The Characterization of Haliotis Rufescens (Red Abalone): Mesolayer Growth
(2019-04-16)
The structure of an abalone’s shell, as well as its self-assembly process, has been the focus of a considerable amount of research over the years due to the exceptional properties it possesses. The self-assembly process ...
Characterization of High Speed and Arbitrary Headwall Injection Effects on the Trkalian Swirling Mean Flowfield in Rocket Motors
(2016-07-28)
In this work, the bulk gaseous motion inside cylindrical chambers driven by wall normal injection with and without reactive headwalls is explored. The base model is of the Trkalian type and is here extended to include ...
Characterization of Innate Immune Genes of Catfish: CXC Chemokines and Toll-Like Receptors
(2006-05-15)
Innate immunity is known as the first line of defense against pathogenic invasions. Fish, as lower vertebrates, are believed to maintain their healthy status mostly by relying on their innate immunity. Of the many types ...
Characterization of iron uptake into mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2015-07-29)
Iron is abundant in the environment in the oxidized ferric state. However this form is not bioavailable. Cells require soluble ferrous iron and therefore many reduction strategies have evolved. FRE5 encodes a putative iron ...
Characterization of Lead-free Solders for Electronic Packaging
(2007-05-15)
The characterization of lead-free solders, especially after isothermal aging, is very important in order to accurately predict the reliability of solder joints. However, due to lack of experimental testing standards and ...
Characterization of Longissimus dorsi skeletal muscle fiber characteristics in finishing Mangalica pigs supplemented with ractopamine hydrochloride
(2023-07-28)
Heritage pig breeds such as Mangalica are gaining popularity in US niche markets and Mangalica pork is currently sold as specialty meat due to higher meat quality characteristics. Widespread commercial production of this ...
Characterization of Moisture and Thermally Induced Die Stresses in Microelectronic Packages
(2017-09-20)
Moisture has been one of the major concerns for package designers and reliability researchers. It is well-known that high humidity combined with high temperature can cause a number of failure modes to electronic devices, ...
Characterization of Multi-Phase Performance-Based Passive Control Systems
(2011-10-27)
Typical passive control devices have inherent strengths and weaknesses as seismic protection systems. A Multi-phase Passive Control System (MPCS) combines two types of passive control devices in a system in order to offset ...
Characterization of New Populations in Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) and Relationship of Their Traits to Yield
(2012-04-04)
Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) is a short-day, erect shrubby annual, generally 1 to 4 m in height. It is a candidate species for crop rotation schemes as a means of weed suppression and as a green manure crop to improve ...
Characterization of Numerical Error in the Simulation of Translunar Trajectories Using the Method of Nearby Problems
(2011-05-04)
This thesis focuses on analyzing the effect numerical error has on the accurate simulation of translunar trajectories. The method of nearby problems is employed to estimate the numerical error. A simulation is developed ...
