Reliability-Based Calibration of the Code for Steel Girder Bridges
(2019-02-12)
Accurate evaluation and design of bridge structures can maximize the performance-to-cost ratio, which is one of the most critical aspects in infrastructure maintenance and expansion. The author of this dissertation presents ...
Reliability/Availability of Manufacturing cells and Transfer Lines
(2011-05-04)
One of the major wastes in a manufacturing system is downtime caused by machine breakdown/failure and the time and cost incurred to repair the failed machine. Machine breakdown leads to stoppage of production in manufacturing ...
The Remarriage Belief Inventory: Testing the Factorial Structure and Validity with a Remarried Sample
(2005-08-15)
Recent figures have indicated that approximately half of all marriages each year are remarriages for one or both partners and that the majority of these remarriages form stepfamilies. Despite the prevalence of remarriages ...

(2013-03-18)
This design research project explores the possibility of connection between the riverfront and the downtown of Montgomery, Alabama by means of a remediative park system that encourages movement through the city. Currently ...
A Remote Magnetoelastic Sensor with Antibody as a Probe to Detect Salmonella Typhimurium
(2007-05-15)
Every year millions of people around the globe suffer from foodborne illnesses as a result of the ingestion of food products contaminated with pathogens. Foodborne illnesses not only result in suffering and permanent ...
Remote Sensing of Shallow-Marine Impact Craters on Mars
(2007-12-15)
Impact craters are common on solid planetary bodies in our solar system and are one of the most important physical features from which the surface history of these planetary bodies can be deduced. Remote sensing is a ...
Remote Set of Crassostrea virginica as a Potential Means for Public Stock Enhancement in Alabama, and the Assessment of Larval Tank Setting Distributions
(2018-05-15)
The eastern oyster (Crassosstrea virginca) has been a widely studied and influential species for its economic impacts, benefits to local habitat and fauna, and its assistance in restoration. Hatchery reared larvae play an ...
Removal and Immobilization of Arsenic in Water, Ion Exchange Brine, and Soil
(2010-12-07)
Removal of arsenic, As(III) and As(V), in water and soils is one of the most challenging environmental issues. Six polymeric ligand exchangers (PLEs) were synthesized by functionalizing various polymeric matrices (known ...
