The Tower, Volume 1, Spring 2009
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
Functional Neuroimaging Investigation of the Neural Mechanisms for Successful Feeling-of-Knowing Judgments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
A feeling-of-knowing (FOK) is a sense of knowing that an item would be recognizable if seen again later, despite one’s current inability to recall that item from memory. An FOK judgment occurs after a memory search and is ...
Using First Order Inductive Learning as an Alternative to a Simulator in a Game Artificial Intelligence
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Currently many game artificial intelligences attempt to determine their next moves by using a simulator to predict the effect of actions in the world. However, writing such a simulator is time-consuming, and the simulator ...
The importance of nitrogen fixation to the nitrogen budget of the North Atlantic Ocean
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Samples of seawater and suspended particles in the mixed layer (top 100m) were collected on Seward Johnson cruises SJ9603, SJ9612, and SJ0005 to the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Deep-water nitrate has ...
Effects of Word Replacement on Juror Perceptions and Guilt Ratings During a Criminal Trial
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-12)
This research was performed with the aim of improving the body of knowledge on juror perceptions during criminal trials. Three juries were formed of men and women at least 18 years old. The juries witnessed key excerpts ...
Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus DNA with Gold Nanorod Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Active Substrates
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful spectroscopic tool that can be used to identify and characterize compounds at low concentrations. Recent literature reports suggest that SERS may be applicable for the ...
Genetic Mechanisms of Telencephalon Diversification Through Shifts in the Pallial-Subpallial Boundary
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
The vertebrate brain develops through the formation of compartments. These compartments are physically separated to allow for the proper differentiation of each structure within the brain. The telencephalon, a compartment ...
Investigating Color as Cue to Recalling Text Location
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
This experiment compared the accuracy and latency of text location recall from color versus non-color images under five experimental conditions. Condition 1 contained images with constant color and text location. Condition ...
Coupling the Developmental Programs of Teeth and Taste Buds in Malawi Cichlids
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Epithelial tissue of vertebrate organisms serves as the interface between them and the immediate environment with which they interact. Transformation of this outer tissue layer generates specialized structures that allow ...
Utilization of Pathway Modeling to Predict Changes in Sphingolipid Content During Granulocytic Differentiation of Retinoic Acid-induced HL60 cells
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)
Genomic analyses have the potential to provide insight to metabolic pathways and biomolecules that are important in cellular processes. This study used a recently developed tool (GenMAPP v2.1, www.genmapp.org adapted for ...
