(2009-05-15)
Critical examinations of William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus almost always
occlude questions of the domestic. Yet, a major portion of the play’s action takes place
in a house and the methods of the characters’ revenge ...
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 ...
Development of an infrared absorption spectroscope based on linear variable filters
(2009-05-15)
The objective of this thesis is to develop a low-cost infrared absorption spectroscope
based on linear variable filter (LVF) technology for the automated detection of gases and
vapors, and the semi-automated detection of ...
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 ...
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 ...
National human resource development in the developing world: the Republic of Kazakhstan
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first was to explore, describe and define
the emerging construct of Human Resource Development (HRD) in the Republic of
Kazakhstan (RKZ). The second was to examine specific ...
Robust concatenated codes for the slow Rayleigh fading channel
(2009-05-15)
In this thesis, we design a robust concatenated code for the Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output (MIMO) system in the presence of slow Rayleigh fading with no
channel side information at the transmitter (no CSIT) and perfect ...
