Development of a Reaction Signature for Combined Concrete Materials
(2010-07-14)
Although concrete is widely considered a very durable material, if conditions are such, it
can be vulnerable to deterioration and early distress development. Alkali-Silica Reaction
(ASR) is a major durability problem in ...
Chemical Characterization, Bioactive Properties, and Pigment Stability of Polyphenolics in Açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.)
(2010-07-14)
Phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, pigment stability, bioactive
properties, and in-vitro absorption of polyphenolics in acai fruit (Euterpe oleracea
Mart.) were investigated. Detailed characterization of ...
MECHANISM OF OXYGEN ACTIVATION AND HYDROXYLATION BY THE AROMATIC AMINO ACID HYDROXYLASES
(2010-07-14)
The aromatic amino acid hydroxylases phenylalanine hydroxylase (PheH),
tyrosine hydroxylase (TyrH) and tryptophan hydroxylase (TrpH) utilize tetrahydropterin
and molecular oxygen to catalyze aromatic hydroxylation. All ...
STUDY OF GENE SILENCING IN RICE: A ROOT PREFERENTIAL GENE RCG2
(2010-07-14)
The RCg2 promoter was identified in a search for root-specific genes to combat the rice water weevil (RWW) but expressed at low frequency (~10%). Spatial expression of RCg2 was investigated using two reporter constructs ...
WIND-DRIVEN NEAR INERTIAL OCEAN RESPONSE AND MIXING AT THE CRITICAL LATITUDE
(2010-07-14)
The spatial structure and temporal evolution of sea breeze and the latitudinal
distribution of propagation and mixing of sea breeze driven near-inertial ocean response
in the Gulf of Mexico are investigated using comprehensive ...
NANOMATERIALS TO BIOSENSORS: A BENCH-TOP RAPID PROTOTYPING APPROACH
(2010-07-14)
Nanofabrication has received substantial interest from scientists and engineers because of its potential applications in many fields. This was because nanoscale structures have unique properties that cannot be observed or ...
ADULT ATTACHMENT AND EXPLORATION: THE EFFECT OF ATTACHMENT STYLE ON THE EXPERIENCE OF EXPLORATION
(2010-07-14)
According to attachment theory a key moderator in the enjoyment of exploration
is the strength of a person's secure base. To study exploration we placed participants in a
situation in which they confronted a novel stimulus. ...
Sensorless Speed Control of Permanent Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMa-SynRM)
(2011-02-22)
An interesting alternative for today's high efficiency variable speed drives is the Permanent Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor drive, which belongs to the family of brushless synchronous AC motor drives. ...
Learning and Transfer in a Complex Professional Development Setting: A Cross-Case Analysis of the Perceptions and Practices of Science Teachers
(2010-07-14)
In this dissertation the relationships among teachers' classroom contexts,
teaching practices, personal practice theories and their learning from reform-based
professional development were examined. This study is based on ...
Architecture in the era of terror: Design and perception of security in two societies
(2010-07-14)
This dissertation falls in the realm of environmental behavior and focuses on the
role of the built environment in influencing responses to threats to personal security
associated with terrorism. The research integrates ...
