Analysis of the Pebble-Bed VHTR Spectrum Shifting Capabilities for Advanced Fuel Cycles
(2009-09-30)
Gas-cooled nuclear reactors have been receiving specific attention for Generation IV possibilities due to desired characteristics such as relatively low cost, short construction period, and inherent safety. Attractive ...
EXPLORING EFFICIENT CODING SCHEMES FOR STORING ARBITRARY TREE DATA STRUCTURES IN FLASH MEMORIES
(2009-06-09)
Flash memory usage is becoming ever more prevalent in society today. It is being used
in everything from portable data storage devices, portable music players, cell phones,
and even solid-state (non-mechanical) computer ...
Endorcine Effects of Pyrethroid Pesticide Esfenvalerate Metabolites; 3-Phenoxybenzyl Alcohol and 3-Phenoxybenzoic Acid
(2009-09-30)
Much research has been conducted on type II pyrethroid pesticides but there is a paucity of research conducted on metabolites from these pesticides. 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol are two metabolites ...
Detection of Explosives Using Heated Micro-Cantilever Sensors
(2009-09-30)
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability to detect the presence of energetic materials by analyzing the bending response of an electrically heated micro-cantilever thermal bi-morph array. Heating the ...
Ghosts of Oceans Past: Analysis of Microfossils from Deep Sea Sediments
(2009-09-30)
This research focuses on the analysis of microfossils from deep-sea sediments. I am investigating a series of deep-sea sediment cores from the South Pacific. The cores are a vertical timeline of sedimentation, with each ...
ANALYSIS OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR HUMAN TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR 3 DOMINANT NEGATIVITY AND SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION
(2009-06-09)
Toll-like receptors are an important part of the innate immune system and mediate infection via the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) recognizes foreign-derived ...
Identifying and Mapping Parallel Mutations of GAR-3
(2009-06-09)
This research identifies a gene that potentially works acetylcholine receptor protein GAR-3. We isolated nematodes (roundworm) Caenorhabditis elegans that are resistant to the drug arecoline, which stimulates behaviors ...
Ancestral Polynesian Pottery Production and Exchange Analysis Using LA-ICP-MS
(2009-06-09)
This thesis examines the production and distribution of ancestral Polynesian pottery on Tutuila Island, American Samoa and evaluates the extent of intra-island interactions. Currently, very little is known about ceramic ...
The Impact of Emerging Multinationals in the Global Spectrum
(2009-06-09)
The word change is a vast understatement in describing what is to occur in the world in
the 21st century. The current statistics, based on purchasing power parity, place the U.S.
as having the world’s largest economy. ...
HPLC AND Mass Spectroscopic Characterization of Mango (Mangifera Indica L.) Gallotannins Following Enzymatic Hydrolysis
(2009-06-09)
Mangos contain numerous compounds that have been shown to exhibit antioxidant
properties. These compounds, most of which are polyphenolics, are linked to anti-cancer
and anti-inflammatory activities in the body. Mangos ...
