  • Alternate Methods for the Extraction and Measurement of Pore Solution in Fresh Concrete

    Creator:
    Biever, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of the pore solution composition and pore solution resistivity can be helpful for determining the durability of concrete structures. Most notably, pore solution resistivity can be used in the calculation of the formation factor of concrete, which is a ratio of the electrical resistivities of concrete and its pore...

  • Boosting Intracellular Delivery of mRNA Therapeutics

    Creator:
    Patel, Siddharth D.
    Abstract:
    Intracellular delivery of mRNA holds great potential for vaccine and therapeutic discovery and development. This is realized by the preeminent role mRNA is playing in the record-breaking pace of SARS-CoV-19 vaccine development. Recent advances in chemical modifications of mRNA have enabled high-efficiency gene expression with superior spatiotemporal control while eliminating...

  • Just a tool after all? No evidence for tool-use effects on the body representation across virtual and real environments

    Creator:
    Bell, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    While human tool-use proficiency helped define our history, the cognitive and perceptual mechanics of how humans use tools are not fully understood. This question is of great value to the design of hand-held tools and prosthetics. A prominent theory, tool embodiment, suggests that tool use is facilitated by a flexible...
