High Gain Transformerless DC-DC Converters for Renewable Energy Sources
(2011-08-08)
Renewable energy sources including photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, and wind turbines require converters with high voltage gain in order to interface with power transmission and distribution networks. These conversions are ...
Mechanical Properties of Sodium and Potassium Activated Metakaolin-Based Geopolymers
(2011-10-21)
Geopolymers (GPs) are a new class of inorganic polymers that have been considered as good candidate materials for many applications, including fire resistant and refractory panels, adhesives, and coatings, waste encapsulation ...
Investigation of the Effect of Non-Darcy Flow and Multi-Phase Flow on the Productivity of Hydraulically Fractured Gas Wells
(2011-10-21)
Hydraulic fracturing has recently been the completion of choice for most tight gas bearing formations. It has proven successful to produce these formations in a commercial manner. However, some considerations have to be ...
Effects of UV Light Disinfection on Tetracycline Resistant Bacteria in Wastewater Effluents
(2011-10-21)
The ubiquitous use of antibiotics has led to an increasing number of antibioticresistant
bacterial strains, including strains that are multidrug resistant, pathogenic, or
both. Numerous studies have been conducted showing ...
Gene Expression in the Stallion Testes
(2011-08-08)
Understanding the genes that regulate spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis in the testis is critical for enhancement of stallion fertility. Stallion testicular samples were used to identify candidate genes by cDNA microarrays ...
Effects of Gossypol Consumption on the Growth Traits of Red Deer Stags and Supplemental Melatonin for Advancement of Estrous Cycles in Red Deer Hinds.
(2011-08-08)
Experiment I studied the effect of dietary gossypol (G) on antler and body growth traits of red deer stags, whereas Experiment II studied the effect of exogenous melatonin on female red deer reproductive traits. Specifically ...
Evaluation of Dried Plum Powder in Meat Products Destined for Convenience and Foodservice Outlets
(2011-08-08)
Antioxidant activity of dried plum powder (DPP) at 3% was compared to rosemary extract (RE) at 0.05% in turkey breakfast sausages which were stored under three aerobic conditions: raw refrigerated (RR; 6 degrees C), raw ...
Secondary Analysis of Case-Control Studies in Genomic Contexts
(2011-10-21)
This dissertation consists of five independent projects. In each project, a novel
statistical method was developed to address a practical problem encountered in genomic
contexts. For example, we considered testing for ...
The Schrodinger Equation as a Volterra Problem
(2011-08-08)
The objective of the thesis is to treat the Schrodinger equation in parallel with a standard treatment of the heat equation. In the books of the Rubensteins and Kress,
the heat equation initial value problem is converted ...
A Study of Motivation Types and Behavior of Graduate Students in Future Faculty Preparation Programs
(2011-08-08)
There currently exists a challenge in higher education to improve undergraduate education. The development and more adequate preparation of future faculty, who are current graduate students, is one of several options ...
