Ethnopalynological applications in land and water based archaeology
(2009-05-15)
Ethnopalynology is a specialty within palynology that centers specifically on past
and present palynological data related to humans. Palynological data may be a
significant tool to archaeologists if the applications and ...
Standardization of Spanish Shipbuilding: Ordenanzas para la Fabrica de Navios de Guerra y Mercante - 1607,1613,1618
(2009-05-15)
During the first two decades of the 17th century King Philip III (1598-1621) of
Spain and Portugal launched an effort to standardize all shipbuilding in the Iberian
Peninsula. These efforts of standardization constitute ...
Instrucción Náutica (1587) by Diego García de Palacio: an early NAUTICAL handbook from Mexico.
(2009-05-15)
In 1587, an ambitious colonial bureaucrat in Mexico City published a handbook
titled Instrucción náutica. Although navigational books were common throughout the
16th century, the Instrucción náutica was the first printed ...
An evaluation of membrane materials for the treatment of highly concentrated suspended salt solutions in reverse osmosis and nanofiltration processes for desalination
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a study to enhance and improve a zero liquid discharge
(ZLD) reverse osmosis process that uses seed crystals to promote crystallization of the
dissolved salts in the residual brine while it is being ...
Structural and functional investigation of human chemokines and applications of human chemokines in blocking HIV-1 entry
(2009-05-15)
Chemokines are important mediators of leukocyte migration. Chemokines bind
to G protein–coupled receptors (GPCR) and cause conformational changes that trigger
intracellular signaling pathways involved in inflammation, ...
Clovis Lithic Debitage from Excavation Area 8 at the Gault Site (41BL323), Texas: Form and Function
(2010-07-14)
This dissertation focuses on two portions of the Clovis lithic assemblage recovered from
Excavation Area 8 at the Gault site (41BL323) located in central Texas. Gault is a
quarry-camp visited by hunter-gatherer groups for ...
Study of Impact of Orbit Path, Whirl Ratio and Clearance on the Flow Field and Rotordynamic Coefficients for a Smooth Annular Seal
(2010-10-12)
The study of the effect of different orbit paths and whirl ratios on the
rotordynamic coefficients of a smooth eccentric annular seal, using Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) was performed. The flow was simulated for two ...
Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy [RICS] Analysis of HeLa cells
(2011-02-22)
The objective of the project is to use the RICS analysis technique in complement with
confocal microscopy to determine the diffusion coefficient of the selectively labeled
green fluorescent protein (GFP), GFP-EGFR and ...
Combined effects of Reynolds number, turbulence intensity and periodic unsteady wake flow conditions on boundary layer development and heat transfer of a low pressure turbine blade
(2009-05-15)
Detailed experimental investigation has been conducted to provide a detailed insight
into the heat transfer and aerodynamic behavior of a separation zone that is generated as a
result of boundary layer development along ...
Estimating forest structural characteristics with airborne lidar scanning and a near-real time profiling laser systems
(2009-05-15)
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) directly measures canopy vertical
structures, and provides an effective remote sensing solution to accurate and spatiallyexplicit
mapping of forest characteristics, such as canopy height ...
