THE EVOLUTION OF OXYGEN AND IRON FLUENCE DURING SOLAR PARTICLE EVENTS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO SKIN DOSE FOR EVENTS FROM OCTOBER 1997 TO DECEMBER 2005
(2010-01-16)
One of the primary concerns with space travel is the protection of astronauts
from potentially lethal radiation. A major source of potentially lethal radiation is our
own sun. During Solar Cycle 23 there were 97 detected ...
Sensorless Speed Control of Permanent Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMa-SynRM)
(2011-02-22)
An interesting alternative for today's high efficiency variable speed drives is the Permanent Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor drive, which belongs to the family of brushless synchronous AC motor drives. ...
Evaluation of Early Measures of Body Composition as Related to Beef Carcass Traits
(2010-07-14)
Two similarly managed trials were conducted to investigate serial ultrasound
measures of body composition (longissimus muscle area (ULMA), 12th - rib fat
thickness (UFAT), and percentage of intramuscular fat (UIMF)) early ...
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, ...
Long-Term Hydrologic Responses To Shrub Removal In A SW Texas Rangeland: Using Soil Chloride To Estimate Deep Drainage
(2010-10-12)
The Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer is a valuable groundwater resource, situated in a semi-arid
landscape of Southwest Texas, where over-use by dependent farming practices has
lowered aquifer levels. In semi-arid regions, rates ...

Kant’s idea of the person and its place within his so-called “Formula of Humanity” has taken on an important role in contemporary discussions of normative ethics. Yet, despite its popularity, confusion remains as to what ...
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) Associated with Maintenance of Bread Making Quality under Heat Stress in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(2010-10-12)
The aim of this study was to identify QTLs associated with the maintenance of
grain quality following post-anthesis heat stress. A population of 64 F6Halberd X Cutter
recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was exposed to either ...
