Improved yttrium and zirconium abundances in metal-poor stars
(2012-01)We present new abundances of the lighter n-capture elements, Yttrium (Z=30) and Zirconium (Z=40) in the very metal-poor, r-process rich stars BD+17 3248 and HD 221170. Very accurate abundances were obtained by use of the ... -
An Improved, Bias-Reduced Probabilistic Functional Gene Network of Baker's Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Public Library of Science, 2007-10-03)Background: Probabilistic functional gene networks are powerful theoretical frameworks for integrating heterogeneous functional genomics and proteomics data into objective models of cellular systems. Such networks provide ... -

Improvement in the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs via pulmonary delivery of nanoparticles
(2009-08)High throughput screening techniques that are routinely used in modern drug discovery processes result in a higher prevalence of poorly water-soluble drugs. Such drugs often have poor bioavailability issues due to their ... -
Improvement Of A Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Equation Solver With Arbitrary Post-Collision Velocities
(2009-12)We present a discrete velocity scheme which solves the Boltzmann equation and show numerical results for homogeneous relaxation problems. Although direct simulation of the Boltzmann equation can be efficient for transient ... -
Improvement of belt tension monitoring in a belt-driven automated material handling system
(2010-08)The goal of the study presented in this thesis was the improvement of estimation and monitoring procedures for condition monitoring of belt tension and misalignment in belt-driven automated material handling systems widely ... -
Improvements and effects of thermal history on mechanical properties for polymer selective laser sintering (SLS)
(2015-08)This thesis investigates the relationship between the thermal history and mechanical properties for Nylon 12 tensile bars manufactured using Selective Laser Sintering. The thermal history is recorded using infrared imaging. ... -
Improvements and extensions of dynamic traffic assignment in transportation planning
(2013-05)A comprehensive approach is conducted to better utilize dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) in transportation planning by investigating its role in: (1) high-order functions, (2) project evaluation, and (3) traffic assignment. ... -
Improvements in phase behavior modeling for compositional simulation
(2015-05)Accurate and reliable phase equilibrium calculations are among the most important issues in compositional reservoir simulation of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes especially miscible gas floods. The important challenges ... -
Improvements to wireless, passive sensors for monitoring conditions within reinforced concrete structures
(2010-08)The corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures constitutes an alarming problem. To combat this problem, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed two, low-cost, passive, wireless ... -
Improving a management tool through the use of software architecture
(2014-08)Architecture Design for deploying or improving a tool or application is a vital step which should be neither ignored nor avoided. The architecture will provide the framework and instructions on how the tool needs to be ... -
Improving Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services Integration with Local Healthcare Networks, PRP 182
(LBJ School of Public Affairs, 2015)This Policy Research Project (PRP) analyzes how Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services (ATCEMS) could better integrate with local healthcare networks to support patient-centered, effective, out-of-hospital care. ... -
Improving capacitance and cyclability in microbial cellulose based ultracapacitors
(2011-12)Microbial Cellulose (MC) is a highly porous macromolecule with intrinsic properties that make it a useful substrate for conductive materials within ultracapacitors. MC has the potential to ... -
Improving college students’ self-knowledge through engagement in a learning frameworks course
(2016-05-18)This study tested hypotheses about the accuracy of students’ strategic learning self-assessments using a sample of students enrolled in an undergraduate learning frameworks course at a highly competitive research institution. ... -
Improving constraint-based test input generation using Korat
(2015-05)Korat is an existing technique for test input generation using imperative constraints that describe properties of desired inputs written as Java predicates, termed RepOk methods, which are executable checks for those ... -
Improving creativity performance by short-term meditation
(Behavior and Brain Funcitons, 2014-03-19)Background: One form of meditation intervention, the integrative body-mind training (IBMT) has been shown to improve attention, reduce stress and change self-reports of mood. In this paper we examine whether short-term ... -
Improving data locality of the nonsymmetric QR algorithm
(2013)The QR algorithm computes the Schur decomposition of a matrix and is the most popular algorithm for solving eigenvalue problems for dense nonsymmetric matrices. The algorithm suffers from a memory access bottleneck though. ... -
Improving differential diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction
(2014-05)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the factors historically presented in the literature to differentiate vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) from breathing difficulties of other etiologies accurately predict ... -
Improving dynamic analysis with data flow analysis
(2010-08)Many challenges in software quality can be tackled with dynamic analysis. However, these techniques are often limited in their efficiency or scalability as they are often applied uniformly to an entire program. In this ...
