Evaluation of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Use in Prestressed Girder Applications
(2005-12-15)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, yet cohesive, concrete that is able to fill formwork and completely encapsulate any reinforcement without the need for external vibration. The use of SCC may help ...
Evaluation of Semi-Adiabatic Calorimetry to Quantify Concrete Setting
(2009-12-14)
Although setting is routinely measured in practice, current methods for determining concrete setting have been criticized for being impractical, arbitrary, and lacking correlation to field data. In recent years attempts ...
Evaluation of Shear Tab Connections as Supplemental Energy Dissipators
(2022-11-04)
As structural engineering practice moves from life-safety to functional recovery after a significant seismic event, taking advantage of structural components to enhance the energy dissipation of a structure will be important. ...
Evaluation of Soil Effects on Soil Erosion on Off-Road Vehicle Trails using WEPP
(2008-05-15)
Erosion and sediment loss from the use of off-road vehicles (ORV) is an escalating problem on national forest lands. The increasing number of ORV riders coupled with decreasing riding areas has caused the United States ...
Evaluation of soybean meal from selected cultivars of soybeans for use in practical diets for L. vannamei
(2013-11-08)
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of twelve sources of soybean meal (SBM), which included new soy varieties in practical feed formulation for Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, using both digestibility ...
Evaluation of Soybeanmeal Quality as an Ingredient in Practical Diets for Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(2018-07-18)
Of potential protein sources, conventional soybean meal produced through traditional solvent extraction procedures has received the most attention among terrestrial plant sources, considering its well-balanced amino acid ...
Evaluation of Spent Tea Grinds as an Alternative Horticultural Substrate Component
(2008-12-15)
Spent Tea Grinds (STG) is the by-product of the rapidly growing tea brewing industry. Published research to date provides few alternatives for beneficial uses of STG. However, the physical and chemical properties of STG ...
Evaluation of Statistical and Machine Learning Methods on Predicting One-way Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams
(2022-02-10)
It is a well-known fact that predicting shear strength of concrete beams is a very complex topic. The traditional approach is to assume that the shear strength is the sum of the concrete contribution (Vc) and the shear ...
The Evaluation of Student Perceptions of Articulation and CTE Classes on Students with and without Special Needs
(2007-08-15)
The ultimate test of schools is the success achieved by graduates. Research has documented that young adults with disabilities are often unemployed, underemployed, isolated, and in trouble with the criminal justice system ...
Evaluation of Subsurface Gypsum-rich Rock in the Context of Geologic Carbon Sequestration
(2023-11-29)
Geological carbon sequestration is a promising means of reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions by capturing CO2 gas and storing it long term in subsurface porous rock. The goal of geologic carbon sequestration is ...
Evaluation of Subtyping Methods for the Characterization of Campylobacter Strains from Different Geographical Areas
(2008-12-15)
Bacterial foodborne diseases are a common cause of lost productivity for industrially developed nations. In developing nations, these illnesses can be deadly for the young, elderly, and immunocompromised. The ability to ...
An Evaluation of Supplemental Activities Before and After a Field Trip to a Public Garden: Effects on Student Knowledge and Behavior
(2016-08-05)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate if students exhibit better knowledge comprehension and retention when exposed to activities before and after attending a garden field trip. Students’ behavior was evaluated on the ...
Evaluation of Sustainable Alternative Substrate Components for Container Plant Production
(2011-04-06)
Pine bark, peat, and perlite have served as the standard substrate components of container-grown plants for over 50 years. Due to a number of factors, including increased transportation costs, a shift to in-field harvesting ...
Evaluation of Sustainable Forage Systems for Meat Goat Production in the Southern US
(2006-08-15)
The effect of production systems on growth, carcass traits and carcass quality of 45 Boer wether goat kids was determined and the development of prediction equations for carcass composition was examined using carcasses ...
Evaluation of Synergy between PGPR and Seaweed Extracts for growth promotion and Biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani on soybean
(2018-11-16)
The necessity to increase crop yield is a constant pressure that farmers are faced with and chemical fertilizers and pesticides are the most effective method at this time. There are growing concerns towards the amount of ...
An Evaluation of the Health Literacy Knowledge and Experience of Registered Nurses in Georgia
(2010-12-16)
Health literacy is a critical component of healthcare in America (Parker & Gazmararian, 2004). It is a powerful determinant of health status and mortality (DeWalt, Berkman, Sheridan, Lohr, & Pignone, 2004). Still, nearly ...
Evaluation of the Aberdeen and Forwarder knots in large gauge suture
