Some Results in the Hyperinvariant Subspace Problem and Free Probability
(2010-07-14)
This dissertation consists of three more or less independent projects. In the first
project, we find the microstates free entropy dimension of a large class of L1[0; 1]{
circular operators, in the presence of a generator ...
Comparative Genomic Analysis of Adaptive and Economic Traits Related Genes in Southern Pines
(2010-07-29)
Four major Southern pines, Pinus echinata Mill., P. elliottii Engelm., P. palustris Mill.
and P. taeda L. are evolutionarily young and closely related. They have not been
intensely researched except P. taeda. In this study ...
Interwell Connectivity Evaluation from Wellrate Fluctuations: A Waterflooding Managment Tool
(2010-07-14)
Using injection and production data, we can evaluate the connectivity between injector and producer well pairs to characterize their interwell regions and provide a tool for waterflood management. The capacitance model ...
Examination of Housing Price Impacts on Residential Properties Before and After Superfund Remediation Using Spatial Hedonic Modeling
(2010-10-12)
Although recent brownfields redevelopment research using theories of real estate
valuation and neighborhood change have indicated negative effects on surrounding
residential housing, little evidence exists to show price ...
A Process Model of Applicant Faking on Overt Integrity Tests
(2010-01-14)
To better understand the cognitive processes associated with faking behaviors,
Ajzen?s Theory of Planned Behavior was adapted to the study of faking on overt
integrity tests. This decision-based model is then expanded ...
The Beef Nutrient Database Improvement Project: Retail Cuts From the Chuck
(2010-01-16)
A total of 40 beef arm chucks were collected from three cities across the United
States to study the proximate composition of their separable lean. Chucks were
fabricated 5-7 d postmortem and later cooked and dissected, ...
Development of Apple Workgroup Cluster and Parallel Computing for Phase Field Model of Magnetic Materials
(2010-01-16)
Micromagnetic modeling numerically solves magnetization evolution equation to
process magnetic domain analysis, which helps to understand the macroscopic
magnetic properties of ferromagnets. To apply this method in simulation ...
Design and Optimize a Two Color Fourier Domain Pump Probe Optical Coherence Tomography System
(2010-01-16)
Molecular imaging using fluorescence spectroscopy-based techniques is
generally inefficient due to the low quantum yield of most naturally occurring
biomolecules. Current fluorescence imaging techniques tag these ...
Performance of Reinforced Concrete Column Lap Splices
(2010-01-14)
Cantilevered reinforced concrete columns with a lap splice of the longitudinal
reinforcement near the base can induce high moment demands on the splice region when
lateral loads are present on the structure. Code design ...
Postmodernity as Thanatos: the Relationship Between Illusion and Needs
(2010-01-16)
Zygmunt Bauman and other postmodernists have argued that postmodernity is characterized by the disintegration of the legitimacy and authority of what has been referred to as grand narratives or "illusions." These theorists ...
