Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation over Sn(IV) Phosphonates
(2008-08-19)
Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidations are used to convert ketones and aldehydes to esters and phenols. These ester and phenols are useful building blocks in designing more complex organic materials in pharmaceutical chemistry. ...
Electrospinning of Cellulose and Carbon Nanotube-Cellulose Fibers for Smart Applications
(2008-08-19)
Cellulose is one of the Earth’s most abundant natural polymers and is used as a raw material in various applications. Recently, cellulose based electro-active paper (EAPap) has been investigated for its potential as a smart ...

(2008-08-19)
This research examines the motivational factors that influence the location of U.S. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in a post 9-11 world. Market factors, in the past, have been a dominant motivation in choosing a location ...
The Effects of Habitat Complexity on the Cognitive Performance of Two Fish Species and Their Hybrids
(2008-08-19)
The complexity of an animal’s habitat plays a significant role in behavior, morphology as well as other life history traits. Habitat complexity may also play a significant role in an animal’s cognitive capabilities such ...
Neumann Bounded Partitions of Eigenfunctions
(2008-08-19)
A new partitioning scheme, analogous to nodal domains, for the eigenfunctions of differential operators is constructed. The new scheme produces subdomains with Neumann boundaries instead of Dirichlet boundaries and will ...
Multi-Scale Reinforced Carbon Fiber Nanocomposites
(2008-08-19)
Carbon fiber polymer composites are utilized in many industries including in commercial and military aircraft and space vehicles because of their lighter weight and superior strength compared to aluminum and steel. Due to ...
Copano Bay: Assessing the Accountability of Spatial/Temporal Variability in Benthic Molluscan Paleocommunities
(2008-08-19)
Increasing attention has been directed towards paleoecolological studies in understanding the relationship between modern live communities and death assemblages as a means of better understanding fossil assemblages preserved ...
An Examination of the Relationships Among Childhood Trauma, Emotional Invalidation, and Adult Dissociation
(2008-08-19)
This study examined the association between childhood trauma and adult dissociative tendencies through analyses of the mediating and moderating effects of emotional invalidation. Participants (N = 185, ages 17-24, 62.2% ...
