A Quasi-Dynamic HVAC and Building Simulation Methodology
(2012-07-16)
This thesis introduces a quasi-dynamic building simulation methodology which complements existing building simulators by allowing transient models of HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) systems to be created ...
Design, Simulation, and Analysis of Substation Automation Networks
(2012-07-16)
Society depends on computer networks for communication. The networks were built to support and facilitate several important applications such as email, web browsing and instant messaging. Recently, there is a significant ...
Conserved and Unconventional Responses to DNA Damage in Tetrahymena
(2012-07-16)
Here the ciliate protozoa Tetrahymena thermophila was used as a model system to study the DNA damage response. Tetrahymena enclose nuclear dimorphism, a polyploid somatic macronucleus (MAC), which is transcriptionally ...
Charge Transport through Organized Organic Assemblies in Confined Geometries
(2012-07-16)
Organic molecules such as porphyrins and alkanethiols are currently being
investigated for applications such as sensors, light-emitting diodes and single electron
transistors. Porphyrins are stable, highly conjugated ...
Removing of Formation Damage and Enhancement of Formation Productivity Using Environmentally Friendly Chemicals
(2012-07-16)
Matrix acidizing is used in carbonate formations to create wormholes that connect the formation to the wellbore. Hydrochloric acid, organic acids, or mixtures of these acids are typically used in matrix acidizing treatments ...
Electronic Health Information Literacy: An Investigation of the Electronic Health Information Knowledge and Skills of Health Education Majors
(2012-07-16)
Health educators are expected to serve as resource of health knowledge and being e-health literate enable health educators to perform that function. However, the e-health literacy level of health education undergraduate ...
Impact of the National School Lunch Program on Children's Food Security
(2012-07-16)
The U.S. is the world's largest economy, accounting for about 20% of world Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With a high income and a mature welfare system, households in the U.S. should have enough food and healthy diets, ...
Assessment of Driving Mental Models as a Predictor of Crashes and Moving Violations
(2012-07-16)
The purpose of the current study was to assess the efficacy of mental models as a predictor of driving outcomes. In contrast to more traditional measures of knowledge, mental models capture the configural property of ...
Regression Model Predicting Appraised Unit Value of Land in San Francisco County from Number of and Distance to Public Transit Stops using GIS
(2012-07-16)
The objective of this study is to develop a quantifying model that predicts the appraised unit value of parcels in San Francisco County based on number of LEED-NC Public Transportation Access (PTA) qualified bus, light ...
Stabilizer Codes over Frobenius Rings
(2012-07-16)
In quantum information processing, the information is stored in the state of quantum mechanical systems. Since the interaction with the environment is unavoidable, there is a need for quantum error correction to protect ...
