Flavin Amine Oxidases from the Monoamine Oxidase Structural Family Utilize a Hydride Transfer Mechanism
(2011-08-08)
The amine oxidase family of enzymes has been the center of numerous
mechanistic studies because of the medical relevance of the reactions they catalyze. This
study describes transient and steady-state kinetic analyses of ...
A Digital Library Approach to the Reconstruction of Ancient Sunken Ships
(2011-10-21)
Throughout the ages, countless shipwrecks have left behind a rich historical and
technological legacy. In this context, nautical archaeologists study the remains of these
boats and ships and the cultures that created and ...
Non-Mimetic Simulation Games: Teaching Team Coordination from a Grounding in Practice
(2011-10-21)
Fire emergency responders work in teams where they must communicate and
coordinate to save lives and property, yet contemporary emergency response training
expends few resources teaching team coordination. The present ...
Scaling Characteristics of Soil Hydraulic Parameters at Varying Spatial Resolutions
(2011-08-08)
This dissertation focuses on the challenge of soil hydraulic parameter scaling in soil hydrology and related applications in general; and, in particular, the upscaling of these parameters to provide effective values at ...
High Temperature Materials for Aerospace Applications
(2011-08-08)
Further crosslinking of the fluorinated polyimide was examined to separate the
cure reactions from degradation and to determine the optimum post curing conditions.
Glass transition/melting temperatures were ascertained ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Iso-Reticular Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Applications for Gas Separations
(2011-10-21)
Nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous
interest due to their potential applications in gas-storage, gas separation, gas sensing, and
catalysis. MOFs consist of metal-oxygen polyhedera ...
Numerical Investigation of Flow Fields and Forces for 2-D Squeeze Film Dampers
(2011-08-08)
A numerical method is used to predict flow fields and forces for squeeze film dampers (SFDs). A two dimensional SFD is modeled with different amplitudes and frequencies of the journal orbiting inside the wall. In addition ...
