An Investigation of Antimicrobial Properties of Grafoid Inc. Graphene Coatings
Graphene materials have been the center of attention due to their physicochemical properties. Moreover, in the past decade, these materials have attracted increasing attention because of their antimicrobial properties. A ... -
Three Essays on Organizational Economics
In the first essay, we build a model investigating how the nature of managerial human capital affects firms' choices of growth strategies. The model shows that when firms are cash constrained, managers with more general ... -
Advanced Characterization of Hydrides in Zirconium
Zirconium and its alloys are of great importance to the nuclear power industry due to their unique combination of mechanical properties, low neutron-capture cross-section, and sufficient corrosion resistance under reducing ... -
Natural Convective Heat Transfer From Horizontal and Inclined Two-Sided Bodies of Finite Thickness
Natural convective heat transfer from two-sided flat plates that are horizontal or inclined to the horizontal has been numerically and experimentally investigated. The objective of the study was to investigate the influence ... -
Neural correlates and effects of increased cognitive load on performance during the n-back task in major depressive disorder
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogenous disease that includes debilitating cognitive deficits, including working memory (WM). The n-back task used to examine WM as it requires continuous updating and ... -
Heat Migration and Solute Transport in a Discrete Fracture
The study of heat and solute transport in fractured rock can provide complementary information in aid of understanding the interaction between surface and groundwater, the long-term isolation of energy by products, the ... -
