Higher biocompatibility and corrosion resistant biomaterials are more frequently being test-implanted for a wide range of purposes. However, surgery-related infection and implant microbe-colonization is generally the most common complication. When bac . . .

The objective of this study was to determine the performance of goat kids fed sorghum sudangrass/pearl millet mixed with legumes. Twenty goat kids (bodyweight 25.5 +/- 5.1 kg) were randomly assigned to four treatments (5 kids per treatment). The treat . . .

Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used as implants in the human body. This is because of their advantageous mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The alloy that is most commonly used is Ti-6Al-4V which is a titanium-b . . .

Butanol is a gasoline substitute and naturally derived, making the production of butanol of increasing importance. Butanol is produced through acetone, butanol, ethanol (ABE) fermentation pathway in some bacteria, including the Clostridium species. Be . . .

Biodegradable polymers degrade once exposed to suitable environmental conditions. Using Biodegradable polymers as packing material would decrease the amount of plastic waste causing land pollution, for example: Plastic waste led to the formation of th . . .

Gecko-like synthetic adhesives (GSAs) are dry adhesives that replicate the function of gecko toepads through their microscopic fibrillar structure. To produce GSA molds, we fabricated Si templates using microsphere lithography. We formed a monolayer o . . .

There are many different motivations for people to travel. Researchers have found that 75% of leisure travelers have been motivated to visit a destination because of local food or beverage. As tea drinking habits and tea cultures are transmitted world . . .

Environmental and husbandry changes can create stress in horses, these can manifest themselves in illness, poor development and altered gestation. The Cal Poly Pomona campus has undergone a period of change over the past 5 years and 2016-2017 has had . . .

Metabolomics is the study of the biochemical processes in an organism and how those processes are affected by biotic or abiotic stress. Understanding these mechanisms enables a broader view of how stress affects various biological systems and how the . . .

Electroencephalography (EEG) has been researched as a potential biometric for almost two decades. The most promising techniques to obtain reliable authentication credentials have been the use of evoked potentials, or the process of measuring the chang . . .
