A Theoretical Approach for the Determination and Mechanistic Interpretation of Radiation D10-value
(2010-07-14)
In the design of the food irradiation process, the knowledge of the radiation resistance of
the target organism in a specific food commodity is required. The D10-value, the radiation dose
needed to inactivate 90% of the ...
Augmenting users' task performance through workspace narrative exploration
(2010-07-14)
In a fast-paced office setting, information workers inevitably experience expected and unexpected interruptions daily. As the volume and the diversity of information and application types grow, the impact of frequent ...
Electrochemical characterization and time-variant structural reliability assessment of post-tensioned, segmental concrete bridges
(2010-07-14)
In post-tensioned (PT) bridges, prestressing steel tendons are the major load carrying
components. These tendons consist of strands, ducts, and cementitious grout that fill the
interstitial space between the strands and ...
The Kitten Shipwreck: Archaeology and Reconstruction of a Black Sea Merchantman
(2010-10-12)
In the early 1980s Bulgarian archaeologists of the newly established Centre for
Underwater Archaeology at Sozopol discovered the remains of a post-medieval ship in
the southern Bay of Kitten, in the lee of Cape Urdoviza. ...
Analysis and Design of Resilient VLSI Circuits
(2010-07-14)
The reliable operation of Integrated Circuits (ICs) has become increasingly difficult to
achieve in the deep sub-micron (DSM) era. With continuously decreasing device feature
sizes, combined with lower supply voltages and ...
Endografts, Pressure, and the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(2010-07-14)
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are an expansion in diameter of the
abdominal aorta and their rupture is a leading cause of mortality. One of the treatments
for AAA is the implantation of an endograft (also called a stent ...
Structural and Functional Investigations of Conformationally Interconverting RNA Pseudoknots
(2010-10-12)
The biological function of RNA is often linked to an ability to adopt one or more
mutually exclusive conformational states or isomers, a characteristic that distinguishes
this biomolecule from proteins. Two examples of ...
Nanocomposite Membranes for Complex Separations
(2010-10-12)
Over the past few decades there has been great interest in exploring alternatives to conventional separation methods due to their high cost and energy requirements. Membranes offer a potentially attractive alternative as ...
Fostering Innovative Capacity via Organizational Reward Systems: The Case of Faculty Collaboration
(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this study is to reveal, through the use of case study methodology, how
faculty collaboration may foster the development of intellectual capital and how organizational
reward systems mediate this process. ...
Spectroscopic Investigations of Selected Cyclic and Bicyclic Molecules
(2010-10-12)
Several cyclic molecules along with two bicyclic molecules were investigated
using infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet (UV) absorption, fluorescence excitation (FES),
and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) ...
