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 ...
New Strategies in the Localization of Natural Product Biosynthetic Pathways and Achieving Heterologous Expression
(2011-02-22)
Natural products have long furnished medical science playing a significant role in drug discovery and development. Their importance notwithstanding, it is estimated that less than 1% of microorganisms can be cultivated ...
Phase-field Models for Solidification and Solid/Liquid Interactions
(2011-02-22)
The microstructure resulting from the solidification of alloys can greatly affect their properties,
making the prediction of solidification phenomena under arbitrary conditions a very important
tool in the field of ...
An Alternative Oral Proficiency and Expressive Vocabulary Assessment of Kindergarten English Language Learners
(2011-02-22)
The data used in this study were secondary, kindergarten data from a longitudinal, five-year, federal experimental research project: English and Literacy Acquisition (ELLA) (R305P030032). The overall goal of ELLA was to ...
Experimental Study of Bridge Scour in Cohesive Soil
(2011-02-22)
The bridge scour depths in cohesive soil have been predicted using the scour
equations developed for cohesionless soils due to scarce of studies about cohesive soil.
The scour depths predicted by the conventional methods ...
An Empirical Comparison between the NEO-FFI and the WPI and the Relationship between Self-Efficacy and Workplace Personality
(2011-02-22)
While much research has been devoted to the study of personality, the separate construct of “workplace personality” is beginning to gain empirical attention. The current study takes a closer look at the factor structure ...
Throughput and Delay Analysis in Cognitive Overlaid Networks
(2011-02-22)
Consider a cognitive overlaid network (CON) that has two tiers with different
priorities: a primary tier vs. a secondary tier, which is an emerging network scenario
with the advancement of cognitive radio (CR) technologies. ...
Experimental & Numerical Investigation of Pool Boiling on Engineered Surfaces with Integrated Thin-flim Temperature Sensors
(2011-02-22)
The objective of this investigation is to measure and analyze surface temperature fluctuations in pool boiling. The surface temperature fluctuations were recorded on silicon surfaces with and without multi-walled carbon ...
Goal Orientation as Shaping the Firm's Entrepreneurial Orientation and Performance
(2011-02-22)
Firms’ top decision makers cannot possibly know what decisions to make. Rather, decision makers must interpret their situations and make the best possible decision based upon their interpretation of their situations. In ...
