Role of Nck adaptors in the regulation of endothelial cell-cell adhesion
(2011-08-08)
The establishment of endothelial cell-cell contacts is critical for the development and maintenance of the vascular network. Endothelial cell adherens junctions (AJ) are cell-cell adhesion complexes consisting of clusters ...
The Constitutional Origins of the President's Foreign Affairs Power
(2011-08-08)
The question of the executive’s authority over foreign affairs has been debated constantly over the life of the Constitution. Rather than try to discern the answer to this question from only the well-known Framers, this ...
A 3rd-order Continuous-Time Low-Pass Sigma-Delta Analog-to-Digital Converter for Wideband Applications
(2011-08-08)
This thesis presents the design of a 20 MHz bandwidth 3rd-order continuous-time low-pass sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter with low-noise and low-power consumption using TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The bandwidth ...
The Near-infrared Period-luminosity Relations of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(2011-08-08)
We present near-infrared (J & Ks) observations of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The goals of these observations are to better characterize the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation at these wavelengths, especially ...
APPLYING ADJUDICATION AS AN ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES IN THE UNITED STATES
(2011-08-08)
This research will look at the possibility of applying the English system of Adjudication as an alternate dispute resolution technique (ADR) in the United States Construction Industry. I focused on Construction law ...
Climate Change Assessment for Urban Water Resource Availability
(2011-08-08)
In the past two decades, scientific evidence has predicted a significant change in the earth’s climatic atmosphere. Although there are many studies that demonstrate changes in the atmospheric temperatures, there are few ...
URANIUM METAL POWDER PRODUCTION, PARTICLE DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS, AND REACTION RATE STUDIES OF A HYDRIDE-DEHYDRIDE PROCESS
(2011-08-08)
Work was done to study a hydride-dehydride method for producing uranium metal powder. Particle distribution analysis was conducted using digital microscopy and grayscale image analysis software. The particle size was found ...
Exploration, Communication, Continuation: Building an Interpretation in Translation, with an Introduction to Ad Theory
(2011-08-08)
Translation has often been ignored or dismissed as an unimportant and theoretically impossible field. Scholars have proposed numerous theories attempting to explain, illustrate, and ultimately understand the process of ...
Excitation and Far field Spectroscopy of surface plasmons in Gold nanostructures
(2011-08-08)
The properties of surface plasmons (SPs) and their excitation by a light wave are considered. The interaction of light with a metal nanostructure resulted in transmission, reflection and diffraction of light. The spectra ...
POST OAK SAVANNA IN TRANSITION: JUNIPER ENCROACHMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ALTER GRASSLAND SOIL RESPIRATION
(2011-08-08)
The amount of carbon flux from soils on a global scale is estimated at over 75 x 1015 g C yr-1. Climate change is projected to affect regional environmental conditions, raising temperatures and altering precipitation ...
