The Identification of Five Seedlings Hyper-responsive to Light (SHL), and Characterization of SHL7
(2010-01-16)
Light is one of the major environmental factors that controls plant development, through
a process known as photomorphogenesis. Plants perceive light via photoreceptors, and
the information used to direct a myriad of ...
Ultrafast Laser Induced Thermo-Elasto-Visco-Plastodynamics in Single Crystalline Silicon
(2011-02-22)
A comprehensive model for describing the fundamental mechanism dictating the
interaction of ultrafast laser pulse with single crystalline silicon wafer is formulated.
The need for establishing the feasibility of employing ...
Essays on monetary policy and asset prices
(2010-01-14)
The recent financial and economic turmoil driven by housing market has led the economists to refocus on the issue about monetary policy and asset price, especially housing price. In this dissertation I investigate the ...
Polyisobutylene as a Polymer Support for Homogeneous Catalysis
(2010-01-14)
Phase selective soluble polymers are useful in organic synthesis because they
simplify purification and separation processes. Such selective soluble polymers enable
the use of Green chemistry principles to be utilized as ...
“AT HOME, I’M CLARK KENT. AT CAMP, I’M SUPERMAN:” OUTCOMES AND PROCESSES OF A CAMP FOR YOUTH WITH HIV/AIDS
(2010-01-16)
Understanding how inputs influence program outcomes is a key step in designing
and implementing quality youth programs to support positive development. While
developmental processes are assumed to be universal for all ...
Fragment Based Protein Active Site Analysis Using Markov Random Field Combinations of Stereochemical Feature-Based Classifications
(2010-07-14)
Recent improvements in structural genomics efforts have greatly increased the
number of hypothetical proteins in the Protein Data Bank. Several computational
methodologies have been developed to determine the function of ...
Essays in Financial Econometrics
(2010-01-14)
I consider continuous time asset pricing models with stochastic differential utility
incorporating decision makers' concern with ambiguity on true probability measure.
In order to identify and estimate key parameters in ...
Chemical Agent Induced Reduction of Skin Light Scattering
(2011-02-22)
Skin turbidity limits light based medical applications while increasing the risk of epidermal thermal injury. Collagen fibers are responsible for the majority of light scattering within skin. Chemicals, known as clearing ...
DESIGNING COST-EFFECTIVE COARSE-GRAINED RECONFIGURABLE ARCHITECTURE
(2010-07-14)
Application-specific optimization of embedded systems becomes inevitable to satisfy the
market demand for designers to meet tighter constraints on cost, performance and power.
On the other hand, the flexibility of a system ...
Near-Field Sediment Resuspension Measurement and Modeling for Cutter Suction Dredging Operations
(2011-02-22)
The sediment resuspension and turbidity created during dredging operations is both an economical and environmental issue. The movement of sediment plumes created from dredging operations has been predicted with numerical ...
