Aim to facilitate the production of the treatment by optimizing reproducibility and minimizing cost. Tasks: Find cost/time effective way to reach end product, Perfecting technique to increase yield, Adjusting known procedure when necessary, Molecule compliant with drug-like properties (Lipiphilic, Ingestible, Long half-life)
Humans are unique in their ability to think abstractly (e.g. using language, learning relations). Previous work from our lab has shown that infants can learn simple abstract relations, like whether two objects are the “same” or “different”. In this study, we investigated flexibility in early learning. Our question was whether...
Which areas of Chicago have greater concentrations of lead in their water and is that associated with environmental racism? Since Chicago is racially segregated, the marginalized areas such as the south side and west side are more likely to contain high levels of lead.
Neuroscience research has made many important contributions to the study of the brain and behavior. Perhaps because of these contributions the general public seems to be easily seduced by neuroscientific explanations. Meaning that when a scientific article is paired with a brain image, the information within the article is automatically...
A study is conducted to determine the effects on the early hydration kinetics and
compressive strength by seeding of Portland cement and alkali-activated blast furnace
slag with a pure form of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H). The effects of C-S-H seeding
during the early nucleation and growth period of each type...
The segmental prestressed concrete box girder of Koror-Babeldaob (KB) Bridge in Palau, which had the record span of 241 m (791 ft.), presents a striking paradigm of serviceability loss due to excessive multi-decade deflections. The data required for analysis have recently been released and are here exploited to show how...
