3D printed agar/ calcium alginate hydrogels with high shape fidelity and tailorable mechanical properties
(2021)In this study, calcium alginate/agar (CA/Ag) 3D structures were printed as strip assembles with high resolution and tailorable mechanical properties by a thermal-assisted 3D printing method. Specifically, alginate and agar ... -
A completed ETD paradigm: The workflow from submission to preservation at Texas Tech University
(2013-11)This paper discusses a complete ETD paradigm that has been developed at Texas Tech University over the past nine years, which includes the submission, publication, and preservation of electronic theses and dissertations. ... -
Academic librarians’ attitudes about civic- mindedness and service-learning
(University of Chicago Press, 2016-06-29)While discourse on the civic engagement of libraries as institutions is plentiful, there has been little discussion of librarians as individuals. Librarianship is more than being a trustee of information. It includes ... -
Achievement goals and intensivity of physical activity during free play in children: The moderating role of perceived sports confidence
(2015)Purpose: to examine the moderating role of sport confidence and resultant the achievement goal profile with physical activity intensity during free play. Material: participants were 28 children participating in an after-school ... -
Adaptación y validación de la escala de motivación en el deporte 2 (EMD-2) para estudiantes universitarios chilenos
(La Universidad de Murcia, 2018)Resumen: La teoría de la Autodeterminación (TAD) (Deci y Ryan, 1985) asume al ser humano como un organismo integrado en un contexto social, y a la motivación como un constructo organizado en un continuo que va de la ... -
Adapting Service Quality Concepts to Academic Libraries
(Elsevier Science, 1997-09)Some of the limitations and possibilities of the service quality model for academic libraries are discussed. The model was originally developed in a commercial environment and may require some adaptation to the noncommercial ... -
Additive effects of a steroidal implant and zilpaterol hydrochloride on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and skeletal muscle messenger ribonucleic acid abundance in finishing steers
(2010)This experiment investigated the effects of zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) and the steroidal implant Revalor-S (RS; 120 mg of trenbolone acetate and 24 mg of estradiol-17β) on finishing steer performance and the mRNA ... -
Adsorption of pyridine from aqueous solutions onto polyaluminium chloride and anionic polyacrylamide water treatment residuals
(2021)The adsorption performance of pyridine onto polyaluminium chloride (PAC) and anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) water treatment residuals (WTRs) was investigated by batch experiments. This study confirmed the assumption that ... -

Airborne eDNA Reflects Human Activity and Seasonal Changes on a Landscape Scale
(2021)Recent research on environmental DNA (eDNA), genetic material shed by organisms into their environment that can be used for sensitive and species-specific detection, has focused on the ability to collect airborne eDNA ... -
AMPKα, C/EBPβ, CPT1β, GPR43, PPARγ, and SCD Gene Expression in Single- and Co-cultured Bovine Satellite Cells and Intramuscular Preadipocytes Treated with Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic, and Linoleic Acid
(2015)We previously demonstrated that bovine subcutaneous preadipocytes promote adipogenic gene expression in muscle satellite cells in a co-culture system. Herein we hypothesize that saturated fatty acids would promote ... -
Analysis of Fracturing Pressure Data in Heterogeneous Shale Formations
(hydraulic Fracturing Journal, 2014-04)Existing techniques for the interpretation of real-time fracturing data assumes that fracture propagation is a continuous power function of time, and that fractures propagate smoothly over time. This assumption implies ... -
