Valuing Place through Resources: Incorporating Multi-dimensional Values in Decision Processes
(2012-07-16)
Including values for non-market natural and cultural resources in decision processes present challenges to resource managers. This dissertation uses a place-based resource-driven approach to assess the values associated ...
The Recycling Intentions of Sport Spectators: A Theory of Planned Behavior Approach
(2012-07-16)
Sport organizations have a negative impact on the environment but these
organizations have begun environmental initiatives to decrease their impact. Introducing
recycling programs not only offers visible environmental ...
An Investigation of the Utilization of Smart Meter Data to Adapt Overcurrent Protection for Radial Distribution Systems with a High Penetration of Distributed Generation
(2012-07-16)
The future of electric power distribution systems (DSs) is one that incorporates extensive amounts of advanced metering, distribution automation, and distributed generation technologies. Most DSs were designed to be radial ...
The Venetian Galley of Flanders: From Medieval (2-Dimensional) Treatises to 21st Century (3-Dimensional) Model
(2012-07-16)
Nautical archaeologists and scholars often try to recreate how ships were built and maneuvered. Due to the delicate nature of older wooden vessels, there is often little archaeological evidence remaining to aid in these ...
Circulation of North American epicontinental seas during the Carboniferous using stable isotope and trace element analyses of brachiopod shells
(2012-07-16)
Previous studies have identified δ¹³C events in the Carboniferous that imply major shifts in the carbon cycle. However, inherent in this interpretation is the assumption that epicontinental seas are chemically representative ...
Role of an Equine Homologue of Gonadotropin-Inhibiting Hormone in Controlling Sectretion of Luteinizing Hormone in the Mare
(2012-07-16)
Four experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that RF-amide related peptide 3 (RFRP3) negatively regulate the secretion of LH in mares. In Exp. 1, mares received native gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) ...
Study of Adsorption of Methanol in an Activated Carbon and Carbon Nanotube Matrix for Use in a Solar Based Refrigeration Cycle
(2012-07-16)
This thesis seeks to investigate the adsorption capabilities of activated carbon and carbon nanotubes. The adsorption of methanol on both of these substances was tested for their application in a solar based refrigeration ...
Modeling The NOx Emissions In A Low NOx Burner While Fired With Pulverized Coal And Dairy Biomass Blends
(2012-07-16)
New regulations like the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) will pose greater challenges for Coal fired power plants with regards to pollution reduction. These new regulations plan to impose stricter limits on NOX reduction. ...
Acid Placement in Acid Jetting Treatments in Long Horizontal Wells
(2012-07-16)
In the Middle East, extended reach horizontal wells (on the order of 25,000 feet of horizontal displacement) are commonly acid stimulated by jetting acid out of drill pipe. The acid is jetted onto the face of the openhole ...
Poliheuristic Theory and Alliance Dependence: Understanding Military Coalitions
(2012-07-16)
This dissertation examines an increasingly common phenomenon in the post-Cold War context, the military coalition. At the heart of the dissertation is thus the question: what explains political leaders’ participation and ...
