The Effects of Experience with a Technology on Privacy Concerns and Disclosure of Health Information
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Although the ubiquity of technology can make many aspects of life more convenient, it may simultaneously raise concerns about the privacy of personal information. While the link between privacy, self-disclosure, and new ...
Förster Resonance Energy Transfer and Fluorescence Quenching Based Low-density Lipoprotein Probes for Visualizing Transcytosis
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Transcytosis is the process by which macromolecules are transported across a polarized cell. It is one of the main methods of nutrient absorption from the blood stream as well as the only means past the blood brain barrier. ...
Sustained Delivery of Thermally Stabilized chABC by Lipid Microtubules
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Our knowledge of spinal cord injury repair is broadening with the developing technology for nerve regeneration and drug delivery. In this paper we discuss the current capabilities for spinal cord repair as well as those ...
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. ...
[PSI+] Prion Induction within the Yeast Saccharomyces Genera
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-05-05)
Prions are self-perpetuating protein aggregates that cause neurodegenerative diseases in mammals and carry heritable traits in yeast. Yeast [PSI+] prion is the prion isoform of Sup35 protein, an essential translation ...
Development of Microsatellite Primers for Investigating Genetic Connectivity and Diversity of Scleractinian Corals
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-12-14)
We focus on the development of microsatellite loci isolated from two scleractinian coral species (Montastraea cavernosa and Porites astreoides). To analyze the genetic structure of scleractinian coral populations, it is ...
