New Tool for Proliferation Resistance Evaluation Applied to Uranium and Thorium Fueled Fast Reactor Fuel Cycles
(2010-07-14)
The comparison of nuclear facilities based on their barriers to nuclear material
proliferation has remained a difficult endeavor, often requiring expert elicitation for each
system under consideration. However, objectively ...
The Effect of Graded Levels of Dietary Starch on Cecal Environment in Horses
(2010-07-14)
Eight cecally fistulated geldings were used in a randomized 4 x 4 Latin square design to observe the effect varying levels of dietary starch had on cecal environment. The 4 treatment rations contained 2 g starch/kg BW (Diet ...
Can Problem Solving Affect the Understanding of Rational Numbers in the Middle School Setting?
(2010-07-14)
In this study, problem solving provided deeper meaning and understanding
through the implementation of a structured problem solving strategy with the teaching of
rational numbers. This action-research study was designed ...
CHANGES IN SANDSTONE DISTRIBUTIONS BETWEEN THE UPPER, MIDDLE, AND LOWER FAN IN THE ARKANSAS JACKFORK GROUP
(2010-07-14)
This study is a statistical analysis of the sandstone distribution within the
Arkansas Jackfork Group which is a passive margin fan complex. Passive margin fan
systems are typically associated with long fluvial transport, ...
COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PEDAGOGY: A NATURALISTIC INQUIRY OF ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION
(2010-07-14)
This research examines interviews conducted with more than a dozen authorities in architectural education on collaborative methodologies utilized in the design studio and identifies factors that inhibit and facilitate the ...
Theoretical Studies of Structures and Mechanisms in Organometallic and Bioinorganic Chemistry: Heck Reaction with Palladium Phosphines, Active Sites of Superoxide Reductase and Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase, and Tetrairon Hexathiolate Hydrogenase Model
(2010-07-14)
The electronic structures and reaction mechanisms of transition-metal complexes
can be calculated accurately by density functional theory (DFT) in cooperation with the
continuum solvation model. The palladium catalyzed ...
Identification of Concrete Incompatibilities Using Cement Paste Rheology
(2010-07-14)
The complex interaction between cement and chemical/mineral admixtures in concrete mixtures sometimes leads to unpredictable concrete performance in the field which is generally defined as concrete incompatibilities. Cement ...
UNDERSTANDING FORCES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO PROTEIN STABILITY: APPLICATION FOR INCREASING PROTEIN STABILITY
(2010-07-14)
The aim of this study is to further our understanding of the forces that contribute
to protein stability and to investigate how site-directed mutagenesis might be used for
increasing protein stability. Eleven proteins ...
REACTIVE FLOW IN VUGGY CARBONATES: METHODS AND MODELS APPLIED TO MATRIX ACIDIZING OF CARBONATES
(2010-07-14)
Carbonates invariably have small (micron) to large (centimeter) scale
heterogeneities in flow properties that may cause the effects of injected acids to differ
greatly from what is predicted by a model based on a homogenous ...
Superharmonic nonlinear lateral vibrations of a segmented driveline incorporating a tuned damper excited by non-constant velocity joints
(2010-07-14)
Linear vibration measurement and analysis techniques have appeared to be
sufficient with most vibration problems. This is partially due to the lack of proper
identification of physical nonlinear dynamic responses. ...
