Making sense of divergent career test scores
(2009-05-15)
The purposes of this study were to discover patterns in test scores when both the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory are used simultaneously and to offer career counselors practical ways to ...
Automatic isochoric apparatus for PVT and phase equilibrium studies of natural gas mixtures
(2009-05-15)
We have developed a new automatic apparatus for the measurement of the phase equilibrium and pVT properties of natural gas mixtures in our laboratory. Based on the isochoric method, the apparatus can operate at temperature ...
Reading achievement of English language learners in 50/50 and 90/10 two-way dual language programs
(2009-05-15)
My study investigated the effects of two 50/50 and two 90/10 two-way dual
language programs on the reading achievement of 76 English Language Learners (ELLs)
from the end of third grade to the end of fourth grade. My study ...
The relationship between the level of antibiotic use and resistance among enteric bacteria in a multi-site integrated human and swine population
(2009-05-15)
The objective of this longitudinal study was to study the relationship between changes in prevalence of resistant enteric bacteria associated with mean monthly doses (MMD) of various antibiotics used in each of two host ...
Anvil effect in spherical indentation testing on sheet metal
(2009-06-02)
A spherical indentation test is considered to be invalid if there is presence of a visible
mark on the side of the sheet metal facing the anvil and exactly below the indentation.
With the available standard loads of the ...
Efficient blind symbol rate estimation and data symbol detection algorithms for linearly modulated signals
(2009-05-15)
Blind estimation of unknown channel parameters and data symbol detection
represent major open problems in non-cooperative communication systems such as
automatic modulation classification (AMC). This thesis focuses on ...
Understanding mechanisms for C-H bond activation
(2009-05-15)
The results from density functional theory (DFT) studies into C–H bond
activation, hydrogen transfer, and alkyne–to–vinylidene isomerization are presented in
this work.
The reaction mechanism for the reductive elimination ...
RF CMOS UWB transmitter and receiver front-end design
(2009-05-15)
The low-cost low-power complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)
ultra wideband (UWB) transmitter and receiver front-ends based on impulse technology
were developed. The CMOS UWB pulse generator with frequency-band ...
Analysis and design of power conditioning systems
(2009-05-15)
A combination of high prices of fossil fuels and the increased awareness of their
negative environmental impact has influenced the development of new cleaner energy
sources. Among various viable technologies, fuel cells ...
