A Novel, Green Technology for the Production of Aromatic Thiol from Aromatic Sulfonyl Chloride
(2010-01-16)
The hydrogenation of aromatic sulfonyl chloride to produce aromatic thiol is an
important industrial reaction. The aromatic thiol is a critical intermediate in the
production of many pharmaceuticals as well as several ...
Application of Finite Mixture Models for Vehicle Crash Data Analysis
(2010-07-14)
Developing sound or reliable statistical models for analyzing vehicle crashes is very
important in highway safety studies. A difficulty arises when crash data exhibit overdispersion.
Over-dispersion caused by unobserved ...
Modeling and Simulation of Advanced Nano-Scale Very Large Scale Integration Circuits
(2010-07-14)
With VLSI(very large scale integration) technology shrinking and frequency increasing,
the minimum feature size is smaller than sub-wavelength lithography wavelength,
and the manufacturing cost is significantly increasing ...
Exploration of the Impact of the Same Developmental Mentor Training Within the Infrastructure of Two Different School Districts
(2010-01-16)
The literature is convincing that the revolving door presently occurring in schools as new teachers prematurely leave the profession is difficult not only on children and families, but also school staff and school-wide ...
BUSINESS CYCLES, FISCAL STABILIZATION AND VERTICAL FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT: ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL MACROECONOMICS
(2010-01-16)
My dissertation studies various questions falling into the broad context of
macroeconomics and international economics. The questions have macroeconomic
components because they are concerned with the behavior of aggregates. ...
Enhancing Protein-Resistance of PEO-Modified Biomaterials
(2010-01-16)
The ultimate goal of this dissertation research is to enhance the protein resistant
nature of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) or poly(ethylene glycol) by introduction of a
siloxane linker and to subsequently prepare coatings ...
ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION USING NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION METHODS FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN PROBLEMS
(2010-01-16)
The Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) system is needed to reduce the
developing time and production cost in most industries. The MDO is the new technology for
optimization design, and considers solid mechanics, ...
Mapping Athletic Performance Related Genes in the Equine Genome and a Genome Scan for Superior Athletic Performance in the Thoroughbred
(2010-01-16)
The primary goal of the Thoroughbred industry is to breed and train superior
equine athletes capable of excelling on the racetrack. To date, research into the genetic
underpinnings of athletic ability has been limited in ...
Credible Commitments in Policy and Administration
(2010-01-16)
The theoretical argument of this dissertation contains a set of conditions under
which professional personnel systems serve as political tools to make government efforts
to implement public policies credible and reliable, ...
AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE NEEDED BY SUPERINTENDENTS AND ARCHITECTS TO ENHANCE THEIR COLLABORATION IN THE SCHOOL DESIGN PROCESS
(2010-01-16)
The purpose of the study was to identify perceptions of the contributions made
by superintendents and architects respectively when programming a new school.
Areas of collaboration were determined by a qualitative analysis ...
