Does it pay to move from welfare to work?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002)
The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act requires welfare recipients to lookfor work and has made it more difficult for nonworking recipients to remain on the welfare rolls. In addition,the ...
Pore-scale investigation of biomass plug development and propagation in porous media
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002-03-05)
Biomass plugging of porous media finds application in enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation. An understanding of biomass plugging of porous media was sought by using a porous glass micromodel through which biomass and ...
A study on academic integrity among engineering undergraduates (preliminary conclusions).
(Proceedings of the 2002 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, Montreal, Quebec, Canada., 2002-06)
Student academic dishonesty, commonly referred to as cheating, has
become a serious problem at institutions of higher education. This is
particularly true of engineering students who, according to previous
research, ...
New adsorbents for purification: Selective removal of aromatics
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-07)
Adsorption of benzene and cyclohexane on various Y-zeolites was investigated to develop sorbents for the purification of aliphatics by removal of aromatics. Ag-Y showed superior benzene/cyclohexane selectivities to Na-Y, ...
Externally Applied Cyclic Strain Regulates Localization of Focal Contact Components in Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-07)
Mechanical signals are critical regulators of cellular gene expression, yet little is understood of the mechanism whereby cells sense mechanical forces. In this study we have tested the hypothesis that mechanical strain ...
COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTOR SCREENING, DIMERIZATION, AND DESENSITIZATION
(2002)
Mechanistic models of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling are used to gain insight into how changes in drug properties affect cellular response. Broadly, this work is divided in to three areas focusing on drug ...
Chemical product design. By E.L. Cussler and G. D. Moggridge, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, U.K., 2001, 229 pp., $30.00
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-09)
No Abstract.
Adsorption of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon on Na-CeX Zeolites
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-12)
Commercial type X zeolites (Linde 13X) are nitrogen selective. Oxygen is the less abundant component in air; hence oxygen selective sorbents are desired for air separation. Mixed Na-Ce type X zeolites containing different ...
A comparison of the role of academic dishonesty policies of several colleges on the cheating behavior of engineering and pre-engineering students
(Proceedings of the 32nd Frontiers in Educational Conference, Boston, MA, 2002-11)
While universities take a variety of approaches in dealing with academic dishonesty, current evidence suggests that institutions with honor codes have a significantly lower level of self-reported cheating as compared to ...
