatism, and oxygen fugacity conditions. For that purpose, the water contents, Fe3+ ... -
Water molecules in the antibody朼ntigen interface of the structure of the Fab HyHEL-5杔ysozyme complex at 1.7 A? resolution: comparison with results from isothermal titration calorimetry
(Acta Crystallographica Section D: Biological Crystallography, 2005)The structure of the complex between hen egg-white lysozyme and the Fab HyHEL-5 at 2.7 A? resolution has previously been reported [Cohen et al. (1996), Acta Cryst. D52, 315�6]. With the availability of recombinant Fab, the ... -
Water oxidation with ruthenium catalysts
(2012-08)CeIV-activated water oxidation: A family of 29 mononuclear RuII complexes have been prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, electronic absorption, and cyclic voltammetry. These complexes are studied as catalysts for water ... -
WATER RIGHTS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY: EVIDENCE FROM INDIA
(2012-05)There is growing concern in the world to better manage water resources in order to sustain increased water demands. This heightened demand can be most importantly attributed to a rapid population growth and heightened ... -
Water Saturation Inversion Using Time-Lapse Seismic Data
(2021-05)A formula that explicitly expresses the change of seismic reflectivity from a 4D seismic baseline survey to a monitor survey in terms of change of water saturation, effective porosity, and initial water saturation results ... -
Watercolor in Context: Exploring Social Justice Issues Through Art
(2018-05)Background: Research denotes that many of America’s educational inequities are rooted in issues of gender, social class, and race. Due to demographic changes in the nation’s school population, pre-service educators are ... -
