Measurement of the 58Ni(α, γ) 62Zn reaction and its astrophysical impact
(2014-05-16)
Cross section measurements of the 58Ni(α,γ)62Zn reaction were performed in the energy range Eα=5.5to9.5 MeV at the Nuclear Science Laboratory of the University of Notre Dame, using the NSCL Summing NaI(Tl) detector and the ...
Particle Image Velocimetry Measurement and Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulations of the Unsteady Flow within a Rotating Disk Cavity
(2014-05-16)
In this article a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the unsteady mixing flow of the ingestion gas and rim sealing air inside a rotating disk cavity was carried out. A new test rig was set up, and the ...

Microencapsulation of a synbiotic into PLGA/alginate multiparticulate gels
(2014-05-15)
Probiotic bacteria have gained popularity as a defence against disorders of the bowel. However, the acid sensitivity of these cells results in a loss of viability during gastric passage and, consequently, a loss of efficacy. ...
Prospecting in ultracool dwarfs : Measuring the metallicities of mid- and late-m dwarfs
(2014-05-14)
Metallicity is a fundamental parameter that contributes to the physical characteristics of a star. The low temperatures and complex molecules present in M dwarf atmospheres make it difficult to measure their metallicities ...
Arousal regulation and affective adaptation to human responsiveness by a robot that explores and learns a novel environment
(2014-05-14)
In the context of our work in developmental robotics regarding robot-human caregiver interactions, in this paper we investigate how a "baby" robot that explores and learns novel environments can adapt its affective regulatory ...
Identifying integrated options for agricultural climate change mitigation
(2014-05-13)
Purpose: In order to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions it is essential that all industry sectors have the appropriate knowledge and tools to contribute. This includes agriculture, which is considered to ...
Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin mutant Y30A-Y196A as a recombinant vaccine candidate against enterotoxemia
(2014-05-13)
Epsilon toxin (Etx) is a β-pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens toxinotypes B and D and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of enterotoxemia, a severe, often fatal disease of ruminants that causes ...
