(2009-05-15)
During the first two decades of the 17th century King Philip III (1598-1621) of
Spain and Portugal launched an effort to standardize all shipbuilding in the Iberian

(2009-05-15)
In 1587, an ambitious colonial bureaucrat in Mexico City published a handbook
titled Instrucción náutica. Although navigational books were common throughout the
16th century, the Instrucción náutica was the first printed ...
An evaluation of membrane materials for the treatment of highly concentrated suspended salt solutions in reverse osmosis and nanofiltration processes for desalination
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a study to enhance and improve a zero liquid discharge
(ZLD) reverse osmosis process that uses seed crystals to promote crystallization of the
dissolved salts in the residual brine while it is being ...
Structural and functional investigation of human chemokines and applications of human chemokines in blocking HIV-1 entry
(2009-05-15)
Chemokines are important mediators of leukocyte migration. Chemokines bind
to G protein–coupled receptors (GPCR) and cause conformational changes that trigger
intracellular signaling pathways involved in inflammation, ...
Combined effects of Reynolds number, turbulence intensity and periodic unsteady wake flow conditions on boundary layer development and heat transfer of a low pressure turbine blade
(2009-05-15)
Detailed experimental investigation has been conducted to provide a detailed insight
into the heat transfer and aerodynamic behavior of a separation zone that is generated as a
result of boundary layer development along ...
Estimating forest structural characteristics with airborne lidar scanning and a near-real time profiling laser systems
(2009-05-15)
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) directly measures canopy vertical
structures, and provides an effective remote sensing solution to accurate and spatiallyexplicit
mapping of forest characteristics, such as canopy height ...
Constructive hierarchy through entitlement: inequality in lithic resource access among the ancient Maya of Blue Creek, Belize
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This dissertation tests the theory that lithic raw materials were a strategic resource among the ancient Maya of Blue Creek, Belize that markedly influenced the development of socio-economic hierarchies at the site. Recent ...
