Synthetic Explorations to Sinefungin Analogs
(2009-02-23)
Sinefungin, a natural complex nucleoside, has been isolated from the cultures of Streptomyces griseolous, and from that of Streptomyces incarnatus. It is a structural analog of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and since its ...
Field-Based Strain Thresholds for Flexible Perpetual Pavement Design
(2009-02-23)
In the recent years, there has been a push towards designing roadways which will sustain 50 years of trafficking without having any structural fatigue damage. These --Y´perpetual pavements¡ are designed using mechanisti ...
Evaluating Spinner-Disc Technology for the Distribution of Poultry Litter
(2009-02-23)
Technological advancements, such as variable-rate technology (VRT), in agricultural application equipment have led to the belief that application accuracy of crop inputs have improved. However, minimal research has been ...
Culturalistic Design: Design Approach to Create Products for Specific Cultural and Subcultural Groups
(2009-02-23)
Designers have a unique process for solving problems commonly referred to as design thinking. Design thinking, especially on a cultural level can be used to tackle a wide range of creative and business issues. Design ...
Initial Investigation on Xylose Fermentation for Lignocellulosic Bioethanol Production
(2009-02-23)
Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass has drawn tremendous attention, not only because bioethanol has a number of attractive traits as an alternative fuel to fossil fuel, but also due to attractive characteristics ...
The Research and Design of Spinal Orthosis to Create a Back Brace for Post Operative Patients
(2009-02-23)
There are 11,000 new injuries that affect the back each year. The injuries sustained are often serious and require surgical treatment. The treatment, along with the rehabilitation process, can often be physically and ...
A Hardware-Software Processor Architecture using Pipeline Stalls for Leakage Power Management
(2009-02-23)
In recent years, power consumption has become a critical design concern for many VLSI systems. Nowhere is this truer than for portable, battery-operated applications, where power consumption has perhaps superseded speed ...
An Evaluation System For Mechanical And Electrical Characterization Of MEMS Devices
(2009-02-23)
The evaluation of MEMS devices during the developmental phase prior to packaging is challenging. However, evaluating a MEMS device in die form can be useful, as its electrical and mechanical test results can provide useful ...
Neuro-Fuzzy System with Increased Accuracy Suitable for Hardware Implementation
(2009-02-23)
Fuzzy controllers are easy to design for complex control surfaces but produce rough control surfaces which might lead to unstable operation. On the other hand neural controllers are hard and complex to train but they produce ...
Living in the Global Village: The Value and Development of Global Citizenship among Youth
(2009-04-28)
Globalization in the 21st century is imposing new complex sociopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges that point to the need for global citizenship (Arnett, 2002; Korten, 1996). Given the demands on young people ...
