Supporting the Implementation of Behavioral Interventions using a Smart Technology Platform
(2023-07-27)
A smart technology platform that guides behavior-change agents in the implementation of behavioral interventions may be useful for maintaining high, long-term treatment fidelity. The current study evaluated (a) whether the ...
Suppression of Wolbachia mediated Cytoplasmic Incompatibility
(2020-07-17)
Insect biocontrol applications often hinge upon insect reproduction. Wolbachia are maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that infect insects. Wolbachia sterilizes a mosquito sperm resulting in a lethal embryonic ...
Surface and Interfacial Studies of Perovskite Oxides Grown by Hybrid Molecular Beam Epitaxy
(2022-04-19)
Perovskite oxides are well known for their intriguing properties such as ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and superconductivity that can be tuned by different crystalline degrees of freedom. SrTiO3 (STO) is a perovskite ...
Surface and Subsurface Transport of Phosphorus from Surface and Subsurface-applied Poultry Litter
(2009-11-30)
A plot scale experiment was conducted in a pasture at the Sand Mountain region of north Alabama, USA. Nine plots of 1.52 m by 3.05 m were constructed with sheet metal borders to isolate runoff. The soil was a Hartsells ...
Surface Architectural Anatomy of The Penile and Preputial Epithelium of Bulls
(2010-07-12)
It has been a long held assumption that older bulls develop deeper folds or crypts in the epithelium covering the penis and prepuce than are found in their younger counterparts. These deeper crypts reportedly facilitate ...
Surface Dynamics of a DNA Loop Formation Using Surface Plasmon Resonance
(2015-05-07)
Electrochemical proximity assay (ECPA), was recently developed for direct protein quantitation as low as 10 fM. In this assay, the loop-like structure holds methylene blue (MB) in close proximity with the gold surface when ...
Surface engineering of conductive material-based composites for energy applications
(2021-07-20)
With the increasing concern on renewable sources (wind, wave and solar), energy storage and power management have become increasingly important topics. Supercapacitors (SCs) with features of ultrahigh power output, excellent ...
Surface engineering of multi-functional coatings to enhance the electrochemical performance
(2023-05-04)
The electrochemical behavior of functionalized composite for surface engineering and its application is described in this dissertation. The research work includes electropolymerization, microwave synthesis, characterization, ...
Surface Engineering of Organic Conductors
(2018-10-03)
Surfaces represent a rich area for research and scientific exploration, as they often govern how a material interacts with its environment. Control over the properties of a surface allows materials to be used in new ways ...
Surface Flashover Studies of Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites under KHz Unipolar Pulsed Fields in Partial Vacuum Environment
(2012-03-21)
Insulating materials play a significant role in high voltage power systems. In general, the high performance electrical insulation materials and structures must be free from unwanted and unpredictable dielectric breakdown ...
Surface Plasmon Assisted Spectroscopies and Their Application in Trace Element Analysis, the Study of Biomolecular Interactions, and Chemical Sensing
(2008-08-15)
The main objective of this dissertation is to apply the fundamental principles of surface plasmon assisted spectroscopies such as surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy in the trace ...
Surface Processes on Airless Planetary Bodies: Quantifying the Effects of Regolith Mixing on the Lunar South Pole and Ejecta Deposition on Ceres
(2024-04-22)
In airless planetary bodies, impact cratering is the dominant geologic processes that modifies and evolves their surface. Therefore, studying impact craters on airless planetary bodies contributes to a better understanding ...
Surface Reconstruction Based on Plenoptic Image with Convolution-Based Iterative Algorithm
(2017-04-30)
Plenoptic imaging is a revolutionary photographic technique which has been brought to public
awareness recently. It makes post-refocusing possible by capturing both spatial and directional
information of light. In order ...
Surface Separation and Contact Resistance Considering Sinusoidal Elastic-Plastic Multiscale Rough Surface Contact
(2008-12-15)
This thesis considers the multiscale nature of surface roughness in a new model that predicts the real area of contact and surface separation as functions of load. This work is based upon a previous rough surface multiscale ...
Surficial Investigations of Hargraves Crater and Siloe Patera, Mars
(2019-07-15)
This study investigates Hargraves crater and Siloe Patera of Mars. Individual barchan and barchanoids dunes in Hargraves were almost accurately identified using a semi-automated object-based image analysis technique. The ...
Surfing Safely: An Examination of Online Dating Skills in Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
