Evaluating the effectiveness of using touch sensor capacitors as an input device for a wrist watch computer
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
On the go computing is becoming more important for users who wish to access information from anywhere. Wearable computers are an optimal solution to achieving this feat because it allows for easy accessibility and quick ...
Direct Conversion for Space Solar Power
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Space Solar Power (SSP) is a powerful yet nearly untapped resource with revolutionary potential. SSP systems currently have several roadblocks to their implementation. With the technology in use today, converting solar ...
Stern-Volmer Quenching of Conjugated Polymers: A Study of Fluorophore Concentration
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
The purpose of this thesis is to re-examine the independence of Stern Volmer constants on the fluorophore concentration. Conventional theory suggests that Stern-Volmer constants are independent of fluorophore concentration. ...
Hybridization versus Randomly-Sorting Ancestral Alleles: Genetic Variation in Lake Malawi Cichlids
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Hybridization is believed to be an important mechanism for genetic diversity and speciation in many groups of organisms. One of the most important evolutionary signatures of hybridization is low phylogenetic resolution in ...
Chemical Mate-tracking in Copepods: A Comparison of Hesperodiaptomus shoshone and Temora longicornis
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Males of the marine copepod species Temora longicornis have been seen to track the chemical trails of females in order to locate the female for mating. The males of one freshwater copepod, Hesperodiaptomus shoshone, have ...
Low Static Power and High Throughput Wave-Pipelined Global Interconnect Circuits
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
This research project will explore a low-power, high-throughput design using high threshold voltage transistors in combination with wave-pipelining techniques across global interconnect circuits.
Gender Differences in Spatial Abilities
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
The purpose of this study is to summarize past research concerning gender differences in spatial abilities through the use of a detailed meta-analysis. Many investigators have claimed that there is a significant gender ...
Emotion Biases in Older and Younger Adults: Novelty Preference as an Index of Attention
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)
Past research indicates that emotionally-relevant stimuli attract visual attention, but also that the relationship between emotion and attention allocation varies between young and older adults. Although both young and ...
Fenretinide induces lethal autophagy via a novel ensemble of life and death regulators: dihydroceramide and sphinganine versus sphinganine 1-phosphate
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05)
Sphingolipids are unique lipids that serve numerous functions important in cell regulation. Some categories of sphingolipids have also been implicated in the mechanism of action of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, with the ...
