Compactifications of indecomposable topological spaces
(2017-04-20)
A continuum is a compact and connected topological space. A continuum that is not the union of any two of its proper subcontinua is said to be indecomposable. We examine topological spaces which are closely related to ...
Compaction of Switchgrass for Value Added Utilization
(2006-05-15)
There are increasing concerns about energy prices, availability and utilization in the world. This has led to many governmental and privately sponsored studies and research on the potential of renewable energy from biomass. ...
Compaction Susceptibility of Select Alabama Piedmont and Upper Coastal Plain Ultisols
(2018-11-15)
The U.N. categorizes soil compaction as the most important type of physical soil degradation because of soil productivity and quality loss. Subsoil compaction causes great concern because it is difficult to remediate, ...
“Companions of My Tribulation”: Transatlantic Female Preaching Networks in the Early Nineteenth Century
(2020-05-11)
As part of the pulpit in the early republic, female preachers created their own identities separate from the domestic sphere by forging successful careers as religious authorities speaking in public. Bolstered by a growing ...
Comparative Analyses and Structural Modeling of RNAs Participating in Non-Canonical Initiation of Protein Synthesis
(2010-12-09)
Transfer-messenger RNA and the Internal Ribosomal Entry Site (IRES) RNAs of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) play important roles in trans-translation and cap-independent protein ...
A Comparative Analysis of Client Satisfaction with Food Assistance Programs: The Case of Nonprofit and Public Sector Organizations in Alabama and Georgia
(2011-11-17)
The epidemic of poverty, hunger, and food insecurity is at an all-time high in the United States and other parts of the world, spurring great interest in finding solutions to address and alleviate this economic disparity. ...
A Comparative Analysis of Cyclical vs. Non-Cyclical Romantic Relationships
(2015-07-29)
Existing literature on romantic adult relationships focuses primarily on stable, married intimate dyads. However, up to 60% of couples indicate breaking up and reuniting with their partner at least once; despite their ...
Comparative analysis of repetitive elements in fish genomes
(2018-03-15)
Repetitive elements make up significant proportions of genomes. However, their roles in evolution remain largely unknown. To provide insights into the roles of repetitive elements in fish genomes, this dissertation work ...
Comparative Analysis of Soil Erosion Using Large-, Intermediate-, and Small-Scale Test Plots of Bare Soil and Different Hydromulch Products under Large-Scale Rainfall Simulator
(2020-12-10)
A study was conducted to compare the test results of three different size erosion-control plots under rainfall simulation to determine if there is a direct relationship to the size of a tested erosion-control plot and the ...
A comparative assessment of phthalate effects on gonadal steroidogenesis in male rats.
(2022-05-02)
Although it is a known endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) of the male reproductive tract that is ubiquitous in the environment, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has remained the most utilized industrial plasticizer on ...
A Comparative Case Study of Regional Councils of Government in Central and East Alabama
(2007-12-15)
Councils of Governments (COGs) are governmental units designed to provide regional coordination among local governments and assistance in obtaining grants from state and federal agencies. COGs are made up of county and ...
Comparative Characterization of Electronic Packaging Materials through Steady State Thermal Conductivity Measurements
(2010-07-30)
The decreasing feature size and increasing power generation of modern
electronic devices have created a need for increasingly effective and
efficient thermal management solutions to remove the high heat fluxes
being ...
Comparative Effectiveness of Two Educational Health Mass Media Messages Different in Format
(2018-04-24)
Background: Meningitis B (MenB) is a rare but serious disease. Vaccination is an effective means to prevent MenB. It is recommended by the CDC that universities should consider all media delivery methods when aiming at ...
Comparative genome analysis of related catfish species
(2014-12-12)
Catfish belong to the order Siluriformes. They are one of the largest orders of teleost fish, with over 5,000 living species, accounting for approximately 15% of teleost fish species, or 7.8% of all vertebrates. Catfish ...
Comparative Genomic Analysis and Evaluation of Control Strategies for Hypervirulent Aeromonas hydrophila in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
(2019-07-01)
This dissertation is a reflection of the insight gained through the genetic analyses of a hypervirulent pathotype of the Gram-negative pathogen, Aeromonas hydrophila, (vAh) in the context of enzymatic, challenge, growth, ...
Comparative Genomic Analysis of Catfish Linkage Group 27 with Teleost Species Genomes
(2012-07-20)
