Nanocomposite Membranes for Complex Separations
(2010-10-12)
Over the past few decades there has been great interest in exploring alternatives to conventional separation methods due to their high cost and energy requirements. Membranes offer a potentially attractive alternative as ...
Fostering Innovative Capacity via Organizational Reward Systems: The Case of Faculty Collaboration
(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this study is to reveal, through the use of case study methodology, how
faculty collaboration may foster the development of intellectual capital and how organizational
reward systems mediate this process. ...
Spectroscopic Investigations of Selected Cyclic and Bicyclic Molecules
(2010-10-12)
Several cyclic molecules along with two bicyclic molecules were investigated
using infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet (UV) absorption, fluorescence excitation (FES),
and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) ...
Extraction of Spin Polarization of Bulk and Measurement of Transport Properties of Thin GdxSi1-x Near the Metal-Insulator Transition
(2010-07-14)
Since the early 1960s, Abrikosov-Gorkov theory has been used to describe superconductors with paramagnetic impurities. Interestingly, the density of states resulting from the theoretical framework has to date only been ...
THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRON BEAM IRRADIATION AND SANITIZERS IN THE REDUCTION OF PATHOGENS AND ATTACHMENT PREVENTION ON SPINACH
(2010-07-14)
The effects of electron beam (e-beam) irradiation and sanitizers in the reduction
of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella counts and attachment prevention on
spinach was studied. Survival of these pathogens in spinach ...
Strategic Surveillance System Design for Ports and Waterways
(2010-07-14)
The purpose of this dissertation is to synthesize a methodology to prescribe a
strategic design of a surveillance system to provide the required level of surveillance for

INTERSPECIFIC AND INTRASPECIFIC COMPETITION OF COMMON SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) IN FIELD CORN (ZEA MAYS L.)
(2010-07-14)
Common sunflower is a competitive annual native dicot found in disturbed areas, on roadsides, dry prairies, and in row crops. Common sunflower is a competitive weed, but little data exist on interference, economic impacts, ...
NANOFLUIDIC SINGLE MOLECULE DETECTION (SMD) FOR PROTEIN DETECTION AND INTERACTION DYNAMICS STUDY
(2010-07-14)
The objective of this work is to develop a micro/nanofluidic-based single molecule detection (SMD) scheme, which would allow us to inspect individual protein or protein complex study protein-protein interactions and their ...
Bigger Eyes in a Wider Universe: The American Understanding of Earth in Outer Space, 1893-1941.
(2010-07-14)
Between 1893 and 1941, the understanding of the Milky Way galaxy within the
American culture changed from a sphere to a spiral and Earth's location within it changed
from the center to the periphery. These changes were ...
