This study of commemoration of 9/11 on the 10th anniversary is performed at the intersection of public memory and rhetorical studies. Examining the role of the individual within public memory, this study furthers both ...
Efficient Semiparametric Estimators for Biological, Genetic, and Measurement Error Applications
(2012-10-19)
Many statistical models, like measurement error models, a general class of survival models, and a mixture data model with random censoring, are semiparametric where interest lies in estimating finite-dimensional parameters ...
Lymphatic Fluid Mechanics: An In Situ and Computational Analysis of Lymph Flow
(2012-10-19)
The lymphatic system is an extensive vascular network responsible for the transport of fluid, immune cells, proteins and lipids. It is composed of thin-walled vessels, valves, nodes and ducts, which work together to collect ...
An Off-Chip Capacitor Free Low Dropout Regulator with PSR Enhancement at Higher Frequencies
(2012-02-14)
Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs) are extensively used in portable applications like mobile phones, PDAs and notebooks. These portable applications demand high power efficiency and low output voltage ripple. In addition to ...
Genetic Pore Types and Their Relationship to Reservoir Quality: Canyon Formation (Pennsylvanian), Diamond M Field, Scurry County, Texas
(2012-02-14)
Carbonate reservoirs may have a variety of porosity types created by depositional, diagenetic, and fracture processes. This leads to the formation of complex pore systems, and in turn creates heterogeneities in reservoir ...
Reservoir Characterization and Modeling of the Glorieta and the Clearfork Formations, Monahans Field, Permian Basin, Texas
(2012-10-19)
Monahans Field of the Permian Basin in West Texas is a complex carbonate reservoir due to the lateral heterogeneity caused by facies changes throughout the Lower Guadalupian Glorieta Formation and the Upper Leonardian Upper ...
An Examination of Motor Skills in Children who Stutter
(2012-10-19)
Recently, research has postulated that stuttering is a motor disorder that results from brain abnormalities within the central nervous system. Based on evidence of numerous irregularities within various motor systems, it ...
