In vivo infection biology of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia
(2009-05-15)
Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides
mycoides small colony (MmmSC), is a devastating respiratory disease of cattle in Africa,
Asia and the Middle East. Little investigation has been done ...
Municipal performance: does mayoral quality matter?
(2009-05-15)
This research addresses the question of what explains municipal performance in
terms of delivering social services and fiscal performance. While the existing literature
explains governmental performance with political, ...

This record of study documents the experience acquired during my internship at Sonus
Networks, Inc. for the Doctor of Engineering Program.
In this record of study, I have surveyed and analyzed the current standardization
status ...
Seasonal analysis of abiotic factors impacting phytoplankton assemblages in Offatts Bayou, Galveston, Texas
(2009-05-15)
The aim of this investigation in Offatts Bayou was to quantify natural shifts in
distributions and abundances of algal groups and to examine spatio-temporal patterns of
abiotic and biotic characteristics in the water column ...
Synthesis, characterization, anion complexation and electrochemistry of cationic Lewis acids
(2009-05-15)
Owing to the favored Coulombic attraction between the ammonium group and
anion which stabilizes the B-F/B-CN bond against heterolysis, cationic borane [25]+ has
great affinity toward anions than its neutral analog, and is ...
Performance analysis of fault-tolerant nanoelectronic memories
(2009-05-15)
Performance growth in microelectronics, as described by Moore’s law, is steadily
approaching its limits. Nanoscale technologies are increasingly being explored as a
practical solution to sustaining and possibly surpassing ...
Control of new follicular wave emergence and rate of follicular maturation in bos indicus-influenced cattle with estradiol benzoate, temporary calf removal and progesterone
(2009-05-15)
Objectives were to determine: 1) whether estradiol benzoate (EB) provides a superior alternative to GnRH for synchronizing emergence, growth and maturation of a new follicular wave for fixed timed AI (TAI) in Bos ...
Global performance analysis of floating harbor and container ship for loading and offloading operation
(2009-05-15)
The feasibility and general performance of a floating harbor system is studied with regard to the
relative motion of a floating quay and a container ship. A 350[m]× 160[m] box-type barge is
selected as the floating harbor ...
Spin hall effect in paramagnetic thin films
(2009-05-15)
Spintronics, an abbreviation of spin based electronics and also known as
magneto electronics, has attracted a lot of interest in recent years. It aims to explore the
role of electrons’ spins in building next generation ...
Role of AI-2 in oral biofilm formation using microfluidic devices
(2009-05-15)
Biofilms are highly organized bacterial structures that are attached to a surface.
They are ubiquitous in nature and may be detrimental, causing numerous types of
illnesses in living organisms. Biofilms in the human oral ...
