Controlled Spawning of White Catfish, Ictalurus catus, and Brown Bullhead Catfish, Ameiurus nebulosus, Using Carp Pituitary Extract and LHRHa
(2013-01-03)
If successful artificial spawning techniques can be developed, white catfish, Ictalurus catus, and brown bullhead, Ameiurus nebulosus, may have the potential to become model organisms for accelerated catfish genetics ...
Controlled Transition Density Based Power Constrained Scan-BIST with Reduced Test Time
(2012-03-08)
Controlling power dissipation in large circuits during test sessions is one of the major concerns in VLSI testing. The reason behind the high power dissipation during test is because unlike normal mode operation of the ...
Controlling dust charge in complex plasmas
(2022-07-21)
A dusty plasma is a four-component plasma consisting of electrons, ions, neutral gas, and microparticles (dust) which collect charge from the surrounding plasma environment. They can be found in every regime of plasma ...
Controlling Foodborne Microorganisms in Alfalfa Sprouts
(2016-07-22)
Raw sprouts are consistently found as the source of produce related foodborne illness outbreaks. Research and past experiences illustrate that intervention methods currently used in the sprout industry are occasionally ...
Controlling the Speed of a Magnetically-Suspended Rotor with Compressed Air
(2011-04-08)
Magnetic bearing research is generally concerned with the development of the automatic control systems required to levitate a rotor, driven by either an electric motor or air turbine. The regulation of rotor speed in ...
Convergence Analysis and Numerical Simulation of Particle Swarm Optimization
(2017-04-21)
Nature, including mankind, loves to optimize and the world is far from being deterministic.
Thus, stochastic optimization is an important and active area of research in applied mathematics.
Inspired by the social behavior ...
Conversations in Story(ality)
(2010-07-22)
In this dissertation, I introduce and define my new term, story(ality), which requires refocused attention on the truths available through nonfiction stories told, written, and performed in a contact zone, which is a social ...
Conversion of biomass derived carbohydrate to value added chemicals by liquid-phase thermochemical and biochemical processing
(2017-07-26)
Levulinic and lactic acid are considered as highly versatile chemicals with a potential to be building-block for the synthesis of various upgraded chemicals. The main objective of this study is to develop novel strategies ...
Conversion of Carbon Dioxide and Biomass for Fuels and Chemicals Precursor through Gasification: Experimental and Modeling Approach
(2017-03-13)
Recycling carbon dioxide is of prime importance due to the harmful effects on the atmosphere. Using CO2 for gasification serves a dual purpose i.e. reducing pollution and generating syngas and is beneficial both environmentally ...
Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Monomeric Sugars and Levulinic Acid: Alkaline Pretreatment, Enzymatic Hydrolysis, and Decrystallization
(2016-08-05)
The technical feasibility of applying uniform pretreatment conditions across the different switchgrass varieties to achieve similar sugar yields was investigated. Four different types of switchgrass species including, ...
Conversion of Methane Using Two and Three Dimensional Metal Carbide Catalysts
(2020-04-22)
After various decades of research aiming to discover desirable catalysts for the direct conversion of methane into valuable products, the modern chemical industry is calling forth finding alternative materials to on-purpose ...
Conversion of Methanol to Hydrocarbons in a Supercritical Fluid Reaction Medium
(2015-05-06)
This thesis work explores the effects of a supercritical fluid reaction medium on the catalytic performance of the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction. The MTH reaction allows for the conversion of cheap and readily ...
Conversion of Paper and Oil Industry Byproducts to Graphitic Material
(2023-07-17)
Many different graphitic materials have become integral in modern society for the past couple of decades. Advances in developing carbon fibers, graphene, and graphene oxide have improved the amount of the material that can ...
Convexity of Generalized Numerical Ranges Associated with SU(n) and SO(n)
(2010-05-20)
We give a new proof of a result of Tam on the convexity of the generalized numerical
range associated with the classical Lie groups SO(n). We also provide a connection between
the result and the convexity of the classical ...
Cooling Hadoop: Temperature Aware Schedulers in Data Centers
(2013-01-07)
The amount of unstructured data, also known as “Big Data” in Internet is growing every day. Because the Big data is unstructured, a large-scale distributed batch processing infrastructure like Hadoop is used instead of ...
