Application of pullout test fracture strength and theory toward a quality management system for controlling concrete pavement cracks
(1994)
For fracture mechanics theory to be applied toward the design and construction of concrete pavements and structures, in-place testing technology is needed to provide fracture mechanics properties. Two instrumented pullout ...
Stability and change in coping patterns in adolescence and young adulthood
(1993)
Using panel data for 3,805 participants followed between early adolescence and young adulthood, patterns of coping patterns and changes in these patterns are described. At both life stages more socially approved mechanisms ...
Insulation in the opaque envelope : effects on thermal performance of residential buildings in hot-arid climates
(1991)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the thermal performance of insulated opaque building envelopes when the order of envelope insulating layers was altered. The study emphasized the effect on cooling load. Three ...
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow
(1992)
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow was investigated. The rotating cavity has two plane disks and a cylindrical rim (shroud). The ratio of the rim span to the disk outer radius is 0.4 ...
Factors affecting English as a second language learning for new and returning international college students enrolled at an English Language Institute in the United States
(1995)
The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to conduct a qualitative case study of new and returning foreign students' and second language teachers' beliefs and attitudes toward English as a second language learning and ...
Use of palmitoleate and myristoleate to establish the effects of fatty acid chain length and saturation on plasma cholesterol
(1992)
Specific objectives of this study were to test the hypothesis that fatty acid chain length, rather than saturation, is primarily responsible for the effects on plasma lipoproteins. Weanling pigs were assigned to six groups ...
Adsorption and catalytic studies on model mono- and bimetallic catalysts
(1993)
The adsorption and oxidation of carbon monoxide were studied on model mono- and bimetallic catalysts of Pd(111), Pd(100), Cu(100), Rh(100) and Cu/Rh(100), using combined elevated pressure reactor/IR cell-UHV surface analysis ...
Boundary kernel estimation of the two sample comparison density function
(1989)
The focus of this work is to derive functional and graphical statistical techniques for the two sample problem suitable for implementation in modern computing environments. In the two sample problem, it is desired to test ...
Development and testing of a bovine model for sperm antigen immunocontraception
(1995)
The objectives of this research project were to utilize monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which were generated against human fertilization-related sperm antigens, to test for their cross-reactivity with bovine spermatozoa. ...
Lepton pair production in the electromagnetic fields of relativistic collisions
(1991)
Electromagnetic lepton pair production is studied in an ab initio approach with no free parameters. A semi-classical approximation to the relative motion of the two incident particles is made and the resulting second-order ...
