Back belt effect on physiological strain and perceived discomfort and exertion during a continuous asymmetric stoop lift task.
(1997)
This research effort evaluated the effect of wearing an elastic back belt on physiological and perceived strain during a continuous, high-frequency, asymmetric stoop lift task. Specifically, this effort examined the effect ...
Investigations into the neurodegenerative mode of action of dihydroxytetrahydroquinoline derivatives.
(1997)
Preliminary testing of a dihydroxyguinoline derivative, 3-amino-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (6,7-ADTQ), showed substantial serotonergic depletion in mouse whole brain, but with only moderate selectivity. This ...
Technology and the change in workforce skill: An examination of United States labor markets, 1950-1990.
(1997)
In the second half of the dissertation I examine the relationship between changes in skill and alternative measures of technology. The findings of the regression analysis indicate that there is generally a positive ...
Structural and Elite Features in Open Seat and Special U.S. House Elections: Is There a Sexual Bias?

An integrated concurrency control in object-oriented database systems.
(1997)
First, the dissertation discusses three important issues of concurrency control in OODBs. These include conflict among methods, class hierarchy locking, and nested method invocations. The previous works for each issue are ...
An investigation of learning approaches of nontraditional students in mathematics.
(1997)
Analysis of the data suggests these students are serious learners who come into a course with high expectations. They approach their studies like model students: attending class regularly, taking notes of everything on the ...
A comparison of two-phase inflow performance relationships
(1997)

A secondary research question of interest to this thesis is that of differential valuation by investors between recognized versus alternatively disclosed financial data. These results offer inconsistent evidence on this ...
Numerical simulation of nonlinear buoyancy waves in the lower atmosphere.
(1997)
A 2D dry incompressible vorticity-stream function model is developed and used to investigate nonlinear buoyancy waves, especially internal solitary waves and related phenomena in the lower atmosphere. Using this model some ...
