Cornea Microstructural and Mechanical Response Measured using Nonlinear Optical and Optical Coherence Microscopy with Sub-10-femtosecond Pulses
(2011-08-08)
A detailed understanding of the corneal biomechanical response is an important
prerequisite to understanding corneal diseases such as keratoconus and for placing the
empirical equations used in refractive surgery on a ...
The Exploratory Dyad that Plays Together Stays Together: Parent Play, Attachment, and Non-obvious Object Properties
(2011-08-08)
Many developmental changes occur across the first year of life, including areas of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. One challenge of developmental research is to understand the complex set of factors that ...

(2011-10-21)
The purpose of this study was to identify educators' beliefs indicating the most preferred support for students with disabilities in the general education classroom setting. This study examined professional educators' ...
RAPID 3D TRACING OF THE MOUSE BRAIN NEUROVASCULATURE WITH LOCAL MAXIMUM INTENSITY PROJECTION AND MOVING WINDOWS
(2011-10-21)
Neurovascular models have played an important role in understanding neuronal function or medical conditions. In the past few decades, only small volumes of
neurovascular data have been available. However, huge data sets ...
Questioning the Meaning of Authenticity in Martin Heidegger's Being and Time
(2011-10-21)
The purpose of this thesis is to clarify the meaning of authenticity in Martin Heidegger's Being and Time. This is done first by situating the meaning of authenticity within the project as a whole, second through an exegesis ...
Finite Element Analysis of Ballistic Penetration of Plain Weave Twaron CT709® Fabrics: A Parametric Study
(2011-10-21)
The ballistic impact of Twaron CT709® plain weave fabrics is studied using an explicit finite element method. Many existing approximations pertaining to woven fabrics cannot adequately represent strain rate-dependent ...
Structural and Aerodynamic Interaction Computational Tool for Highly Reconfigurable Wings
(2011-10-21)
Morphing air vehicles enable more efficient and capable multi-role aircraft by adapting their shape to reach an ideal configuration in an ever-changing environment. Morphing capability is envisioned to have a profound ...
Removal of Filter Cake Generated by Manganese Tetraoxide Water-based Drilling Fluids
(2011-10-21)
Three effective solutions to dissolve the filter cake created by water-based drilling fluids weighted with Mn3O4 particles were developed. Hydrochloric acid at concentration lower than 5 wt% can dissolve most of Mn3O4-based ...
Standardization and Application of Spectrophotometric Method for Reductive Capacity Measurement of Nanomaterials
(2011-10-21)
In this study, a reproducible spectrophotometric method was established and
applied to measure reductive capacity of various nanomaterials. Reductive capacity had
been implicated in the toxicity of nanomaterials, but a ...
Priority Based Switch Allocator in Adaptive Physical Channel Regulator for On Chip Interconnects
(2014-08-04)
Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are now popular design paradigm for microprocessors due to their power, performance and complexity advantages where a number of relatively simple cores are integrated on a single die. On chip ...
