An Analysis of the Impact of Flexible Coupling Misalignment on Rotordynamics
(2011-10-21)
Misalignment in turbomachinery has been commonly known to produce twotimes-
running-speed (2N) response. This project aimed to investigate the source of the
2N vibration response seen in misaligned vibrating machinery ...
Dosimetry of Y-90 Liquid Brachytherapy in a Dog with Osteosarcoma Using PET/CT
(2011-08-08)
A novel Y-90 liquid brachytherapy strategy is currently being studied for the treatment of osteosarcoma using a preclinical translational model in dogs to assess its
potential efficacy and toxicity. In this study, dosimetry ...
Changes in Native Aquatic Vegetation, Associated Fish Assemblages, and Food Habits of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) Following the Addition of Triploid Grass Carp to Manage Hydrilla (Hydrilla Verticillata) in Lake Conroe, TX
(2011-10-21)
Nuisance aquatic vegetation (mainly Hydrilla Verticillata ) has become problematic in Lake Conroe, TX. Consequently, triploid grass carp (Ctenopharynogodon idella) were stocked at densities sufficient to completely denude ...
Reduced Order Structural Modeling of Wind Turbine Blades
(2011-10-21)
Conventional three dimensional structural analysis methods prove to be expensive for the preliminary design of wind turbine blades. However, wind turbine blades are large slender members with complex cross sections. They ...
Quality and Sensory Attributes of Shell Eggs Sanitized with a Combination of Hydrogen Peroxide and Ultraviolet Light
(2011-10-21)
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ultraviolet light (UV) as an alternative eggshell sanitization procedure for shell egg processing. In each experiment, two cases ...
Bull-switching in African Bovid Herds: Assessing Best Practices for Breeding Management in Waterbuck
(2011-10-21)
To implement sustainable ex-situ management of big ungulate herds such as African Waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus), one strategy is to place a vasectomized male with females during the sub-optimal season for breeding and ...
Search for Heavy Resonances Decaying to Taus in 7 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
(2011-10-21)
Over the last few decades, the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been used as a means of understanding the world around us. However, there is an
increasing amount of data that suggests the SM of particle physics ...
Urban Residents' Perceptions About The City of Austin's Wildlands
(2011-10-21)
Increasing resettlement in and around Austin, decrease in water discharge rates
and loss of endangered species habitat led to the creation of the City of Austin wildlands.
The study consisted of a mail survey of 1,000 ...
Energy Restriction Effects on Estrogen Status and the Skeletal Response to Loading
(2011-10-21)
Moderate energy restriction in young, exercising women attenuates the positive
effects of exercise on bone density. Studies have shown that in the absence of adequate
levels of circulating estrogen, there may not be ...
Second Level Cluster Dependencies: A Comparison of Modeling Software and Missing Data Techniques
(2011-10-21)
Dependencies in multilevel models at the second level have never been thoroughly examined. For certain designs first-level subjects are independent over time, but the second level subjects may exhibit nonzero covariances ...
