A relational view of consumer social learning in virtual communities | Social learning is an important part of consumers' lives. A major limitation of previous research in consumer social learning is the lack of attention to the effects of relationships built among participants on the learning process in online communities. Within a thread in an online forum, when a po... | Community; Consumer engagement; Social learning; Social media; Social networks | 2014-12 | |

A reliability-based geometric design approach to freeway number of lanes decisions | For more than twenty years, the introduction of reliability-based analysis into roadway geometric design has been investigated. This type of probabilistic geometric design analysis is well suited to explicitly address the level of variability and randomness associated with design inputs when compare... | Annual average daily traffic; design hourly volume; Free flow speed, Level of service; Monte Carlo simulation; reliability | 2014-05 | |

A retrospective review of calcium channel blocker poisonings for the calendar year 1984 | Verapamil was first introduced in the early 1960's as a smooth muscle relaxant with potent vasodilator properties. Antiarrhythmic effects were demonstrated in the mid-1960's, but it V83 not until August, 1981 that the Food awl Drug Administration (FDA) approved the intravenous form of the drug for ... | 1987-03 | ||

A Role for Central Leptin Signaling in Maintaining Myocardial Fatty Acid Oxidation | Leptin is a hormone produced by adipocytes that activates centralreceptors in the brain and peripheral tissues to decrease appetite and increaseenergy expenditure. Obesity is positively correlated with circulating leptin levels,indicating a state of "leptin resistance" in obese subjects. The relativ... | 2010-12 | ||

A Role for Nicotine in Neuroprotection Against Disorders Associated With Monoaminergic and Cognitive Dysfunction | The aim of this dissertation was to investigate potential mechanisms whereby nicotine (NIC) is neuroprotective to the dopamine (DA), serotonin (5- HT), and memory systems. As early as 1939, clinical studies have indicated that tremors, or Parkinson's disease (PD), are less likely to occur among toba... | 2015-05 | ||

A sarrus-based passive mechanism for rotorcraft perching | Flying rotorcraft, such as helicopters and quadrotors, can gather useful information without the need for human presence, but they consume a great deal of power and have limited on-board energy resources. Our work aims to provide a passive perching mechanism so that a rotorcraft is able to grip bran... | Mechanism; Perching; Robotics; Rotorcraft; Sarrus | 2014-12 | |

A simple poroelastic-based algorithm for evaluating anomalous fluid pressure attributed to surface loading: case study of michigan basin glaciation | In Michigan and surrounding states, anomalous high fluid pressures at depth are attributed to Pleistocene glaciation. Specifically, surface loading of ice and glacial till is hypothesized to compact deep subsurface sediments, and low hydraulic diffusivity of those sediments may require 105 years or... | Civil engineering | 2016 | |
