Analysis of Compressible and Incompressible Flows Through See-through Labyrinth Seals
(2011-08-08)
The labyrinth seal is a non-contact annular type sealing device used to reduce the internal leakage of the working fluid which is caused by the pressure difference between each stage in a turbomachine. Reducing the leakage ...
Perceptual and Attentional Constraints on 1:1 Bimanual Coordination
(2011-08-08)
Two experiments were conducted in an attempt to further the understanding of how
previously identified intrinsic constraints and perceptual factors interact in influencing
the learning and performance of various bimanual ...
Study of Dust - Gas Hybrid Mixture Explosions
(2015-08-25)
Hybrid mixtures are widely encountered in industries such as coal mines, paint factories, pharmaceutical industries, or grain elevators. Hybrid mixtures explosions involving dust and gas can cause great loss of lives and ...
Size-Dependent Filtration of Non-Loaded Particulate Traps
(2014-12-12)
This work investigates the filtration efficiency of uncoated, commercial Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) substrates of three porosities (55.8%, 61.1%, 65.0%) for particulate sizes representative of Gasoline Direct Injection ...
Examining Age-Related Use of Visual Imagery Subprocesses in Children
(2011-08-08)
This study examined the age-related ability of children (7 to 11 years) and adults to use visual imagery in tasks requiring the subprocesses of imagery generation, maintenance and inspection. Previous work had shown that ...
Wrestling with Ssireum: Korean Folk Game vs. Globalization
(2012-10-19)
Ssireum is a Korean form of grappling. Wrestlers grip sashes that are looped around their opponent's waist and thigh while competing inside a sand circle with the goal of making any part of their opponent's body above the ...
Expanding the Genetic Code for Synthesis of Proteins with Native Biological Modifications and Novel Chemical, Biophysical Probes
(2015-12-10)
Engineering of protein with new modifications essentially expands the protein functions which provide powerful tools for investigating significant biological questions. New modifications also offer scientists the ability ...
Biological Studies of Dirhodium(II,II) Compounds and Their Applications as Photochemothreapeutic Agents
(2015-10-07)
The work contained in this dissertation focuses on the synthesis and characterization of dirhodium (II,II) compounds and studies of their anticancer activities against cervical and ovarian cancer cell lines. It has been ...
Fungal Endophytes and Their Ecological Roles in Cotton: Evaluation of Potential Antagonistic Activity against Plant Parasitic Nematodes and Insect Herbivores
(2015-10-20)
Results showed that both endophytes could negatively affect root-knot nematode infection and reproduction in cotton under greenhouse conditions. Further, endophytic C. globosum was also shown to negatively affect the ...
Developing Synthesis Techniques for Zeolitic-Imidazolate Framework Membranes for High Resolution Propylene/Propane Separation
(2015-11-06)
Propylene/propane separation is one of the most challenging separations, currently achieved by energy-intensive cryogenic distillation. Despite the great potentials for energy-efficient membrane-based propylene/propane ...
