Supercritical Fluids for Fischer Tropsch Synthesis and Related Reactions
(2010-12-14)
Fischer Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) is a process for the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. FTS can be used to synthesize hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals from any carbonaceous feedstock. The process ...
The Sodium Channel Gene Expression on the Kdr Locus in the House Fly, Musca domestica and the Mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus
(2010-07-14)
A point mutation of leucine to phenylalanine (L-to-F), resulting from a single nucleotide substitution in the sodium-channel of insects, is associated with pyrethroid resistance. In this study, to understand genetic basis ...
Continuity and Change in Extracurricular Activity Involvement from Grade 7 to Grade 12
(2010-07-19)
Research has shown extracurricular activities to be positive contexts for youth development. Such activities have recently been conceptualized in terms of both breadth (number of activities) and depth (intensiveness of ...
Degradation of Phenolic Compounds Using Laccase or Peroxidase Enzymatic Treatment
(2010-07-16)
To remove ammonia from wastewater most refineries use biological treatment employing suspended biomass because there is no secondary pollutant. The main purpose of biological treatment is to accelerate the oxidation process ...
Fabrication of Macro Scale 3D Structures Using MEMS Technology
(2010-07-20)
The addition of Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) in the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical-systems(MEMS) has enabled the creation of many new structures that were not previously feasible. By combining this technique ...
Decision Making Consequences of the Paradoxical Flip
(2010-07-19)
The hard-easy manipulation (i.e., manipulation of item difficulty) has been used to demonstrate that participants are sometimes overconfident while believing they are worse than average. This finding is often referred to ...
Energy Efficient Pre-Fetching - Models to Implementation
(2010-04-29)
With the rapid growth of the production and storage of large scale data sets
it is important to investigate methods to drive the cost of storage systems down. We are currently in the midst of an information explosion and ...
Radiated Emissions Extrapolation Issues
(2010-03-24)
In this thesis, the complicated problem of extrapolating radiated emissions from one range to another is tackled. A model employing a Method of Moments (MoM) formulation is presented to compare alongside measurements which ...
Influence of Natural Chlamydia spp. Infection on the Health of the Ruminant Mammary Gland
(2010-01-22)
Exposure to obligate intracellular Chlamydia abortus and C. pecorum bacteria is ubiquitous in ruminants worldwide, with high seroprevalence rates approaching 100% in some investigations. This study aimed to analyze the ...
Collaborative-Adversarial Pair (CAP) Programming
(2010-01-13)
The advocates of pair programming claim that it has a number of benefits over traditional individual programming, including faster software development, higher quality code, reduced overall software development cost, ...
