Novel into Film: the Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner
(Oklahoma State University, 1979-05-01)Criticism of Tony Richardson's film adaptation of Alan Sillitoe's novella The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner is limited to a series of reviews and one in-depth but "misguided" article by Peter Harcourt. My thesis ... -
Novel magnetic extractants for removal of pollutants from water
(2006-12)Scope and Method of Study: This research aims at developing magnetic extractants that can be utilized in conjunction with magnetic filtration devices to efficiently and economically remove a number of pollutants from aqueous ... -
Novel materials chemistry for structural, photovoltaic, and environmental applications
(2018-05)Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) causes the untimely degradation of concrete structures such as bridges, dams, and roadways. This reaction occurs due to the alkalis present in the cement and the reactive forms of silica found ... -
Novel Mechanisms Underlying Diabetes-Induced Atrial Fibrillation
(2016-07-01)Diabetes results from a defect in insulin production (type-1) or action (type-2) causing dysfunctional glucose uptake. Diabetic patients are predisposed to cardiac complications such as atrial fibrillation (AF). The heart ... -
Novel metallo-organic corrosion inhibitors for mild steel and aluminum alloys in aqueous solutions and sol-gel coatings
(2008-07)Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this research was to develop novel metallo-organic corrosion inhibitors for mild steel and aluminum alloys to be employed in aqueous solutions and sol-gel coatings. For this ... -
A Novel Method for the Characterization of Anisotropic Materials
(2018-12-14)This thesis details the successful conceptualization, development, and proof of concept testing of a novel system for the characterization of a material's electromagnetic properties. In particular, the proposed system was ... -
Novel methods of quantifying curing influence and freeze thaw cycles in the field
(2022-05)This work developed a flexible resistivity sensor that provides a novel perspective to develop a deep understanding of two important problems for concrete, i.e. curing influence on concrete hydration and freeze-thaw cycles ... -
Novel microparticulate and monolithic stationary phases for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and affinity chromatography
(2016-12)The overall objective of this dissertation is to develop novel polar silica-based and monolithic-based stationary phases for the separation of a wide range of polar solutes by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ... -
Novel Molecular Simulation Approach to Liquid-Liquid Equilibria and Application to the Design of Desalination Solvents
(2018-05-01)Conventionally, seawater desalination involves energy-intensive distillation or pressure-driven membrane processes. Recent studies show that directional solvent extraction (DSE) could serve as a viable low-temperature and ... -
Novel phenomena in confined electronic systems.
(2007)Modern experimental methods have made it possible for physicists to investigate matter in extreme conditions. Two of the most extreme conditions are low temperature and low dimensionality. Fabricated semiconductor or metal ... -
Novel platinum/KL catalysts for the aromatization of N-hexane.
(2000)Finally, regeneration of Pt/KL catalysts was studied for sulfur poisoned catalysts. While air effectively burned off coke deposits, sintering of Pt resulted. An oxychlorination treatment effectively redispersed the Pt. -
A novel polysaccharide-based surface engineering strategy for nanomedicines
(2022-08-04)This dissertation presents the development and evaluation of a novel polysaccharide-based surface engineering strategy for nanomedicines. Chapter one summaries the current status of nanoparticle toxicology. Nanoparticles ... -
A NOVEL POST-HOC MATCHING PROCEDURE USING STATISTICAL LEARNING METHODS
(2016)In this thesis, a statistical learning method is leveraged to create a novel measure for conducting post-hoc matching between a treatment group and a candidate set. Post-hoc matching is a necessary element in many non-random ... -
