Assessing and Investigating Migration-Morbidity Among Children of Mexican Origin and Mexican American Mothers
(2011-10-21)
The migration morbidity hypothesis suggests that stress events inherent in immigration contribute to an increase in psychopathology. Assessing and investigating migration-morbidity among children of Mexican origin and ...
The Impact of Integrated Humor on Memory Retention and Recall Aspects of Adult Learning
(2011-10-21)
The present study tested the hypothesis that humor directly integrated with targeted material positively impacts memory retention and recall. The rationale underlying the hypothesis is based on findings of neurological ...
Social Stress Sensitizes Theiler's Virus-induced Cytokine Expresssion
(2011-10-21)
Our laboratory has previously shown that exposure to social disruption (SDR) the week prior to Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection exacerbates disease course, resulting in increased infection-related ...
Injection Timing Effects on Brake Fuel Conversion Efficiency and Engine System's Respones
(2011-10-21)
Societal concerns on combustion-based fuel consumption are ever-increasing. With respect to internal combustion engines, this translates to a need to increase brake fuel conversion efficiency (BFCE). Diesel engines are a ...
A Radiation Tolerant Phase Locked Loop Design for Digital Electronics
(2011-10-21)
With decreasing feature sizes, lowered supply voltages and increasing operating frequencies,
the radiation tolerance of digital circuits is becoming an increasingly important
problem. Many radiation hardening techniques ...
Evaluation of Probabilistic Early Response TCP (PERT) for Video Delivery and Extension with ACK Coalescing
(2011-10-21)
This thesis demonstrates the performance of Probabilistic Early Response TCP (PERT), a new TCP congestion control, for video streaming. As a delay based protocol, it measures the delay at the end host and adjusts the ...
Experimentally Determine the Impact of Jacking-Oil Pockets on the Rotordynamic Characteristics of a Four-Pad, LBP, Tilting-Pad Journal Bearing
(2015-04-29)
Test results that examine the influence of jacking-oil ports on a tilting pad journal (TPJ) bearing are presented. The static and dynamic characteristics before and after adding jacking-oil ports are compared. The test ...

Coffee Rust (Hemileia vastatrix) Effects on the Food Security and Livelihoods of Smallholder Coffee Farmers in Guatemala’s Boca Costa Region
(2015-05-08)
The purpose of this study was to develop a framework to understand how coping mechanisms and livelihood diversification strategies were used to mitigate the coffee leaf rust’s (CLR) effects on the food security and livelihoods ...
The Bioorganometallic Chemistry of Iron and the Diatomic Ligands CO and NO as Related to Hydrogenase Active Sites and Dinitrosyl Iron Complexes
(2014-08-20)
The discovery of a diiron organometallic active site, found in the [FeFe]-Hydrogenase (H2ase) enzyme, has led to a revisiting of the classic organometallic chemistry involving the Fe-Fe bond and bridging ligands. This ...
