Over the last several decades, the production industry has experienced a paradigm shift from traditional mass production processes toward mass customization processes; this enables consumers to become an integral part in ...
Mass Spectral and Chromatographic Studies on a Series Of Regioisomers and Isobaric Derivatives Related to Methylenedioxymethamphetamines
(2006-12-15)
The popular drug of abuse 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has regioisomeric and isobaric substances of mass equivalence, which have similar analytical properties and thus the potential for misidentification. Direct ...
Mass Spectral, Infrared and Chromatographic Studies on Designer Drugs of the Piperazine Class
(2012-02-20)
The controlled drug 3,4-methylenedioxybenzylpiperazine (3,4-MDBP) has regioisomeric and isobaric substances of mass equivalence, which have similar analytical properties and thus the potential for misidentification. The ...
Mass Spectral, Infrared and Chromatographic Studies on Homologs and Regioisomers of 3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV)
(2012-07-25)
A series of 10 homologous and regioisomeric aminoketones related to the designer synthetic cathinone derivative MDPV were synthesized. These compounds were all prepared from a common precursor chemical, piperonal (3,4 ...
Mass-Customization Through Digital Manufacturing
(2013-05-15)
Manufacturing is an ever-evolving process that constantly changes how products are developed. Changes in manufacturing can affect society and companies worldwide resulting in innovative new products and processes. Industrial ...
The Master’s Tools Will Do Just Fine: Booker T. Washington, Racial Capitalism, Immigration, and the Utility of Differentiation
(2022-06-23)
Booker T. Washington understood capitalism quite well. It was a system that not only promoted uneven social terrain but depended on such conditions to sustain itself. Washington had an acute grasp on the reality that ...
Matching Analyses as an Evaluative Tool: Characterizing Behavior in Juvenile Residential Settings
(2019-07-12)
These studies aimed to use the generalized matching equation, a quantitative model of choice-making behavior, to interpret the interactions between adjudicated adolescents and direct- line staff members. In Experiment 1, ...
Mate Choice, Reproductive Success, and How Population Demography Influences Fawning Season of White-tailed Deer
(2014-05-13)
Mate choice of white-tailed deer based on age and body size is poorly understood. I studied a captive population to evaluate mate choice and reproductive success. Age differences between mated pairs did not differ from ...
Material behaviour of mixed formulation solders
(2009-12-18)
The transition from tin-lead to lead free soldering in the electronics manufacturing industry has been in progress for the past 10 years. In the interim period before lead free assemblies are uniformly accepted, mixed ...
Material Characterization of Leadfree SAC Solder Alloys at High Strain Rates with Finite Element Analysis
(2013-07-25)
The electronics may experience high strain rates under single, sequential and simultaneous exposure to thermo-mechanical and transient dynamics loads at various stages of their life-cycle i.e. manufacturing, transportation, ...
Material Compatibility for Passive Two-Phase Immersion Cooling Applications
(2014-03-04)
The objective of this work was to investigate potential material compatibility issues related to immersion cooling for high performance computing applications. Extended exposure of potential performance computing components ...
Material Factors Influencing Metallic Whisker Growth
(2008-12-15)
Whiskering refers to the formation of slender, long, metallic filaments, much thinner than a human hair, that grow on a metallic thin film surface. They are readily observed for pure and alloyed zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), ...
The Materiality of Mastery: Eliza Lucas Pinckney and the Production of Plantation Culture in the Eighteenth-Century South
(2016-12-09)
My dissertation project, “The Materiality of Mastery: Eliza Lucas Pinckney and the Production of Plantation Culture in the Eighteenth-Century South”, examines objects, including texts, made by South Carolinian Eliza Lucas ...
Materials for High Temperature Electronic Packaging
(2016-12-12)
Normally, the operating temperature of consumer electronic devices is from 0oC to 70oC. However, some industries are interested in electronics that can operate in extreme environments. The working environment temperature ...
Maternal effects in Columbian ground squirrels
(2007-05-15)
The phenotype of an organism is the physical expression of its genotype and is a result of both the genetic makeup of an organism and the environment it experiences. An individual’s phenotype can also be affected by the ...
Maternal Immune Activation Alters Behavior of Adult Offspring: Sex-Dependent Impairment and Attenuation by Glycan
(2020-07-17)
The developing fetus is exceptionally sensitive to insult. Perturbation during this critical period of development can have lasting effects throughout offspring lifespan. Viral infection and obesity are insults that ...
Maternal nesting behavior in lizards enhances colonization of urban environments
(2018-11-15)
Lizards occupy diverse habitats around the world from dense forests to arid deserts. The environments in which lizards exist pose different challenges for nesting females because embryo development is directly affected by ...
Math Developmental Education Practices in the Alabama Community College System: Fall 2012 to Summer 2022
