Development of a Nutritional Model to Predict Digestible Energy Requirements of Broodmares based on Body Condition Changes
(2011-05-04)
Nutritional models have been developed for beef and dairy cattle to estimate energy balance based on changes in body condition score. These models have not been developed or fully evaluated in horses to date. The objective ...
Low-cost Rigid-frame Exoskeleton Glove with Finger-joint Flexion Tracking Mapped onto a Robotic Hand
(2015-04-30)
This thesis provides a representation of a low-cost rigid-frame exoskeleton glove that is used to track finger-joint flexion mapped onto a robotic hand to mimic user movements. The overall setup consists of an exoskeleton ...
Nonlinear Aeroelastic Coupled Trim Modeling Of Cycloidal Rotor Based Micro Air Vehicle
(2019-07-23)
Present generation of hover-capable micro air vehicles (MAVs) based on conventional rotors have shown poor performance in terms of endurance (<15 minutes), agility, and disturbance-rejection capability. Developing next ...
Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Anion-pi Interactions Metallacyclic Architectures of First-Row Transition Metals and N-Heteroaromatic Ligands
(2012-07-16)
Research into anion-pi interactions has shifted from attempts to establish the legitimacy of the interaction to the incorporation of anion-pi interactions into supramolecular architectures. The research discussed in this ...
The Synergistic Leadership Theory as it Applies to Leadership Behaviors of Female Principals at Suburban High Schools and the Collective Efficacy of their Teachers: A Case Study
(2016-06-28)
The purpose of this study was to apply the Synergistic Leadership Theory (SLT)
as a framework to identify specific leadership behaviors of four female principals at four
suburban high schools in the state of Texas that are ...
Bacteriophages As a Biocontrol Measure against Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli on Cattle Hides and Red Meat
(2018-07-27)
Some bacteria are of importance in food production, harvest, and processing because they can have undesirable effects on a food, resulting in spoilage or deterioration. Human disease-causing bacteria associated with food ...
Fluid Migration During Ice/Rock Planetesimal Differentiation
(2012-12-12)
Much speculation on extraterrestrial life has focused on finding environments where water is present. Heating of smaller icy bodies may create and sustain a possible liquid layer below the surface. If liquid water was ...
Study of the Corrosion Resistance of Benchmark Coatings Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
(2015-04-28)
The corrosion resistance of polymer-coated carbon steel exposed to corrosive environment of 3.5% NaCl solution (weight fraction) at ambient conditions was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) ...
Phylogeographic Patterns of Tylos (Isopoda: Oniscidea) in the Pacific Region Between Southern California and Central Mexico, and Mitochondrial Phylogeny of the Genus
(2012-08-17)
Isopods in the genus Tylos are distributed in tropical and subtropical sandy intertidal beaches throughout the world. These isopods have biological characteristics that are expected to severely restrict their long-distance ...
Effects of Water Content and Alumino-Silicate Sources on the Structure and Properties of Geopolymers
(2012-10-19)
Geopolymers (GPs) are a special class of inorganic polymers with unique properties. Their 3-D amorphous structure and properties are often attributed to SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratios. However; contradictory results reported in ...
