Development of RF CMOS receiver front-ends for ultrawideband
(2009-05-15)
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology has become one of the hottest topics in
wireless communications, for it provides cost-effective, power-efficient, high bandwidth
solution for relaying data in the immediate area (up to 10 ...
The effect of flaxseed hulls on expanded corn meal products
(2009-05-15)
Brown flaxseed hulls were added to de-germed corn meal and processed into
extrudates with acceptable texture and increased nutritional benefits. The addition of
brown flaxseed hulls to a corn based expanded snack increases ...
Essays in game theory and institutions
(2009-06-02)
This dissertation is a compilation of essays highlighting the usefulness of game
theory in understanding socio-economic phenomena. The second chapter tries to
provide a reason for the strict codes of conduct that have been ...
Quality of service analysis for hybrid-ARQ
(2009-05-15)
Data intensive applications, requiring reliability and strict delay constraints,
have emerged recently and they necessitate a different approach to analyzing system
performance. In my work, I establish a framework that ...
An algorithm for identifying clusters of functionally related genes in genomes
(2009-05-15)
An increasing body of literature shows that genomes of eukaryotes can contain
clusters of functionally related genes. Most approaches to identify gene clusters utilize
microarray data or metabolic pathway databases to find ...
Molecular biology study of satellite panicum mosaic virus capsid protein
(2009-05-15)
Satellite panicum mosaic virus (SPMV) depends on its helper Panicum mosaic virus
(PMV) for replication and movement in host plants. The positive-sense single-stranded
genomic RNA of SPMV encodes a 17-kDa capsid protein ...
Influences of situated cognition on tracheal intubation skill acquisition in paramedic education
(2009-05-15)
Situated cognition argues that learning takes place in an embedded social and physical
environment, and through a social process, reality takes on meaning. This dissertation
investigated if a link exists between learners’ ...
A narrative investigation of adult latina's life experience of physical activity adherence
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to explore the lifelong physical activity (PA)
stories of Latinas to determine motives that contribute to exercise adherence behaviors.
Using an interview process, life histories were collected ...
The roles of N-myristoylation in cell morphogenesis in Aspergillus nidulans
(2009-05-15)
Polarized hyphal growth dominates the life cycle of filamentous fungi and is
essential to disease progression for many fungal pathogens. Despite its importance,
much of the basic biology controlling the process remains to ...
Micro/nano-patterning of supported lipid bilayers: biophysical studies and membrane-associated species separation
(2009-05-15)
Micro/nano-patterning of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) has shown considerable potential for addressing fundamental biophysical questions about cell membrane behavior and the creation of a new generation of biosensors. ...
