Theoretical modeling combined with experimental spectroscopic measurements for the diagnosis of high-Z erosion and transport applications in plasmas
(2020-12-11)
Understanding plasma-material interaction (PMI) continues to be a challenge for future
fusion reactors. High-Z materials (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) have emerged as leading
solutions for plasma facing materials. Erosion ...
Theoretical Moment-Rotation Curve for Steel Piles Embedded in Concrete
(2017-07-31)
The accurate modelling and analysis of connections formed by embedding steel piles in concrete is a difficult undertaking that has only recently begun to receive attention in the research community. These connections are ...
Theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of sound transmission through a flat plate and a cylindrical shell
(2017-07-31)
Sound transmission through a flat plate and a cylindrical shell was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The theory consisted of using statistical energy analysis (SEA) to predict the transmission loss of each ...
Theoretical Study of Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions and Thermal Properties for Main-Group Oxides and Nitrides
(2009-08-03)
Main group nitrides and oxides are important solid compounds with applications in fields ranging from structural ceramics to catalysts and electronic materials. We have theoretically investigated the pressure-induced phase ...
Theoretical Study of Thermal Properties and Thermal Conductivities of Crystals
(2008-08-15)
Standard first-principles total energy and force calculations were extended to the calculations of harmonic force constant matrices and third order lattice anharmonicity tensors with an efficient super-cell finite-difference ...
THEORY OF HIGH-DIMENSIONAL ℓ1-PENALIZED LOGISTIC REGRESSION
(2023-08-04)
n the setting where sample size n is sufficiently large relative to the number of features p, a classical result is that fitting a logistic model by means of maximum likelihood produces estimates that are approximately ...
Therapeutic Alliance and Outcomes: The Moderating Role of Therapist Sex
(2013-07-10)
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between therapeutic alliance (between system and within system) and therapeutic outcomes (individual distress and relational satisfaction) for males and females. ...
Therapeutic Alliance as a Mediating Factor Between Couple Attachment and Therapeutic Outcome
(2005-08-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to examine how the therapeutic alliance mediates
the relationship between the anxiety and avoidance dimensions on a couple attachment
measure and subsequent relationship satisfaction scores. ...
Therapeutic Alliance as a Mediating Factor between Couple Expectancy and Therapeutic Outcome
(2006-08-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to determine whether the therapeutic alliance mediated the relationship between couple expectancy for change and relationship satisfaction. The sample was comprised of 59 cases of males and ...
Therapeutic Contact Lenses for Comfort Molecules
(2007-12-15)
Dry eye syndrome affects nearly 15% of the population and can cause extreme discomfort that interferes with quality of life. Current treatment options include delivering comfort agents such as hyaluronic acid (HA) to the ...
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Population Analysis as Applied to Leflunomide and Cyclosporine Therapy in Dogs with Immune-mediated Diseases
(2014-09-10)
Two immunomodulator drugs, leflunomide (teriflunomide is its active metabolite) and cyclosporine, are often monitored in veterinary patients in order to support the design of dosing regimens when used to treat immune-mediated ...
Therapeutic effects of aniracetam on cognitive deficits induced by ethanol teratogenicity: A novel treatment approach through synaptic AMPA receptor modulation
(2007-05-15)
Ethanol exposure during fetal development can adversely affect the outcome of the offspring. Numerous mechanisms are likely to contribute to these damaging effects of ethanol on the fetus and particularly the developing ...
Therapeutic Liposomes for Prostate Cancer Targeted by Phage Fusion Coat Proteins
(2009-12-15)
Cancer diagnosis and treatment is complicated by the molecular similarity of the malignant cells to normal cells. This creates a constant need for the development of probes accurately distinguishing between diseased and ...
