Design and Optimization of Condenser and Centrifuge Units for Enhancement of a Batch Vacuum Frying System
(2011-02-22)
A batch vacuum frying system, which processes fruits and vegetables, includes a frying pan, a surface-condenser, and a vacuum pump. With health and safety issues in mind, this research focused on developing a modified ...
The Interactions and Exchanges of Metal-bound Sulfur Containing Ligands with Various Transition Metals
(2011-02-22)
The treble clef binding motif of the zinc finger metalloprotein utilizes N2S2 binding sites. Whereas other N2S2 metalloproteins function in catalytic roles, zinc fingers serve mostly a structural element, although there ...
Economic Feasibility of Converting Landfill Gas to Natural Gas for Use as a Transportation Fuel in Refuse Trucks
(2011-02-22)
Approximately 136,000 refuse trucks were in operation in the United States in 2007. These trucks burn approximately 1.2 billion gallons of diesel fuel a year, releasing almost 27 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. In ...
Application of a Constrained Optimization Technique to the Imaging of Heterogeneous Objects Using Diffusion Theory
(2011-02-22)
The problem of inferring or reconstructing the material properties (cross sections)
of a domain through noninvasive techniques, methods using only input and
output at the domain boundary, is attempted using the governing ...
Goethe's Vision of Natur during the Italian Journey
(2011-02-22)
The following project will examine the scientific, metaphysical, and aesthetic
themes connected to Goethe's vision of Natur during and surrounding the years of his
famed Italian Journey. Goethe's progressing conceptualization ...
Approach- and Withdrawal-Oriented Responses to Social Rejection: The Role of Asymmetrical Frontal Cortical Activity
(2011-02-22)
Ostracism arouses negative affect. However, little is known about variables that
influence the intensity of these negative affective responses. Two studies seek to fill this
void by incorporating work on approach- and ...
On the Border in Everglades and Dry Tortugas: Identifying Federal Law Enforcement Perspectives on Response to Cuban Immigrant Landings in South Florida's National Parks
(2012-10-19)
Federal agencies operating along the border in southern Florida include the United States Coast Guard (USCG), United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP), which is the parent agency for Border Patrol (BP), Immigration ...
Estradiol and Genistein Alter Cellular Physiology of Non-Malignant Colonocytes
(2012-10-19)
Many studies show that estradiol (E2) and consumption of soy and its primary phytoestrogen component genistein (GEN) can inhibit the formation of colon tumors. However, the effects of E2 and GEN at physiologically relevant ...
Investigation of Multi-Frequency Power Transmission and System
(2012-10-19)
This dissertation presents a new power system transmission concept based on frequency selectivity named Multi-Frequency Power System (MFPS). This system allows for selective power transmission among terminals in an ...
Reduction of Shaft Voltages and Bearing Currents in Five-Phase Induction Motor
(2012-07-16)
Induction motors are commonly used in numerous industrial applications. To maintain a reliable operation of the motor, it is important to identify the potential faults that may cause the motor to fail. Bearing failures are ...
