Kinetics of Anionic Surfactant Anoxic Degradation
(2010-07-14)
The biodegradation kinetics of Geropon TC-42 (trademark) by an acclimated culture was investigated in anoxic batch reactors to determine biokinetic coefficients to be implemented in two biofilm mathematical models. Geropon ...
ANALYSES OF DEFORMATION IN VISCOELASTIC SANDWICH COMPOSITES SUBJECT TO MOISTURE DIFFUSION
(2010-01-16)
Sandwich composites with polymer foam core are currently used in load-bearing components in buildings and naval structures due to their high strength to weight and stiffness to weight ratios, excellent thermal insulation, ...
Ante rem Structuralism and the Myth of Identity Criteria
(2010-01-20)
This thesis examines the connections between the motivations of ante rem structuralism and the
problem of automorphism. Ante rem structuralists are led to the problem of automorphism because
of their commitment to the ...
Development of Approach to Estimate Volume Fraction of Multiphase Material Using Dielectrics
(2010-07-14)
Most engineering as well as pavement materials are composites composed of two or
more components to obtain a variety of solid properties to support internal and external
loading. The composite materials rely on physical ...
An Examination of Elementary School Teachers' Belief about Their African American Students with an Analysis of Selected Characteristics of Schools in One Urban School District
(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between five factors: teacher efficacy, teacher beliefs, cultural responsive classroom management, cultural awareness, and cultural sensitivity among African American, ...
Survey of Pathogen Interventions and Best Practices Used by Beef Harvesters and Processors
(2010-10-12)
A survey was developed and sent out to each sector of the beef industry (slaughter, non-intact processing and grinding) by using the FSIS Meat, Poultry and Egg Product Inspection Directory. Survey questions were specific ...
Design and Construction of a Low Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope
(2010-10-12)
A low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LTSTM) was built that we could use in an ultra high vacuum (UHV) system. The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was tested on an existing 3He cryostat and calibrated at ...
Evaluation and optimization of pervious concrete with respect to permeability and clogging
(2010-01-20)
Although pervious concrete was first used in the nineteenth century, it has only recently
begun to increase in popularity. As urban areas expand, the problems associated with runoff
management have become more challenging. ...
Estimating Seasonal Drivers in Childhood Infectious Diseases with Continuous Time Models
(2010-07-14)
Many important factors affect the spread of childhood infectious disease. To
understand better the fundamental drivers of infectious disease spread, several researchers
have estimated seasonal transmission coefficients ...
Impact of Climate Change on Long Term Nuclear Power Plant Operation
(2010-10-12)
The present work examines the potential impact of changes in climatic conditions
on the long-term functioning of nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants are
potentially susceptible to changes both in acute risks, such ...
