Description: Transportation is the concept that readers become engaged when they read a story. The level of transportedness may impact the emotional response of the reader. Research shows that stories can be used to transport readers but there is a failure to identify vignettes as a viable medium. The ability of vignettes, a brief narrative without a conclusion, to transport readers is unknown. The purpose of… more

Description: Data centers are one of key components in success
of many IT companies such as Google. Cooling of
data centers has been a decade-long problem since
tremendous heat emitted from multiple racks of computing
facilities typically overwhelms the cooling
magnitude by traditional air-based cooling schemes.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness
of heat pipe-based cooling… more

Description: Over 90% of cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis. Tumor-cell derived extracellular vesicles or exosomes are thought to contribute to metastasis. However, there is no standardized method to isolate exosomes. We hypothesize that polymer-based kits, in particular ExoQuick-TC (EQTC), may be better for isolating exosomes when compared to ultracentrifugation. In this study, we used three… more
