X-ray crystallographic studies of the cytochrome bc1 complex
(2006-12)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to enhance the understanding of the bc1 complex. The method used in this study is x-ray crystallography and protein crystallization. -
X-ray diffraction analysis of residual stress in zirconia dental composites
(2012-12)Dental restoration ceramic is a complex system to be characterized. Beside its essential biocompatibility, and pleasant appearance, it requires being mechanically strong in a catastrophic loading environment. Any design ... -
XPS characterization of dilute nitride indium gallium arsinide materials nanoporous silica for active sampling of aldehydes
(2021-12)Multi-junction solar cells have been of recent interest due to their ability to achieve efficiencies as high as 50%. When small amounts of nitrogen are incorporated into the lattice, material quality problems can arise ... -

Yersinia pestis response to macrophage-induced stress from hosts with high and low susceptibility to plague
(2011-12)Yersinia pestis causes severe disease in natural rodent hosts but mild to inapparent disease in rodent predators such as dogs. Y. pestis initiates infection in susceptible hosts by parasitizing and multiplying intracellularly ... -

Yield potential estimation in grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and effects of plant height, sensing angle and height on yield prediction of corn (Zea mays L.)
(2005-12)Scope and method of study: For chapter one, grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) experiments were conducted to estimate the yield potential of grain sorghum at different nitrogen levels using a self illuminated had ... -
Young adults and advance care planning
(2023-05)Advance care planning (ACP) is often thought to be for the old or seriously ill, but young adults often experience unexpected accidents, leaving them unable to communicate their wishes for medical care. As the medical ... -
Young adults with childhood-onset asthma: The spotlight effect, psychological adjustment, fear of negative evaluation, and self focused attention
(2014-07)The current study investigated the spotlight effect, self-focused attention, fear of negative evaluation and psychological distress among college students with and without a childhood diagnosis of asthma. It included an ... -
Zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-8 membranes for enhanced propylene/propane separation
(2022-05)The separation of propylene/propane is essential in the refineries and most importantly, propylene is used as raw material to produce polymers and other intermediate chemicals. The separation of propylene/propane is ... -
Zero-tolerance discipline approaches: Perspectives from exemplary alternative schools
(2012-05)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore alternative school administrator, teacher, and student perceptions of the factors that surround zero-tolerance discipline policies and practices, ... -
Zeros of Random Orthogonal Polynomials
(2019-05-01)Let $\{f_j\}$ be a sequence of orthonormal polynomials where the orthogonality relation is satisfied on either the real line (OPRL) or on the unit circle (OPUC). We study zero distribution of random linear combinations of the form -
Zeros of random trigonometric polynomials with dependent coefficients
(2021-05)It is well known that the expected number of real zeros of a random cosine polynomial (of degree $ n $)\begin{equation*} V_n(x) = \sum_ {j=0} ^{n} a_j \cos (j x) , \quad x \in (0,2\pi) , \end{equation*} where the coefficients ...
