Development of a biosensor for the rapid detection of Salmonella Typhimurium in milk
(2008-09-09)
Foodborne illnesses are still serious problems in the United States. Methods for rapid detection of foodborne pathogens are needed to protect public health. The recent advances in biosensor technology enabled the rapid ...
Anti-Catholic Polemic in Jacobean Print Culture: Contextualizing Westward for Smelts (1620)
(2008-09-09)
The 1620 anonymous prose fiction Westward for Smelts does not identify itself as a participant in the popular anti-Catholic polemic rampant in Jacobean England. Instead, Smelts relies heavily upon stereotyped caricatures ...
Drug Effects on Behavior in Transition: Does Context Matter?
(2008-09-09)
The generalized matching law has been used extensively to characterize choice under concurrent schedules of reinforcement. This model uses data obtained during periods of stable responding to describe response allocation ...
Agent-mediated brokering and matchmaking for simulation model reuse on the semantic grid
(2008-09-09)
The need for simulation in military is increasing significantly due to high costs and safety limitations. Simulation in military is employed for training individuals in real-operating scenarios. The virtual, simulated ...
Using Identity-Based Privacy-Protected Access Control Filter (IPACF) To Against Denial of Service Attacks and Protect User Privacy
(2008-09-09)
Denial of service (DoS)/Distributed DoS (DDoS) attack is an eminent threat to an authentication server, which is used to guard access to firewalls, virtual private networks and wired/wireless networks. The major problem ...
Electronically Steerable Antenna Array using PCB-based MEMS Phase Shifters
(2008-09-09)
In this thesis, a novel approach for cost effective fabrication and assembly of MEMS based Electronically steerable antenna (ESA) arrays’ using flexible printed circuit processing techniques has been developed. The critical ...
MEMS Based Tunable Microstrip Patch Antenna Fabricated Using Printed Circuit Processing Techniques
(2008-09-09)
This thesis presents MEMS-based electrostatically tunable microstrip patch antennas fabricated using printed circuit processing techniques. The microstrip patch is patterned on the top side of a flexible kapton polyimide ...
The Fabulous Nabob: Miscegenations of Empire and Vocation in Eighteenth Century British Literature
(2008-09-09)
This dissertation has grown out of my interest in literary representations of the Nabob, a British Returnee from India who appeared in the aftermath of the 1757 Battle of Plassey.The representations of the Nabob in popular ...
Bridge Pile Bent P-Delta Curves in Transverse Direction Using FB-Pier and GTSTRUDL Pushover Analysis Procedures
(2008-09-09)
Extreme flood events may create large transverse water loads that cause piles of a bent to bend about their weak axes in addition to causing scour. A comparison of the nonlinear pushover analysis procedures and resulting ...
Bioremediation of Pentachlorophenol and Bleach Plant Effluent by Trametes versicolor and its Extracellular Fluid, Focused on Intermediates and Products Formed and the Role of Protein Binding of Chlorinated Compounds in a Two-stage Reactor System
(2008-09-09)
Bioremediation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solutions can provide valuable methods to remove other toxins from aqueous solutions, those that are more or less persistent or toxic than PCP. Understanding the ...
