Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation Of Chemically Reacting Gas Flows Through Microfibrous Materials
(2008-09-09)
This dissertation presents results of research efforts to propose a design space for new microfibrous materials with enhanced chemical
reactivity with optimum pressure gradient. These microfibrous materials material are ...
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 ...
Muscle oxygenation does not affect the prior exercise effect
(2009-08-03)
The controlling factors responsible for the "turn-on‟ of oxidative phosphorylation at the onset of exercise (VO2 on-kinetics) are controversial. Current hypotheses center on delayed O2 delivery, the build-up of respiratory ...
Testing the Effectiveness of E-mailed Basics Feedback with College Students
(2009-08-03)
This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) when delivered to students via e-mail. Participants (N = 191) enrolled in Introduction to ...
A Design Guideline for Applying Taiwanese Opera Costume Aesthetics to Modern Chair Design
(2009-12-14)
The Western society is using an increasing amount of oriental elements to design products, especially furniture. One example of this influence is famous Denmark designer Hans J. Wagner’s, whose concept the “Y-Chair” designed ...
GC-MS and GC-IRD Studies on Ethoxyphenethylamines Related to MDEA, MDMMA and MDBD
(2009-12-17)
Three regioisomeric 3,4-methylenedioxyphenethylamines having the same molecular weight and major mass spectral fragments of equal mass have been reported as drugs of abuse in recent years. These compounds are 3,4-methyle ...
Family Functioning and Children's Sleep Schedule, Quality and Quantity
(2008-09-09)
Although sleep problems are prevalent in U.S. children, very little is known about family variables associated with children’s sleep disruptions. The objective of this study is to examine children’s sleep quality and ...
Microstructure Development and Evolution of Sputter Deposited Indium Thin Films in Cryogenics
(2008-09-09)
Low melting temperature materials have been deposited on amorphous substrate using DC magnetron sputter system. Process parameters such as power, pressure, and temperature have been investigated to improve surface morphology ...
On The Lattice Boltzmann Method: Implementation and Applications
(2008-09-09)
We studied the development and different types of the Lattice Boltzmann method. We gave several implementations. Then we presented two moving boundary treatments for the Lattice Boltzmann method, the second one is new. We ...
Minimum Power Consumption for Rate Monotonic Tasks
(2008-09-09)
Embedded computer systems are widely used in modern life and their use is expanding. One of the typical constraints in embedded systems, particularly in standalone devices, is their low power capacity. One way to expand ...
