Continuous fermentation of food scraps with constant pH control to produce carboxylic acids
(2009-05-15)
Global energy demands combined with environmental restrictions are fueling a
move to alternative energy sources. Biofuels are formed from biomass; the MixAlco
process is one such method. In this work, food scraps are ...
Synthesis and characterization of patterned surfaces and catalytically relevant binary nanocrystalline intermetallic compounds
(2009-05-15)
As devices and new technologies continue to shrink, nanocrystalline multi-metal
compounds are becoming increasingly important for high efficiency and
multifunctionality. However, synthetic methods to make desirable ...
Design and implementation of a sub-threshold wireless BFSK transmitter
(2009-05-15)
Power Consumption in VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) circuits is currently a
major issue in the semiconductor industry. Power is a first order design constraint in many
applications. Several of these applications need ...
Multi-writer consistency conditions for shared memory objects
(2009-05-15)
Regularity is a shared memory consistency condition that has received considerable attention, notably in connection with quorum-based shared memory. Lamport's
original definition of regularity assumed a single-writer model, ...
Tacticity control of polypropylene using a C2-symmetric family of catalysts
(2009-05-15)
A family of C2-symmetric catalysts was designed and synthesized with the
intent to polymerize propylene. The catalyst was designed to be C2-symmetric for the
specific goal that the catalyst would have two identical sites ...
Fluorometric sedimentation equilibrium for lipoprotein sub-class analysis.
(2009-05-15)
Fluorometric density gradient ultracentrifugation is used to measure the
lipoprotein density profile for cardiovascular disease risk assessment. The work
presented establishes the effectiveness of using a single-spin ...
Physical sectioning in 3D biological microscopy
(2009-05-15)
Our ability to analyze the microstructure of biological tissue in three dimensions
(3D) has proven invaluable in modeling its functionality, and therefore providing a better
understanding of the basic mechanisms of life. ...
Sustainable Water Supply: Rainwater Harvesting for Multistoried Residential Apartments in Dhaka, Bangladesh
(2009-05-15)
Rainwater harvesting is a familiar term for Bangladesh. People in areas that lack drinking
water, particularly the coastal areas and the rural areas in the country, practice rain water
harvesting. The high annual rainfall ...
Truman, Congress and the struggle for war and peace in Korea
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and
Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence
from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, ...
Performance and power optimization in VLSI physical design
(2009-05-15)
As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, a great amount of efforts have
been made to reduce interconnect delay. Among them, buffer insertion stands out
as an effective technique for timing optimization. A dramatic ...
