(1992)
Plato's authoritative depictions of the philosopher as the sole guide capable of leading readers to Truth develop slowly through his dialogues. Through analyses of the "Meno," the "Phaedo," and the "Timaeus," dialogues ...
Structure/function studies on the signal sequence of organophosphorus hydrolase of P̲s̲e̲u̲d̲o̲m̲o̲n̲a̲s̲ d̲i̲m̲i̲n̲u̲t̲a̲ in E̲s̲c̲h̲e̲r̲i̲c̲h̲i̲a̲ c̲o̲l̲i̲
(1992)
The soil bacteria, Pseudomonas diminuta MG and Flavobacterium sp. 27551 both contain identical plasmid-borne opd (organophosphorous degradation) genes, but on dissimilar plasmids. Other paraoxonase strains did not appear ...
Cenozoic seismic stratigraphy and structure of the continental margin offshore Vietnam, South China Sea
(1992)
Time-structure maps of the basement in the study area show two different sets of faults. These faults trend NNW-SSE in the northern and middle areas and NE-SW in the southern area. Strain ellipse indicates that the fault ...
The selective functionalization of saturated hydrocarbons with GIF-type systems
(1992)
The Gif-family is a group of Fe- or Cu-containing chemical systems oxidizing saturated hydrocarbons to ketones. The unusual behavior shown by these systems (secondary C-H bonds are oxidized preferentially even in the ...
Forecasting services for pregnant and parenting adolescents using the Delphi Technique
(1992)
The purpose of this study was to determine existing services and barriers to services at the local level for pregnant and parenting adolescents and to forecast the events that would remove those barriers in the next decade. ...
Parallel and intelligent test system architecture for circuit board interconnects
(1992)
In this dissertation, a parallel and intelligent test system is studied to detect the open circuit faults and the short circuit faults of printed interconnection circuit board. The printed circuit boards are composed of ...
Computer vision assistance for guidance of agricultural tractors in varying crop environments
(1992)
Computer algorithms were developed for generating the guidance parameters necessary to steer an agricultural tractor in field operations. A variety of operations were considered in order that the guidance program be general ...
Cognitive correlates of peer and self-report measures of dysphoric mood in fifth and seventh grade students
(1992)
The present study examined how utilizing different classification criteria for evaluating depression may lead to different conclusions regarding which attributes correlate with depression. This study was designed to ...
Audits of a federal loan program : a classification model of reported irregularities
(1992)
The primary objectives of this research are to: (1) determine factors significant in differentiating between projects with and without reported irregularities, and (2) develop an empirical classification model for reported ...
Neural network control of an intelligent end-effector for rehabilitation robotics
(1992)
This research investigated a supervised intelligent control of a robot end-effector using an Artificial Neural Network system. This control system performs dexterous control of end-effector for grasping objects interacting ...
