Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer Nanocomposites for Energy Applications
(2011-10-21)
Polymer nanocomposites are used in a variety of applications due to their good mechanical properties. Specifically, better performance of lithium ion batteries and thermal interface material can be obtained by using ...
Neobarroco Y erotismo en la poesía de Eduardo Espina Y Néstor Perlongher
(2011-10-21)
The poetry of Eduardo Espina and Nestor Perlongher is one of the most
transcendental of Hispanic neo-baroque, emerging in the eighties and persisting in the
new millennium as one of the most influential literary tendencies ...
Development of Self-destructing Filter Cake
(2010-08-24)
The main goal of drilling a horizontal well is to enhance productivity or injectory by placing a long distance drain-hole within the pay-zone. Poor drilling fluid design results in difficulties such as poor hole cleaning, ...
An Analysis of the Impact of Flexible Coupling Misalignment on Rotordynamics
(2011-10-21)
Misalignment in turbomachinery has been commonly known to produce twotimes-
running-speed (2N) response. This project aimed to investigate the source of the
2N vibration response seen in misaligned vibrating machinery ...
Dosimetry of Y-90 Liquid Brachytherapy in a Dog with Osteosarcoma Using PET/CT
(2011-08-08)
A novel Y-90 liquid brachytherapy strategy is currently being studied for the treatment of osteosarcoma using a preclinical translational model in dogs to assess its
potential efficacy and toxicity. In this study, dosimetry ...
Changes in Native Aquatic Vegetation, Associated Fish Assemblages, and Food Habits of Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) Following the Addition of Triploid Grass Carp to Manage Hydrilla (Hydrilla Verticillata) in Lake Conroe, TX
(2011-10-21)
Nuisance aquatic vegetation (mainly Hydrilla Verticillata ) has become problematic in Lake Conroe, TX. Consequently, triploid grass carp (Ctenopharynogodon idella) were stocked at densities sufficient to completely denude ...
Reduced Order Structural Modeling of Wind Turbine Blades
(2011-10-21)
Conventional three dimensional structural analysis methods prove to be expensive for the preliminary design of wind turbine blades. However, wind turbine blades are large slender members with complex cross sections. They ...
Quality and Sensory Attributes of Shell Eggs Sanitized with a Combination of Hydrogen Peroxide and Ultraviolet Light
(2011-10-21)
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ultraviolet light (UV) as an alternative eggshell sanitization procedure for shell egg processing. In each experiment, two cases ...
Bull-switching in African Bovid Herds: Assessing Best Practices for Breeding Management in Waterbuck
(2011-10-21)
To implement sustainable ex-situ management of big ungulate herds such as African Waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus), one strategy is to place a vasectomized male with females during the sub-optimal season for breeding and ...
Search for Heavy Resonances Decaying to Taus in 7 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions at the Large Hadron Collider
(2011-10-21)
Over the last few decades, the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been used as a means of understanding the world around us. However, there is an
increasing amount of data that suggests the SM of particle physics ...
